The Blazing Fire of the Cross

“The Cross is the blazing fire at which the flame of our love is kindled, but we have to get near enough for its sparks to fall on us.”

John Stott

Gathering for Wholehearted Worship

“Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.” Psalm 111:1

Psalm 111 exhorts us to do three glorious things as we gather to worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Working our way backwards through this song of worship they are:

  1. Thank and praise the Lord for his many attributes & kindnesses, culminating in His work of redemption. (verse 9)
  2. Do this among the congregation. (verse 1)
  3. Do this with our whole heart! (verse 1)
This Sunday as we gather, may we give thanks and praise to the Lord with all of our being and might! Let us come empty that we might be filled and changed!
