Preparing for Sunday

Come Ready to Worship

Each week, we provide the following resources to help you spiritually prepare for communal worship. Investing time in preparation will enable you to grow and worship God more deeply during the Sunday Service. Resources for the upcoming Sunday are available by Saturday morning.

Proverbs on Speech

This Sunday is our fourth-and-final week in Proverbs. Over the past few weeks, we've had an opportunity to consider some of the book's major themes together: we heard the sages teach on wisdom itself, and then we received their wisdom on wealth, work, marriage, and sex. This week, we'll listen to what they say about speech. Depending on how you count, roughly one out of every five to six verses in the book of Proverbs touches on speech. We won't read them all (that would take awhile!), but we'll explore several of their insights together. Your speech is very powerful––more powerful than you probably think. When it comes to using your tongue, there's ample room for each of us to experience growth, conviction, and encouragement. Join us for our last Sunday with the sages, as we hear what they say about how to use (and not use) this great power. Soli Deo Gloria!

Big Idea: Use your great power responsibly: selectively, softly, and selflessly.

1. Use it Selectively

2. Use it Softly

3. Use it Selflessly

Preparation Questions: Proverbs 10:19-21

1. Relative to other people, how much do you talk? How wise do you think this is?

2. How good are you at speaking gently to people? (Think about a recent attempt to resolve a conflict, persuade someone, or share the gospel)

3. If you asked your family or friends, how much would they say you talk about yourself? 

4. According to verse 21, what should your lips be used for? What do you think this means, and how much do you do it?

Song Highlight: For The Cause

Our song highlight this week is For the Cause. The song calls us to Christ’s magnificent cause that we may be faithful in our bold proclamation of the Gospel so that many would put their faith in Christ and be saved. It is a call to proclaim good news of great joy that Christ has come and reconciled mankind to God through His great sacrifice on the cross. Through His death and resurrection, those imprisoned can be set free, those in turmoil can find peace, and those who are dead can be made alive. It is for this magnificent cause of the Gospel that we ought to say with hymn writer:

“Let it be my life’s refrain: To live is Christ, to die is gain,
empty myself, take my cross and follow the Son.”

Our whole life is called to this cause of Christ. Christ came to redeem us and save us when we were dead in our sins. Because of this, we go and proclaim His name so that many may hear, trust, believe, and be saved as well. Christ’s Church is called to this work until he comes again in glory. So until He comes again, we go for our King.
