 “FUNDAMENTALS OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE: Repenting” - 10-3-21

As we worship together "from house to house," we are humbled to come together to worship our God who loves us in spite of our sin.  We confess our brokenness and our failures.  We repent before the Lord.

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: Repenting."  Respond to the invitation.  Enjoy the bonus video.

WORSHIP

COMMUNION

Read the words of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:3‬ ‭NIV‬‬, “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.”  Here is a possible communion prayer to say before you take the bread and the juice, “Father, we are humbled by your sacrifice on our behalf.  We are broken as we consider the price you paid for our forgiveness.  We are grateful beyond words.  We approach this supper with contrite hearts.  In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Take the Lord's Supper.

PRAYER

Pray for us all as we work to live holy and righteous lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Pray for our witness as a redeemed people.

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 week I would like you to journal about repentance - When did you first repent?  What did you need to repent of?  When was the last time you repented?  Do you need to forgive someone who has repented?  Do you need to repent now?

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.
