Psalm 100 (NJKV)
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Psalm 107 (NIV)
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—
those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
those he gathered from the lands,
from east and west, from north and south.
Some wandered in desert wastelands,
finding no way to a city where they could settle.
They were hungry and thirsty,
and their lives ebbed away.
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
He led them by a straight way
to a city where they could settle.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.
Scripture Reading: Hebrews 13:25 (NASB Bible Gateway)
Grace be with you all.
Colossians 3:17 (NASB)
Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
Benediction
The Lord bless you, and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance on you,
And give you peace.’
Thanks Deb. Haven’t ever followed church from beginning to end. What a great morning I had in private worship. Give Eagle a hug for me and tell him welcome to the family.
@ Janet Varin:
So glad you enjoyed EChurch!
What a blessing EChurch is! Wade, I love the story about Eric and his beer t-shirt collection! I’ve heard you tell it before and I think I’ll never tire of it. You told it so vividly that just picturing Eric bounding down the aisle to get baptized and introduced to the congregation brings a big smile!
I also love the story of how David treated Mephiboseth because of his love for Jonathan and the covenant between them. Thank you for making the meaning of grace clearer and dearer for me.
Deb, as always I love the hymns you choose but today I especially loved the scenes in the Revelation Song. It really takes us back to that time and gives a glimpse of the culture in a beautiful way. I assume they were scenes from The Passion of Christ which I’ve never seen.
And then the violin in the Michael W. Smith hymn made me cry. That is one beautiful instrument and that gentleman made it wail so it touched my heart. I wonder if there’s a story behind Michael’s piano of many colors…. 🙂 It’s so unusual.
Thanks for this ministry!
@ Victorious:
It's always gratifying to know that EChurch is meaningful to some of our readers. I look forward to hearing Wade's sermon each week.
