Opening Hymn: Come, now is the time to worship by Brian Doerksen;
Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your God
Come
One day ev’ry tongue will confess You are God
One day ev’ry knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose you now
Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your God
Come
One day ev’ry tongue will confess You are God
One day ev’ry knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those,
Who gladly choose you now
Willingly we choose to surrender our lives
Willingly our knees will bow
With all our hearts, oh, mind and strength
We gladly choose you now
Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Oh, come, just as you are before your God
Come
Come
Come, oh
Come, oh
Come
Come, oh you nations
Come, come and worship
Oh, come (come and worship your maker!)
Sermon:
Poetry is sometimes described as a way of worship. It also shows there is more to worship than music, and singing one day a week. It is also a way that Our Heavenly Father can teach how to make it in the world we live in today.
Some of the old testament is written in poetry form. There are 4 books that do this. Psalms, Proverbs, Lamentations, and song of songs. You can also find poetry like writings in the books of Ecclesiastes, Genesis, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Samuel, and Judges. The book of revelation is the bible blueprint because it shows what Our Heavenly Father was to have take place, and all we need to know from him.
It is the last book because you do not need anything else, everything you need to know from Our Heavenly Father is in the bible. All you need to do is read and study it. Also because it is the end times, which we are in now, it was put as the last book. Our Heavenly Father is never too busy for us. He invites us to draw near to His throne with confidence to receive grace, mercy, and help in time of need He hears and answers our prayers. Heavenly Father delivers us from evil when we let Him. He weeps for us when we suffer. Ultimately, all of our blessings come from the Father. As these and other scriptures show, Heavenly Father wants us to become like Him, return to Him, and be truly happy.
Throwing away all your nice things and refusing to go shopping this season will not make you a holier person than those who don’t. Only The Holy Spirit can make you that.
The solution to the rampant materialism that rears its head in our culture during this season is not to do away with shopping, sales, or Christmas presents. The solution is to love Christ more deeply.Our physical bodies need rest. It is very important to rest. In these busy times we forget to rest, become tired and it takes a long time to recuperate.Raynette K. Weiss Ministries would like to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving and other holidays celebrated around the world. Have a wonderful time with your family and friends today, but also remember to spend time with your Heavenly Father. Pray to him, and talk to him and thank him for what he has done for you.
