Preparing for Worship: October 31st, 2010

Video Blog: 10.28.10

This passage in John is where we are fully introduced to the person, and purpose of Jesus Christ. John declares that Jesus didn't come just set some kind of moral example, or to simply teach us how to love better; he came to lay down his life for guilty, unrighteous sinners! A pure and spotless Lamb that would be sacrificed on the cross, and have his perfect blood shed as payment for all of our sin. What a sobering truth! Jesus did not die for some ideological reason; he was not a martyr. His death was always God's plan for our redemption, so we'll praise him for his wisdom and great sacrifice, and we'll praise Jesus for his great love and sacrifice for us!

Here's the songs we're singing this Sunday:
1) Alive in Christ
2) In Christ Alone
3) Jesus Paid it All
4) Jesus Messiah
5) The Stand

Warm up those vocal cords; we'll see you Sunday!

Welcome To Crossroads Community Church's Worship Blog

This blog is a tool for the church community to prepare to come together and worship each Sunday.

So often we go to church just expecting to "be fed." It's true that we need to come with empty hands expecting to be filled with the love and goodness of God each week.

BUT...

I also believe that the church body has a responsibility to each other, and to the Lord, to take this weekly gathering very seriously, and that we should come prepared to participate, and to minister to each other.

This blog helps us to know a little more about what is going on in our services, so that we can prepare by praying, reading the scripture text, looking up the songs we'll sing together, and learning new songs, etc.

It also helps to keep us thinking about worship and our walk with the Lord throughout the week. The way we think through and approach every area of life is an act of worship, and it's the task of the believer to direct that worship towards God in the way we interact with life.
