Exodus 19:1-8
Pastor Keith Daniels
As you read through the text to prepare for Sunday, pray for the Holy Spirit to open your heart and keep these questions in mind:
• What does this text say about God?
• What does this text say about people?
• How can I apply this text in context?
• How is the Spirit leading me to respond?
• Did these verses raise any questions as I read?
Next date: Sunday, May 24th
Here are some ways that you can prepare your hearts to sit at the Lord’s Table, which we partake in twice a month together:
Reflect – Reflect on the person and work of Christ.
Meditate on who He is and what He has done.
Examine your heart – Examine your heart and confess any sin or areas of misplaced hope.
Examine your love – Examine your relationships. Is there anyone that you need to reconcile with before taking the Lord’s Supper.
Rejoice – Come with gladness and thanksgiving that God has made you worthy to enter His presence.
New Song! (Introducing on June 7th)
John Piper famously said, “Missions exist because worship doesn’t.” The ultimate goal of the church is worship, and missions is a temporary necessity of sharing the message of Christ that leads all people to the worship of God.
While we do not save people, part of our new identity as believers is that of ambassadors for Christ—God making His appeal through us.
This song is shaped by those truths, and since it is good to sing what we believe, my prayer is that as we sing it, it would form us and spur us on to live lives on mission. “Let the peoples praise you, God; let all the peoples praise you” Psalm 67:3
