Humble Community

We are unified through the spirit, and in then humility of Christ we become equal.
Today’s prayer as I prepare my heart is that we can lay our pride aside and the things that we hold dear, in order to unify and submit to God’s sovereign will for us as a church. We can always find common ground in the cross.

Songs and Prayers...

“O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing”
Grace has triumphed, and we can join together and sing.
We can all join and sing of this great love.

“Holy is the Lord”
Unified in our understanding that He is a great God and we humbly proclaim that He is set apart.
In Isaiah 6, we find a great principle of what worship is...
The angels sing
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” (Isaiah 6:3)
and Isaiah is humbled.

“Surrender”
We would be able to give up all that we hold dear.
As we approach memorial day, the word surrender can have negative connotations.
In light of the victory at the cross, Surrender does not mean defeated. Instead it means that we put are trust in the Lordship of Christ, and we attribute to him the victory of Christ.

“Hungry”
Falling on our knees is a symbol of our place of humility and as a church our need for redemption.
