Worship

WORSHIP IN SONG Instructions by John Wesley

THAT this part of divine worship may be more acceptable to God, as well as more profitable to yourself and others, be careful to observe the following directions: 1. SING ALL See that you join with the congregation as frequently as you can. Let not a slight degree of weakness or weariness hinder you. If it is a cross to you, take it up, and you will find a blessing. 2. SING LUSTILY AND WITH A GOOD COURAGE Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength. Be no more afraid of your voice now, nor more ashamed of its being, heard, than when you sung the songs of satan. 3. SING MODESTLY Do not bawl, so as to be heard above, or distinct from, the rest of the congregation, that you may not destroy the harmony; but strive to unite your voices together, so as to make one clear melodious sound. 4. SING IN TIME Whatever time is sung, be sure to keep with it. Do not run before, nor stay behind it; but attend closely to the leading voices, and move therewith as exactly as you can. And take care you sing not too slow. This drawling way naturally steals on all who are lazy; and it is high time to drive it out from among us, and sing all our tunes just as quick as we did at first. 5. ABOVE ALL, SING SPIRITUALLY Have an eye to God in every word you sing. Aim at pleasing Him more than yourself, or any other creature. In order to this, attend strictly to the sense of what you sing; and see that your heart is not carried away with the sound, but offered to God continually; so shall your singing be such as the Lord will approve of here, and reward when he cometh in the clouds of heaven.

Our Sufficiency

Our sufficiency is of God. The power of His divine enablement. The power from on high. Perhaps you feel inadequate - like Moses, Joshua, Ehud, Jeremiah, Gideon. We can find that He is enough. His great grace is sufficient. Not unto us, not unto us, but unto Thy Name give GLORY!

The Prodigal Son

The story of a journey from the pig pen back to the father's house. A life transformed. And it's still real today. Salvation is still a miracle today.

Nehemiah

Nehemiah means 'Yahweh Comforts'. A builder and a battler. A man with heart, and compassion. A man of prayer. A man of faith. A man of action. Will you go through, no matter the opposition? Will you face off to the Sanballats, Tobiahs, and Geshems? It's time for mobilisation, for persistence. Keep up the fight. We need noble leadership in these days. Humility and the fear of God. Dependence upon God. The Wall restored. The Word restored. And the Worship restored.

Esther

Esther - woman of faith and courage. She trusted in God's care in the midst of great crisis and the nation was saved. A day marked for destruction was turned into a day of victory and deliverance. God gives opportunity. Will we seize it? Your life can make a difference. The glory of God was revealed. Perhaps you're here "for such a time as this"? God still uses ordinary men and women. Will you be an Esther? A Mordecai? Be available to do God's will.

Never Quit

When despair threatens, and it seems like all is lost. The Lord Jesus beckons us to find Life abundant in Him. A testimony of God's grace and saving power. A life turned around to find hope and sure peace.

Set Thine House in Order

Hezekiah was facing death. God has set an appointment for us with death. Are you prepared? Is your life in order? Order is God's design for His creation, His church, the home, and the godly life.

Right thing, wrong way

A flashy new cart for the ark. Like the new fad gurus of churchdom today it was not God's will. Better rather to follow the scriptures and honour the Lord, than to provoke His wrath. A timely word for the church today.

Strengthen the things which remain

God has a message for a dead church. The church at Sardis was well marketed, but lacked the substance. Churches are in decline. The Great Physician checks the pulse and the vital signs look dismal. A plea for a revival of holiness and spiritual life. As rain on the dry ground, God's Spirit is our source for yielding growth, fruit and genuine power.

Brokenness

In Psalm 51 David's life was a shattered mess. Yet God uses him and others broken, such as Jacob, Joseph, Job, and Samson. Brokenness is everywhere. Broken hearts, homes, hopes, health... God's broken people can become the true heroes. As Gideon and his small army picture a broken vessel, our lives, shining forth God's glory. Brokenness can bring blessing, as we yield to the will of the Potter. He mends the broken and makes us whole.
