CALL TO WORSHIP

John 10:2-4, 14-15



The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Scripture Reading

 

Matthew 22:15-21

1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Series: When There’s No One to Read the Scroll: Rediscovering the Church

This Week’s Title: Part I: Belonging

Summary: The aim of this sermon series is to help people understand what the bible says about church. This will help our church access the hope and power that God has placed in His church. It will begin with examining who actually belongs to the church. When we see who belongs to the church, we can better understand what the church is really about.

If you’d like to support our ministry, you can do so on our website, under the 'Giving' tab. We know that giving and generosity is part of the Christian life but we also know that we are in unique circumstances. So let it be that we give what we have decided in our hearts to give and not under compulsion (2 Corinthians 9:7).
