This Sunday Ken Boer led us in singing God’s praise.  We sang:

The Saving One

Ken introduced Our God and our focus on singing about God’s power to act, even (especially!) when things are difficult.

Our God

Scripture Readings from Isaiah 64:4, Jeremiah 31:25, Zechariah 4:6, Jeremiah 32:17, and Psalm 68:35), and little more of Our God.

We followed this up with a portion of Mighty to Save (first meeting) and Stronger (2nd meeting).

Joshua Harris preached a message from John 13:34-35 titled “Love“.  During communion we listened to Beneath The Cross by Keith and Kristyn Getty, and then after communion we sang it together.  It fit well with both our taking of the Lord’s Supper as well as a response to the message.

Beneath the cross of Jesus
I find a place to stand,
And wonder at such mercy
That calls me as I am;
For hands that should discard me
Hold wounds which tell me, “Come.”
Beneath the cross of Jesus
My unworthy soul is won.

Beneath the cross of Jesus
His family is my own—
Once strangers chasing selfish dreams,
Now one through grace alone.
How could I now dishonor
The ones that You have loved?
Beneath the cross of Jesus
See the children called by God.

We then closed with Before the Throne (2nd meeting only).
