Bildad
Today we gather around God's Word to pray through, praise through, and preach through a piece of scripture so that we can practice trust in the One we know.
Father, help us trust You when we cannot understand why suffering comes.
WASHED
Kick at bar 5 / I've been washed in the water Washed in the blood / I'm as good as new
Why we sing it Christ’s cleansing blood makes us new, even when suffering leaves us feeling undone.
Sovereign Over Us
Your plans are still to prosper / You have not forgotten us You're with us in the fire and the flood / You're faithful forever
Why we sing it God remains faithful and present through fire, flood, and unanswered questions.
The Blood
Everything changed it’s getting harder to recognize The person I was before I encountered Christ I don’t walk like I used to / I don’t talk like I used to
Why we sing it Jesus changes who we are through His sacrificial love and saving blood.
Great Are You Lord
All the earth will shout Your praiseOur hearts will cry, these bones will singGreat are You, Lord
Why we sing it God’s greatness calls our hearts to praise amid every circumstance.
