“FUNDAMENTALS OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE: Hearing and Listening” 9-19-21

As we worship together "from house to house," we submit ourselves to the Word of God.  We allow it to transform and change us.  We want it to make us more like Jesus.

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 "FUNDAMENTALS OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE: Hearing and Listening.”  Respond to the invitation.  Enjoy the bonus video.

WORSHIP

COMMUNION

Read John‬ ‭1:1, 3-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.”  Here is a possible communion prayer to say before you take the bread and the juice, “Father, we are grateful for the light.  The light that casts out all darkness and lights our way to you.  We are thankful that we can live in the light as You are in the light.  Cast out all darkness from us and draw us closer to you.  In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Take the Lord's Supper.

PRAYER

Pray for one another as we strive to live the life of Christ before a watching world.

MESSAGE

CHALLENGE

Journaling is an effective tool for spiritual development.  Writing connects our minds, bodies, and spiritual lives.  My challenge to you during this series is to journal about the topic of Sunday’s  message on Monday through Friday of the next week.  This weeks I would like you to journal about hearing God through His Word, through the voice of God’s people, through the Holy Spirit, through the Gospel.

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.
