CALL TO WORSHIP

Sovereign grace o’er sin abounding

Ransomed souls the tidings swell

Tis a deep that knows no sounding

Who its breadth or length can tell

What from Christ my soul can sever

Bound by everlasting bands

Once in Him, in Him forever

Thus th’ eternal cov’nant stands

Heirs of God, joint heirs with Jesus

Long ere time its race begun

To His name eternal praises

Oh! What wonders love hath done

On such love, my soul, still ponder

Love so great, so rich, so free

Say, whilst lost in holy wonder

Why, O Lord, such love to me

(Tune: “Jesus Calls Us” p. 374)

“Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.” -John 6:68

Men and women attend churches for many reasons. To some, the local church is nothing more than a social club, where its members are kept busy with activities that make them feel as though they are doing something profitable for God. To others the local assembly is a place where they can offer their sacrifice of time and money, which they feel to be a fulfillment of their religious responsibility and reasonable service. However to those whom God has done a work of sovereign grace and mercy in their heart, it is the place where they come to hear the words of eternal life. Where else, why else and to whom else would they go?

Pastor David Eddmenson

So completely was Jesus bent upon saving sinners by the sacrifice of Himself; that He created the tree upon which He was to die, and nurtured from infancy, the men who were to nail Him to the accursed wood!

Octavius Winslow

PUBLIC WORSHIP

Public worship is the public assembly of God's saints, meeting together to worship God publicly through the preaching of the Word, public, prayer, and public praise. Public worship is just as important as private worship. It is so important that Christ Himself gives the promise of His special presence and blessing only to public worship, "Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst Of them" (Matt. 18:20). One who says, "I don't need to worship God publicly, I can worship just as well on my own," is nothing more than a religious hypocrite.

One who does not worship God publicly in reality does not worship God privately either. Public worship, the coming together as a church to hear the Gospel preached, is of utmost importance to the child of God. If a person can willingly and habitually absent himself from public worship, one of two things is true:

(1) He is in a serious, spiritually sick condition. When one is physically sick he loses his appetite for food. When one is spiritually sick he loses his appetite for the Word preached.

(2) He is lost.

The true child of God delights in public worship, because true worship does something for him. True worship will draw us closer to Christ in communion, faith, love and obedience. It shows us Christ, it shuts us up to Christ, and it leaves us looking to Christ. If that is not the cause, we have not truly worshipped. God uses public worship to cause us to grow in grace and the knowledge of Christ. It always inspires, increases, and enlarges the faith, submission, and consecration of the believer to Christ. We cannot do without public worship, any more than we can go without food.

Pastor Todd Nibert

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy 2:5

As the sin-bearing substitute hanging on a tree between heaven and earth, the Lord Jesus Christ is the only One that can touch God without being destroyed, and touch sinners without being defiled.
