Worshiping through Acts for Sunday March 3rd, 2025

Here is this weeks list of songs. I would challenge each of us to pray everyday, for one another, for our church and for this world we are living in. Psalm 95:1-7 says:

1 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving
    and extol him with music and song.

3 For the Lord is the great God,
    the great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,
    and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
    and his hands formed the dry land.

6 Come, let us bow down in worship,
    let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
7 for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice

I love seeing what God is doing in our church body every week and we are each called to serve in that body together. We are blessed that God has called us to work together for Him. I look forward to seeing what He will do this week.

This song speaks to the deep and abiding love that God has for us, this theme resonates with the Acts 2, where the early church experienced the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the love that all believers should share. God's love is the driving force behind the unity and growth of the church. Our corporate worship should bind us together in a deeper way as we experience God together.

This song is about celebrating the Lord for His mighty works, including the salvation He offers through Jesus Christ. In Acts 2, Peter speaks about Jesus' resurrection and Lordship, which is a cause for lifting His name on high. The song can help us think of the joy and adoration the early church felt as they devoted themselves to Jesus as their Savior and Lord and to one another.

This song can reflect the awe and wonder that the believers in Acts 2 might have felt as they witnessed the wonders and signs performed by the apostles, and as they experienced the sense of community and sharing among themselves. We should be totally consumed by the majesty and grace of God, as they were.

As we close out the service this week with a classic hymn. It is an invitation for the lost to come home, a theme that occurs in Acts 2 for people to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins.
