Yesterday was one of special emphases. On the last Sunday morning of each month we have “Friend Sunday,” where we try to present the gospel in its simple, awesome wonder. Among other things, we plan the service to be just a bit shorter than usual. The sermon concerned the parable of the man finding a treasure and selling all he had to buy it – on the great delight we find in God, on the treasure Christ is to us.
How high and how wide F
A good opener: from Mark Altrogge (sovereign grace) – lots of Scripture references in this one. It calls us to praise the God of grace who loves us by sending his Son to the cross for sinners.
Crown him C
We began our song set rehearsing why we praise Christ so.
O my soul C/Db
A Stuart Townend song to rehearse all that the Lord is, what he has done on the cross, and how he shall ever be for us.
Beneath the cross (traditional) Db
A song, not so much to explain the cross (we’ve done that already), but to call us to live in light of that cross. It also made for some nice acapella singing.
Oh Lord, your'e beautiful D
I really like this Keith Greene song – our response to all we’ve contemplated. This closed the set.
Knowing you A/Bb
Before the sermon: This from Graham Kendrick – to sum up the vast treasure Christ is to his people. I'll put the evening set in another post.
