SERMON

This week we continuing through studying the book of Acts! This Sunday’s message is titled “Demonstration and Proclaimation”. The sermon text for this series is Acts 3. In this passage Peter and John have an encounter with a lame man. Here we see what was demonstrated in the name of Jesus Christ.  As we continue through this informative book lets open our ears and our hearts to hear from God through His Word.

LITURGY

L: Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other. But—
C: “When God our Savior revealed His kindness and love, He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.
L: He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior.
C: Because of His grace He declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.”
—Titus 3:3-7

MUSIC

Check out this list of some of the songs we will be singing together this week:

  • “Praise to the Lord” – This is a song which calls us to complete and utter worship of God regardless of our circumstances
  • “Death Has Lost Its Sting” – This song reminds us that in Christ we have life who has removed the eternal sting of death.
  • “This I Believe” – A powerful anthem based off of the “Apostles Creed” claiming belief in the one and only triune God

Here is a link to a Spotify playlist. Even though our arrangements might be slightly different, listen through these songs and see the great truths that they speak about our God and then come prepared to sing them out loudly and joyfully as a gathered church.
