Worship Preparation - October 20, 2024

Read the sermon text: Philippians 1:27-30

Read the sermon summary: Have you ever been a part of a team? Being a part of a team not only allows you to have a relationship with your teammates but to also act in a united front against the obstacles your team will face. As Christians, we are not merely individuals saved by the grace of God, we are a part of God’s team, the Church. Christians, therefore, must strive to be united with one another as they seek to live a life worthy of the gospel of Christ. This unity allows Christians to act as a gospel witness to the world and to encourage and equip one another as we meet trials of various kinds.

Read the following song lyrics in relation to the sermon: 

O Praise The Name (Anástasis)

Verse 1

I cast my mind to Calvary

Where Jesus bled and died for me

I see His wounds His hands His feet

My Saviour on that cursed tree

Verse 2

His body bound and drenched in tears

They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb

The entrance sealed by heavy stone

Messiah still and all alone

Chorus

O praise the Name of the Lord our God

O praise His Name forevermore

For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord oh Lord our God

Verse 3

Then on the third at break of dawn

The Son of heaven rose again

O trampled death where is your sting

The angels roar for Christ the King

Verse 4

He shall return in robes of white

The blazing sun shall pierce the night

And I will rise among the saints

My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face
