This Sunday we'll study Psalm 4, a psalm for those freaking out, in need of urgent help from God. A psalm for those prone to panic to tuck away for the next crisis. A psalm for anyone who is in a troubling time.
9am Sunday School
10am Worship Service
11am rush to beat the Baptists to Fresh House
And to help you make this Sunday a great one, here's those 11 tips I shared a few posts back:
1. Pray for God to soften our hearts to receive his word.
2. Invite a friend or family member to come along.
3. Read Psalm 4 and other associated scriptures.
4. Work hard Saturday so your mind won't be tabulating a to-do list during the service.
5. Go to bed early Saturday night so you're not one of the sleepy seven on Sunday morning (I usually catch about seven of you nodding off. You do realize I can see you out there, right?)
6. Get up and leave the house early so you're not coming in stressed and irritable.
7. Eat a good breakfast before you come so you're not distracted by the angry raccoon growling in your stomach.
8. Remind yourself before you enter the church that you're here to worship God and love others – not to be served and pampered. We're a family, not a spa.
9. Bring something to write on. You'll listen better if you take notes. It's not being a nerd, it's caring about God's word.
10. Bring your Bible so you can follow along in the pages of scripture. It will help you get more familiar with it so you can read it better at home.
11. Go to bed Saturday night thinking about God. Meditate on his character and glory on the way to church so your singing will come from a genuine heart of worship.
