APRIL 26, 2020 SUNDAY MESSAGE

CALL + RESPONSE:

Every week, we join with Christians throughout the globe and throughout history to REMEMBER what Jesus did for us by sharing in Communion together.  During this season, as we prepare our hearts communion, we will be using a prayer provided by the 24/7 prayer team to intercede for DELIVERANCE FROM THE CORONAVIRUS.

CALL:

God of all Comfort and Counsel,

we pray for those who

are grieving, reeling from the sudden loss of loved ones.

May they find your fellowship

in their suffering, your comfort in their loss,

and your hope in their despair.

We name before you those known to us

who are vulnerable and scared -

the frail, the sick and the elderly…

God of all Comfort,

you are powerful and merciful;

may this be our prayer –

Amen

RESPONSE:

“He has delivered us from such a deadly peril,

and he will deliver us again. On him we have

set our hope that he will continue to deliver us.”

(2 Corinthians‬ ‬1:10‬)

COMMUNION:

 (1 COR. 11:23B-26)

“The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

PRAYER REQUESTS:

We are hosting prayer team meetings for both the congregation at large and individuals to sign up for individual prayer. 

TODAY’S WORSHIP SONG-LIST:

These songs can also be listened to throughout the week. Use this time of singing to reflect further on the Scripture, sermon, and application for daily life. Feel free to use your instruments at home!

SUGGESTIONS FOR WORSHIP:

  • Coty Miller’s own “Praise & Worship” Spotify playlist and “Praise & Worship” YouTube playlist (slightly different from each other), both of diverse music that are being constantly updated!

  • Bethel Music :

    • Bethel Music’s hours of live music YouTube Playlist, also being constantly updated

    • Bethel provides chords to most (if not all) of their songs here (just have to register email, but free!) 

  • Live worship moments from the Upper Room YouTube Playlist

  • Journal writing! (I’m a writer too, so sometimes creative writing and writing my thoughts to God is my form of worship.) 

  • Declare and worship with truth by singing and praying scriptures. 

  • WORSHIP NIGHT! Dedicate a night to worship with friends and family, your house church or neighbors, those who need prayer, love worship, or just enjoy music through a video chat platform like Zoom. You can have one person leading at a time (switching off to whoever else wants to lead) while others sing along, pray, or prophesy, etc.

  • Serving your community, both online, in person, or both, is a great way to worship God, from spreading encouragement and God’s Word online to physically serving food to others. If you are able to go out and serve, click here for opportunities.

COMMISSIONING:

As Jesus said in John 20:21,

"Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."

Go, be the Church! 

In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

Amen.
