WEEKLY WORSHIP GUIDE

Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church is a response to real questions by real people whom Paul knows and loves.  1 Corinthians is certainly a practical and theological answer to questions, but at its core, it is an example of shepherding a flock of sinners saved by grace.  Answers are given, thoughts are expounded, and falsehoods are confronted with a heart that these people would experience grace and peace walking in the privilege that it is to be those called into the fellowship of Jesus Christ by the God of the universe.

In Your Presence
Yahweh (Psalm 84)
My Heart Is Yours
Good Plans/Doxology

So many times Father the Inspired songs and prayers of young and old David (like Psalm 4) have become our own conversations with You. Yes, we have called unto you, the God of our righteousness, the God of our sure and certain calling and election when we have been in trouble. Sometimes our prayers were more desperate and doubtful than they were full of faith and contentment. And yet You still came to us in our tight spots and made a way for us. Thanks Father. There are many in our congregation who find themselves in the distress of physical ailments and need you to once again deliver them into broad and brighter ways going forward, healed enough to have physical strength to minister as you have called them. Many in our ARCC community find themselves in the tight place of financial pressure  and despair. Relieve them Father with enough income to encourage them to keep trusting and working with joy and hope. And our own church family , concerning the  building of our first Worship center and Children’s class room space, find ourselves at the distressed place again of doing all we know to do in financial preparation and the legal county and city prep for moving on find ourselves in need of you making away through to building our church facilities on the land you have afforded us. Help us see with hearts and eyes of faith once again as you enlarge our tight spot to move forward. Thanks for being faithful Lord. In Jesus name amen.
