We are excited to worship with you and your family today. Today we are continuing Facebook Live worship. Next week, May 24 we will regather for Outdoor Worship at 10am! If you cannot attend the outside worship, we will still make worship available through Facebook at 10 also. Everyone should be able to connect with us!
Let us know if you have any questions about Outdoor Worship this week, but for now settle in for a time of praise and preaching. We will be in Deuteronomy 6 today, focused on passing the Best Life on to the Next Generation.
- Make sure your screen is ready. Check your internet connection, and make sure your device is ready for streaming about 9:30. Go ahead and have it set up in an area where everyone participating can see.
- Have your breakfast and coffee ready before 10am. Once the live stream starts, it’s important to be before the screen ready to hear and engage. Don’t let the ding of the microwave, or the gurgle of the coffee pot draw you away.
- Pray together before 10am. Take time with your family and pray together. Praise God for who He is and has promised to do. Ask God to move in your time of worship today. Ask Him to speak to you and give you faith to respond in obedience. Pray for those who are affected by the virus, and those who are battling it. Pray for your neighbors. Trust God is at work for our good and His glory.
- Listen to the sermon starting at 10am with a notebook. Don’t be surprised if the sermon sounds a little different than when you’re gathered in the sanctuary. Not only will the quality of sound be different, but the presentation may sound more like teaching than preaching. I encourage you to take notes on what God impresses on your heart and mind. Taking notes will also help you stay focused.
- Spend time answering the Family Discussion Questions when the sermon ends. These questions are to help you reflect on the ideas in the sermon and personalize these ideas to your situation. You can share this discussion as a family, or individually. Parents and children alike will benefit from reflecting on how God will use His word in your life. Family Worship Guide
- Give your tithes and offerings. Though the church isn’t gathering together during these times, the ministries of the church have not ceased. Ministry teams are continuing to minister to one another, and facility operations are still running. I encourage you to continue giving your tithe to the Lord faithfully. You may give online or through the mail. Visit us at lovingbethel.com
