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.

Father, You made us a part of your universal Church…we call ourselves Alamo Ranch Community Church. You made the Son, Jesus, the head of the Church. You gave Him authority over all things, especially unto the Church.  He saved us from the penalty of our sins through his death on the cross. He delivered us from darkness into His marvelous light and made us apart of the Father’s forever family both now and in heaven. Father we want to delight in and submit to Jesus in all the affairs of life as a part of his body the church…according to your word. We love Him as well as we love You and the Spirit. Thank you for the gift of the church. We are blessed by our part in it.

I ask you Father to continue to bless ARCC with new believers…with new members…with new deacons and elders…with new workers for the children’s work and the youth work at ARCC. And finally, Father, move in the hearts and processes of men so that everything needed for developing our land and building and our Worship Center and Children’s wing will come to pass soon. Thanks Father for all your gifts of grace to us. In Jesus’ name Amen !
