Preparing To Rejoice In Him // November 19, 2017

PREPARE YOUR HEART FOR WORSHIP ON NOVEMBER 19, 2017

 

 REFLECTION

“The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged by its prayer meetings. So is the prayer meeting a grace-ometer, and from it we may judge the amount of divine working among a people. If God be near a church, it must pray. And if he be not there, one of the first tokens of his absence will be a slothfulness in prayer.”

~Charles Spurgeon

 

WORSHIP IN SONG

 

Beautiful Jesus

Your love, O God; displayed for us as crimson covered over sinless hands
Your majesty for all to see in raging storms and quiet cloudless days

Beautiful Jesus, beautiful Savior
Nothing is greater, brilliant Creator, Friend of mine

Your powerful above this world, the universe is under Your command
Your glory shines a holy light that leads our hearts to praise Your holy name

Beautiful Jesus, beautiful Savior
Nothing is greater, brilliant Creator, Friend of mine
Perfect in power, matchless in glory
Nothing is greater, brilliant Creator, Friend of mine

 

GOD CALLING US TO COME AND WORSHIP :: Psalm 93

[1] The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed; he has put on strength as his belt. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. [2] Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting. [3] The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring. [4] Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty! [5] Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O LORD, forevermore. (ESV)
