(Tomorrow) we worship God our shepherd. Sheep are known for going astray, often because they do not look ahead or think ahead. They graze with their heads down and follow the direction of their mouths. Sometimes their senses are aware of danger, but usually their intelligence falls short, so they need a shepherd. All of us, like sheep, have gone astray-each of us in our own way. So, we need a shepherd. The LORD, our shepherd, not only leads us to green pastures and cool waters, but He protects us. His protection covers us even from the fiercest enemies; the…
Sunday Morning Calls to Worship
Call to Worship
Today we worship the God of all comfort. Have you ever wondered what was wrong with David that he always had so many enemies? Perhaps he was a bad leader, or had a grumpy disposition, perhaps he looked mean, or maybe he was just paranoid. In reality, although he was not perfect, David was a man who hated sin and the prevailing world system. David, by God’s grace in the Messiah to come, desired to live in a manner pleasing to God. Yet, often the people around him disdained true godliness. These people were his enemies and they desired David’s…

(Tomorrow) we worship God our Father maker of heaven and earth. Unlike an earthly Father he is righteous in all ways. He never makes mistakes, so we can truly call Him our rock! He is perfect and therefore always faithful as our Father. We must not forget when the wrong of the world seems reinforced and strong, we still live in our Father’s world. He will lead us and guide us even through the toughest trials in this world. He gave His Son as our Shepherd, so we should not fear. The evil one has power in the world, but…

(Tomorow) we worship the triune God who is to be feared. He has all power to remove all things from the earth and stretch out his hand against His enemies. We should be silent in awe before Him. We do not know why He chose any of us to salvation, but by His grace and for His glory. His grace was made manifest to us through the Lord Jesus. He lived a perfect life and died a sinner’s death. Behold, the Lamb who takes away the sins of God’s people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. He did not die…

(Tomorrow) we worship the God who will never fade nor fail. He is always Holy and His judgments are always right. His works will never pass away. His lovingkindness is everlasting through all the trials of life. Earthly goods will weaken, rust or deteriorate in time, but God is eternal. The world will fail and one day be destroyed, but the work of the Lord Jesus will stand into eternity. The works of men will disappear, but the work of the Holy Spirit will never be undone. So, even when His sovereignty appears strange or cold, even when His providence…

(Tomorrow) we worship our God who guides us in all paths even through times of persecution. When Joseph was hated by his brothers and sold into slavery, God had a greater purpose and plan for Joseph. God’s plan was a great help to Israel, although later the Egyptians took them captive. But their captivity was to point them to restoration for they had forgotten the ways of the Lord. Later God provided Moses for the people of Israel during their persecution in Egypt to lead them out of captivity. Also, God helped Moses through persecution instigated by Israel’s grumbling in…
