As we worship together "from house to house," we are reminded that the church worships separated by miles, time zones, and continents every Lord's Day. We are never able to meet with the entire family of God as we worship here on this Earth. We look forward to a day when we will all worship together in the presence of the Lamb.
As we gather together this Sunday in our own homes, we would invite you to sing with the worship videos. We want to encourage you to take the Lord’s Supper in your home at 10:00am. In this way, we can take communion together even though we are apart. Pray for the lost. Watch my message about Radical Faith. Accept the challenge to make your faith visible this week. Watch the bonus video of one of my favorite songs.
WORSHIP
COMMUNION
Read Isaiah 53:5 NIV "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." Here is a possible communion prayer to say before you take the bread and the juice, "Lord, grant us eyes to see, ears to hear and minds to conceive all that you have done for us in Christ. Help us to see your love in His sacrifice. Help us to hear your voice proclaim peace in our lives. Help us to know we are made whole by His wounds. In Jesus' name, amen."

PRAYER
Take the Lord's Supper.
PRAYER
Pray for those who have no church family to lift them up during this dark time. Pray for those who need an eternal solution to all the problems they face. Pray they find Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Pray this pandemic might be the vehicle by which God brings revival to a world spinning out of control.
MESSAGE
“By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Hebrews 11:4-6 NIV
CHALLENGE
Make a list of 5 ways you can demonstrate that God exists. Do all 5 of those actions this week and see if anyone notices your faith. Write down on your list the ways in which your faith was noticed by someone else. Praise God that your faith was witnessed by another person to the glory of God.
