COME WORSHIP

PSALM 95:6 (MSG)
So come, let us worship: bow before him,
on your knees before God, who made us!


1 TIMOTHY 1:17 (NLT)
All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God alone is worthy of our worship. 

DAILY FODDER
What does worshipping God look like beyond attending a Sunday worship service?

PRAYER
All honor and glory belong to you, God, now and forever. It's easy to say that but I have difficulty practicing a type of worship that goes beyond giving you an hour for "church" each Sunday. Show me what it means to bow before you each moment and day. I am eager to join with all the saints who have made their lives about honoring you. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
     so that everything that happens here will align
     with what is happening there.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
     and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
