… we worship the God who knows no bounds. The Psalmist loved the habitation of the house of the Lord (Psalm 26:8). He longed to ascend to worship God in His house. The place of worship was truly a sanctuary from the wiles of the world and the schemes of the devil. Often, God could be praised there without the distractions of an interfering world. Paul had longed for Jerusalem and the sanctuary, but He knew His God was everywhere at once. He aided in local church plants among the Gentiles. Paul revealed to them the worship of God who…
Sunday Morning Calls to Worship
Call to Worship
(Tomorrow) we worship our God who reigns over the just and the unjust. Believers are to be in the world but not of the world, so coexistence is unavoidable. We must cross paths with those who hate our God. No matter the revelation provided many people see God as an obstacle to their happiness. Differing views abound concerning God from; a hindrance to pleasure, a manipulator away from pleasure, to a cosmic watch maker. So, the world will turn to contriving their own God. Some people form their god personally, others derive god socially, politically, vocationally or economically. Some do…
Call to Worship
This Lord’s Day we worship in thankfulness for our God who protects us. He not only provides protection by way of idea, but He provides the very means of protection. Think of how many times David’s enemies marched against him physically and tactically. They often thought long and hard about ways to kill him. God provided not only means such as weapons, but even the people like Jonathan who aided David in times of trouble. God bonded the two men together for multiple reasons, but ultimately it was about the means of protection. Jonathan not only saved David’s life at…
Call to Worship
(Tomorrow) we worship God the omniscient or the one who knows all things. We must give Him praise for his knowledge of all things. His knowledge includes all things past, present and future, which means he has foreknowledge of all things. His knowledge and power connect perfectly. He is all-powerful because He knows all things and He knows all things because He is all-powerful. His word proves His knowledge while His knowledge directs us to His power. The Psalmist helps us see His word propagates true knowledge and understanding. God’s word fashions His precepts in our minds, through the illuminating…
Call To Worship
Today we worship the omnipotent or all-powerful God. Job walked through some of the greatest types of trials any person may witness in their lifetime. He watched his life disintegrate; his livestock were destroyed or stolen, his children were killed and most of his servants too, his body was stricken with painful boils, his wife turned against him and God, and his friends blamed him for everything. He struggled and regretted the day he was even born. Ultimately, Job questioned God, but only God had the answers to his questions. So, God answered from the whirlwind. He reminded Job of…
Call to Worship
(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…
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…
Call to Worship
(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…
Call to Worship
(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…
Call to Worship
(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…
