Wanted to take 5 minutes and share with you the theme of this weekend
worship service and purpose for the songs and direction we are taking as
a worship team this weekend at Cottonwood Creek.
Theme - We Love - 1 John 4:19 - Building Relationships based on Love from Christ. Songs chosen for this are:
"O
Worship the King"
Great call to worship to get our people in the
mindset that we are gathered to worship the King of all kings!! Key
line in song is "You alone are the matchless King. To You alone be all
majesty. Your glories and wonders what tongue can recite? You breathe
in the air, You shine in the the light." Psalm 104:33 reads, "I will sing
to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I
have being." So, let us worship the King today and celebrate His love as we call people into corporate worship.
"Because
of Your Love"
We have sung this song for a couple of years at CCBC and
it never gets old. We exist only because of His love and what Christ
did on the cross for us by taking our sins away. Listen to this
reminder from this song; "As we come into Your presence, we remember
every blessing that You poured out so FREELY from above. Lifting gratitude
and praises for compassion so amazing, Lord we've come to give You
thanks for all You've done. Because of your love - we are FORGIVEN, OUR
HEARTS ARE CLEAN, WE ARE FOREVER CHANGED - Because of Your love!"
Thank you Lord for your love that has set us free! Hallelujah!
"Glorious Day"
This song focuses on the love Christ showed humanity by being an example
for us, by going to the cross to die for our sins, and gives us the
hope that ONE DAY HE IS RETURNING - what a glorious day that will be!
Great wording in the chorus - "Living He loved me, dying he saved me,
buried He carried my sins far away. Rising He justified freely forever,
and one day He's coming, oh glorious day!!!" We will sing this song
with expectation and hope to lead our people to Christ - We are praying
for you Brady as you lead.
Offering song - NEW SONG called "Your Love Never Fails"
This song is a scripture song from 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 -
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it
is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not
delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always
trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are
tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass
away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when
completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I
talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we
see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of
these is love.
I
love the verses of this song - very well written - "Nothing can
separate even if I run away - YOU LOVE NEVER FAILS. I know I still make
mistakes, You have new mercies for me everyday - YOUR LOVE NEVER
FAILS. The wind is strong and the water's deep, but I'm not alone here
in these open seas - YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS. The chasm is far too wide, I
never though I'd reach the other side - YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS." What a
great reminder to us all that no matter what our circumstance in life,
our past, our sin, our regret....His love has never given up on us.
Trust Him today with your life!!
So,
that is it! Pray with me as we look to the weekend and our time of
worship together as a church. God is going to move in a mighty way.
