Worship Preparation - March 17, 2024
Read the sermon text: Psalm 30:1-12
Read the sermon summary: In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul reminds the church that our faith is not in vain because Christ has risen in accordance with the Scriptures. How, then, does the resurrection ground our hope in such a way that we can be certain our faith is not in vain? And what are these passages of Scripture that point us toward the resurrection, as Paul states? This Sunday, we will begin a short series looking at places where the Bible foreshadows the risen Christ and what it means for how we live out the gospel. In our first sermon, we will consider the God of life and the life of Christ as depicted in Psalm 30. What are the reasons for seeing Psalm 30 as a poetic portrayal of the resurrected Lord, and what should be our response?
Read the following song lyrics in relation to the sermon:
King Of Kings
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope without light
Till from Heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfil the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt
Chorus
Praise the Father
Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of Glory
Majesty
Praise forever to the King of kings
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who'd come
To the Father are restored
And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this Gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel shall not faint
By His blood and in His Name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me
