Preparing for worship on the last Sunday of August - August 30 2015 at NRN

As we prepare for worship tomorrow at North Raleigh Church of the Nazarene we continue in the current teaching series on the Ten Commandments.  On this last Sunday of August it is a great time to invite someone to join you for church.  Last week we welcomed several first time guest and our children's ministry experienced a true resurgence. Our offering was the highest amount in months. God is moving in our midst.  

Prepare your heart to gather tomorrow in the presence of God and prepare for moving of the Holy Spirit. Here is the order of worship we have prepared for tomorrow:

We pause in our singing to talk directly to God and bring Him our praise and adoration - our thanksgiving and joys.  We come before Him in faith to ask His perfect will to be accomplished in and through our lives - for Him!

Oh God, build Your church, I pray.....

Children owe their parents one thing. And no, it's not love. The Fifth Commandment understands that sometimes it's difficult or even impossible to love your parents. But it's almost always possible to honor them. 

Tomorrow I will attempt to explain what that means and why it's so important. And consider this: if your children see you honoring your parents they are much more likely to honor you.
