Preparing for Worship on Sunday, August 23rd, 2015

Sermon Title: Growing Together Through Diversity

Preaching Passage: Revelation 5:9-10

This Sunday, we'll take a look at Revelation 5:9-10 as we explore the idea of diversity in the church. From the first instance of sin in the world until now, we have been a prejudiced people. But God's heart for His people in the world is that earthly distinctions of race, nationality, and social status are superceded by the unifying love of Jesus Christ. The church is to be a radically different community, with the walls of hostility torn down and the love of Christ as our new rule, showcasing our unity through diversity.

Songs we'll sing together include:

"Psalm 100" arr. Bourgeois

"10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)" by Myrin & Redman (YouTube)

"All Creatures of Our God and King" by Francis, Draper, & Baird (YouTube)

"All I Have Is Christ" by Kauflin (YouTube)

"Revelation Song" by Riddle (YouTube)

See you Sunday morning!
