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.

Oh Father, bless each and every covenant member of ARCC. There is nothing better than your blessing upon us. Fill our hearts with your love and light that prepare us to serve our church family with joy and eagerness. May each GC and each DNA group be filled by the Holy Spirit so that we can recognize your grand presence everywhere that fills us with hope, and filled by the Spirit so that your powerful and faith building voice would be recognized in our inner man for fighting the good fight for the sake of spreading the gospel around the world…for the spiritual salvation of forgotten millions who need Jesus. Thanks Father for blessing our elders and deacons as they lead and serve us on our journey with you. In Jesus name amen.
