A Time of Celebration & Prayer
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say rejoice. - Philippians 4:4
-THIS SUNDAY'S TEXT- Praise, Prayer, & Thanksgiving
This Sunday we will be focusing our time on praising the Lord, praying to our Lord, and glorifying our Lord through thanksgiving.
In 1 Chronicles 16, when the ark of God was placed in the tent that David had set up, David sang a song of thanks to the Lord. The beginning of David’s song will serve as a framework for our gathering this Sunday.
Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples!
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wondrous works!
Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually!
-CONSIDER & MEDITATE- This week as you prepare for our Sunday gathering, consider the following:
- What are the wonderful deeds of the Lord revealed in His Word?
