Guarding your heart – Proverbs 4:20-27

Welcome

Welcome to our midweek worship service. This is now the 11th week of lockdown and, like me, I’m sure you are all missing meeting together to worship God. Listening to our politicians, it sounds like this situation will be continuing for several weeks yet, so we ask you to join us online twice a week to share God’s word and worship the Lord by singing along with the worship songs. The good news is that God knows you heart and He gladly accepts your worship wherever you are.

Worship time – Lord reign in me

Bible reading – Proverbs 4:20-27

Sermon

Prayer time – The prayer of St. Richard

Worship time – Because He lives, I can face tomorrow

Blessing to close

Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

2 Corinthians 13:11

This weekend we will be celebrating Pentecost when the promised Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks. Why not ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit right now and give you the power to tell others the wonderful news of the Gospel?
