The Rhythms of Worship

As we prepare to hear God’s Word, let’s go before him in prayer. This prayer is pulled out of Psalm 119. Let us pray. Father, as we come now before your word, we ask that our hearts would be such that we would rejoice at your word. We would be like one who has found a great spoil, that you would work in us and change us such that we might hate and abhor…

The New Generation

As we have need to encourage, to bind up, to humble. But in all these things that you would turn our eyes to you, that we would see you as the great, faithful promise keeper.

Only a Holy God

As we prepare to hear the Word of God read, let us go to prayer. Father, Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light into our paths.

We’re distracted by the events of the week to come, things we anticipate and perhaps things we dread. And many of us are…

Breath of Life

We pray for the reading of God’s word. This prayer I’ll pull from Psalm 119. Let us pray. Heavenly Father, teach us the way of your statutes, that we would keep it to the end. Give us understanding that we would keep Your law and observe it with our whole heart. Lead us in the paths of Your commandments and enable us to delight in them. Incline our hearts to…

Merry Christmas
