Back When Life Made Sense
Today we gather around God's Word to pray through, praise through, and preach through a piece of scripture so that we can practice integrity amid grief and uncertainty.
Pray
Lord, help us bring our grief honestly before You and choose integrity when life no longer makes sense.
Praise
I Know That I Know (Live)
Last bar: break / Oh I know that I know You won't ever let me go / Every low and every high
Why we sing it God’s unfailing care gives us confidence through life’s highs and lows.
Another Like You
Add layers / There is no one like The Lord our God / You've been faithful
Why we sing it God’s incomparable faithfulness, love, and mercy sustain us when life no longer makes sense.
How Great Thou Art (Live)
Why we sing it God’s greatness invites worship even amid grief and uncertainty.
All Hail King Jesus
There was a moment when the lights went out When death had claimed its victory The King of Love had given up His life / The darkest day in history
Why we sing it Jesus’ sacrificial love calls us to honor Him as King, even in our darkest moments.
