Ready for Mission
Today we gather around God's Word to pray through, praise through, and preach through a piece of scripture so that we can practice being ready for Christ's mission.
Psalm 67
May God be gracious to us and bless us; may he make his face shine upon us so that your way may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.
<strong>God, give me an opportunity this week at </strong>________<strong> to make You known. </strong>(at home, work, school, etc.)
Bound For Glory
This world is no my home I'm here but for a moment
Why we sing it We are here for a moment, so we make the most of the time by living on mission.
How Great Thou Art
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
Why we sing it Making Jesus known starts with proclaiming the greatness of God to the nations.
Singing In The Victory
There is no one like You, God / So lead this heart to sing in awe
Why we sing it We live on mission by singing in remembrance of what our God has done and continues to do.
Make You Known
From the depths of my heart to the ends of the earth / My life's goal Is to make You known
Why we sing it We put the mission into practice by sharing our story and making Him known.
