Sermon by Ant Frederick for May 10, 2020.

Worship Guide
May 10th, 2020
Use this guide as a script. If possible, ask for a volunteer, roommate, or virtual participant to read the parts aloud. There are links to the songs to play and sing along with or sing them a cappella. We want this to be a helpful guide for you and your community to participate together, worshipping the Lord.
We invite you to stand as you sing, to help position yourself to be engaged and focused as you participate in the gathering of God’s people.

Call to Worship
Have someone read this scripture aloud to begin:
Psalm 143.6-10
I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all that you have done;
I ponder the work of your hands.
I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah
Answer me quickly, O Lord!
My spirit fails!
Hide not your face from me,
lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord!
I have fled to you for refuge.
Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God!
Let your good Spirit lead me
on level ground!

Practice
Thankfulness
Take 30 seconds to pray about what you are thankful for. Ask the Lord to help you see His blessings you’ve overlooked this past week, and then share them with the people closest to you.
Pray:
Father, help us see how you’re working in and around us. Open our eyes and let us see how you provide for us on a daily basis. Thank you for all the ways you take care of us and bless us immensely, even though we don’t deserve it.
Sermon
Benediction
Read this aloud:
Lord, remind us today that we have new life in Christ. Remind us that we aren’t slaves to sin anymore, but that we are dead to sin, and alive in Christ. Let your Spirit help us know you more. Help us live in light of your immense love for us. Amen.
