Worship Preparation - May 14, 2023

Read the sermon text: Romans 12:10
Read the sermon summary: What do we mean when we call one another in the church “brothers” and “sisters”? Is it just a tradition that’s taken hold or does it have some spiritual reality underneath it? In our passage for this Sunday, Paul commands the Romans to “love one another with brotherly affection” and to "outdo one another in showing honor.” We will see that the roots of the command are in the saving and adopting work of Jesus Christ for sinners. By his death and resurrection, he has welcomed us into the family and we are now able to call God our Father and Jesus our Brother. In preparation for the sermon consider the following questions: What is the basis of our relationships with one another in the church? How does one cultivate brotherly affection for others? What are some obstacles to outdoing one another in showing honor?
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
(You’re by my side)
