Well this month is just full of awesome things at Crossroads! Our Men's and Women's Bible studies started back up, we just celebrated our two year anniversary as a church, and now we are having our first dual-service Sunday!
It will probably take some getting used to, but we are all so excited to be expanding the ministry of our little church, and we hope that we quickly fill up the seats we've freed up by adding a second service.
I am also excited about our C4 ministry as well, which will be a series-based class focusing on on a variety of topics. This ministry will be so beneficial and help our people grow in their knowledge of God's Word!
As far as what this Sunday holds, here's what's going on...
We're starting the service with "Indescribable" and I tried something a little different with the lyric slides that you'll see on the screen. I thought that since there is so much imagery in the lyrics to the song, that it might be cool to see some actual images of those things behind the words we're singing. I found some REALLY cool images that hopefully will give us new perspective on the words we're singing.
Pastor Todd will come and lead us in prayer, and welcome our visitors, before giving us all a chance to do the same.
We'll continue singing, and this week we're focusing on how holy, and perfect, and amazing our God is, and as we grow in our understanding of this, it makes the passage we'll be studying make all the more sense. Jesus said "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" and as we realize the gap between our righteousness and God's perfect standard, we can understand our deep need for the Savior!
We'll sing "Immortal, Invisible" followed by "Good To Me" before we sing "Create In Me" as a prayer of preparation for the work that God's Holy Spirit wants to work in us as we hear His Word proclaimed.
As we respond together after the sermon, we'll sing "Give Us Clean Hands" and end the service with "Be Glorified" as we continually resolve to seek him and live a life worthy of his calling, by the power of his Spirit who lives within us!
Happy preparation!
