Great are the Works of the Lord
As we look to the reading of God’s word, if you join with me in prayer. Father, we do thank you and bless you that you have given us your word preserved from one generation to the next. And Father, as we come before you today with questions of our generation, we ask then that you would continue to speak your eternal truth, which do not change to those things which…
I Will Trust in the LORD
As we prepare to hear God’s word read, I encourage you to take your Bibles in hand and open up to Psalm 56. If you didn’t bring your Bible with you, you can find it in the pew on page 476. But in anticipation of the reading and the hearing of God’s word, let me pray. This will flow from Psalm 119, the section entitled Vab. Let us pray. Father, we ask…
A Hidden God
After a couple of weeks in Proverbs, we shifted over to a psalm today. It’s a beautiful morning with joyful music that we’ve just sung in a very difficult psalm. Some directional help as we go forward. We are going to start by plunging down as it were a massive dark wave, and then we will ride it back up to join to the top, the daylight of the great grace and…
A Passionate Peace
The last couple of weeks in Proverbs, we have looked at what it means to have a peaceful heart in conflict, as well as in giving and receiving correction. And this morning, we looked at God’s wisdom in our anger. It was all dovetailed together. So we looked at the reading of God’s word, though, if you please join with me in prayer. Our blessed Triune Lord in…
Faithful Wounds
Remember of Psalms and Proverbs, and we are looking at a medley of text starting with Proverbs 27. We consider the wisdom in both giving and receiving instruction or correction. We look to the reading of God’s word. If you please join with me in prayer. Lord, we do ask that you would shed your light upon us by being rid of the darkness of our hearts, that we might…
A Soft Answer
Proverbs 15, Summer Psal. Proverbs are back for a limited time, and we are ready to jump right in with this Book of Proverbs, looking at how our relationship to Jesus transforms conflict in our other relationships. As we look to the reading of God’s word, if you please join with me in prayer. Oh God, we do ask that you would guide us by your word and spirit, that in…
Country Living in a Broken World
Let’s pray as we prepare to hear God’s word. This prayer flows from Psalm 119, the section entitled KAAF. Let’s pray. Father, we, our souls, long for your salvation. And we long to hope in your word. Our eyes long for your promise. And yet at times we find we ask, When will you comfort us? For we have become like a wine skin in the smoke, and yet we have…
Poured Out
Today, we celebrate the birth of the church, Universal. The Holy spirit launches the message of Christ into the world through a newly empowered people. It has been the case through the early church, the two greatest celebrations, first being Easter, the second being Pentecost, which may surprise some, has somewhat become culturally invisible, at least amongst protestants.…
Cross-Bearing Disciples
We finish our series this morning on the discipleship in the gospel of Mark. For us is the call of Jesus in crossbearing. We look through the reading of God’s word. If you please join with me in prayer. Father, indeed, we thank you that you have given to us your words, that you have had them written down for our learning. And we ask Lord God, that you would indeed…
Living for Jesus in Hard Times
What does it mean for followers of Christ to live for him with one eye on the future horizon and the other upon our present suffering? We look through the reading of God’s word. If you please join me in prayer. Father, of all mercy in your word, your endless glory shine forth. And we ask them that you would reveal them to us this day, all through the marvelous…
