 "THE GREATEST LOVE: Sacrifice" - 3-21-21

As we worship together "from house to house," we contemplate the sacrifice you made for us and the sacrifice you demand of us.

If you cannot join us this Sunday, we invite you to sing along with the worship videos.  We encourage you to take the Lord’s Supper.  In this way, we can take communion together even though we are apart.  Pray for one another.  Watch my message "THE GREATEST LOVE: Sacrifice."  Respond to the invitation.  Enjoy the bonus video.

WORSHIP

COMMUNION

Read 1 Peter‬ ‭1:18-19‬ ‭NIV‬‬, "For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”  Here is a possible communion prayer to say before you take the bread and the juice, “Father, we were redeemed by the blood of your spotless lamb, Jesus.  You paid a great price for damaged people.  We are humbled by your sacrifice.  We give you thanks.  In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Take the Lord's Supper.

PRAYER

Pray for the courage to sacrifice (even when it is difficult).

MESSAGE

CHALLENGE

"Keep Kenwood Connected" has been a reminder to stay connected with your church family since January.  In February, we added "Connecting Others to Jesus" as a way to have a conversation with someone about Jesus.  This month we add "Share the Greatest Love."  The challenge this week is to make a sacrifice.  That could be letting someone else have what they want.  Perhaps giving away money or possessions.  Sacrifice.

INVITATION

It is our custom to offer an "invitation" following the preaching of the Word at Kenwood Church.  You may want to follow Jesus.  You may want to proclaim your faith.  You may want to repent (stop doing ungodly things and start doing Godly things).  Perhaps you want to be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Possibly, if you have already responded to God’s call in these way, you would like to become a member of Kenwood Church.  If you have been moved by the Holy Spirit to make a decision in your life, I encourage you to speak with me via phone (248-476-8222) or an email (toddlackie@kenwoodchurch.org).  I would be honored to speak with you about what God is doing in your life and try to connect you with a community of faith in your area.
