a weekly review of Sunday worship to provide resource and
further reflection from our Sunday service.
Sermon
"Abundant Living"
Pastor Dave MacKinnon
Matthew 11:28-30
Listen here
As we wrap up our series on The Mess of Stress, Pastor Dave presented us with the call of Jesus-- to take his yoke and thereby find rest. The music supported this pattern by giving us the opportunity to reflect upon the series as well as this application. We began the service by reading the Heidelberg Catechism Question 1 (see below) and then singing a song based on that question. The service began with this affirmation so that we may be reminded that come life or death we have comfort in knowing that we have been bought with the blood of Christ and preserved by our Father. We sang our theme song for this series "My Worth is Not in What I Own". After the sermon we had extended time of music to affirm that in trial, pain, and tribulation that God "gives more grace", desires for us to "lay down our burdens" and "come as we are". We then ended by affirming that because of the love, preservation, and sovereignty of our father "all must be well".
Heidelberg Q&A 1
Q. What is thy only comfort in life and death?
A. That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Savior Jesus Christ; who, with his precious blood, has fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation, and therefore, by his Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me sincerely willing and ready, henceforth, to live unto him.
