Worship Preparation - November 10, 2024

Read the sermon text: Matthew 6:1-18

Read the sermon summary: This Sunday we will continue our series through the Sermon on the Mount from the Gospel of Matthew. Last Sunday we considered the righteousness of the kingdom of God. We saw the high standard of righteousness that is required for entrance into the kingdom of heaven and that Jesus came to fulfill the Law and Prophets. Jesus meets the standard for us and then enables us by the Holy Spirit to begin walking in this righteousness. This Sunday, we will continue thinking about the righteousness of the kingdom of God, specifically how to practice our righteousness in everyday life. We'll be led to consider, "In what ways do I practice my righteousness in order to be seen by others, rather than serving an audience of One.

Read the following song lyrics in relation to the sermon: 

Before The Throne Of God

Verse 1

Before the throne of God above

I have a strong and perfect plea

A great High Priest whose name is Love

Who ever lives and pleads for me

Verse 2

My name is graven on His hands

My name is written on His heart

I know that while in heaven He stands

No tongue can bid me thence depart

Verse 3

When Satan tempts me to despair

And tells me of the guilt within

Upward I look and see Him there

Who made an end of all my sin

Verse 4

Because the sinless Saviour died

My sinful soul is counted free

For God the Just is satisfied

To look on Him and pardon me

Verse 5

Behold Him there the risen Lamb

My perfect spotless Righteousness

The great unchangeable I AM

The King of glory and of grace

Verse 6

One with Himself I cannot die

My soul is purchased by His blood

My life is hid with Christ on high

With Christ my Saviour and my God
