Worship Preparation - January 21, 2024
Sunday, January 14, 2024
Read the sermon text: Hebrews 1:5-2:4
Read the sermon summary: We learn a lot about people from how they use their power and authority. From kings to governors, bosses, pastors, and parents, no one is exempt from the temptations to misuse authority. As is famously said, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” In our passage for this Sunday, we see that everything has been put in subjection under the feet of the Son. Well, how has he used this power? We will see that Jesus is distinct from all other kings and leaders in that he willingly tasted death for his subjects. In preparation for the sermon consider the following questions: What contrasts in this passage do you see? What is the result of Jesus suffering? Why is Jesus “not ashamed to call them brothers”?
Read the following song lyrics in relation to the sermon:
Sons And Daughters
Before He spoke creation
The God of Heaven knew our names
Formed in His reflection
We are His glory on display
And His heart is good
He is always kind
With a cross He proved
He is on my side
Chorus
We are the sons we are the daughters of God
No matter where we go
We're close to the Father's heart
And though we stumble He will not let us fall
We are the Lord's and He will never forsake His own
We are the sons we are the daughters of God
His love He lavished on us
And called us children of the King
And in His loving kindness
He chose the lowly and the weak
When the lies speak louder than the truth
Remind me I belong to You
When I can't see past the dark of night
Remind me You're always by my side
