 "THE GREATEST LOVE: The Cross of Love" - 3-14-21

As we worship together "from house to house," we contemplate “The Greatest Love.”  We focus on the love of God as seen in the death of His son, Jesus, on the cross.

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: The Cross of Love."  Respond to the invitation.  Enjoy the bonus video.

WORSHIP

COMMUNION

Read Hebrews 12:2, “For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”  Here is a possible communion prayer to say before you take the bread and the juice, “Father, we are in awe of the sacrifice that our savior, Jesus, made on the cross.  With joy he offered himself freely.  It is with joy that we take up our own crosses as we follow his example.  May you be glorified for your great live toward us.  In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Take the Lord's Supper.

PRAYER

Pray for the power to demonstrate love by doing those things that you do not want to do.  Pray for the power to serve.

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 deliberate choice to do something you do not want to do for someone else.  That is love.

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.
