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.

Goodness Of God

Father, you glorified the son throughout his earthly ministry, especially at the cross. You gave him courage to go through the torturous sacrificial suffering and death on the cross that he had committed himself to for eternity for the sake of his church. You gave him hope in the resurrection to get him through the physical pain until it was time to say “it is finished”. And that resurrection hope for his followers must have been a blessing to Jesus too. Lord, death awaits us who believe you. We know that you will give us courage and faith to face it. You will be with us. Thank you father.
And we pray that you would comfort our family and friends as they go through our suffering and death with us. Thank you for your promise to never leave us nor forsake us. And thanks for the promise that for us to live is Christ and to die is gain. In Jesus’ name amen!!!
