Sunday Recap: 4/23/17!

by Josh Starkey on April 24, 2017

We had a great time of worship together yesterday. If you missed, we returned to our regularly-scheduled Luke preaching series. Pastor Jordan preached Luke 22:21-30, a message entitled "Counter-Intuitive Greatness." This passage is so necessary, and so helpful, especially as we strive to live out the call of Christ in our particular culture. Listen or read here if you missed any of the preaching yesterday!

We welcomed Erik and Sarah Jones into membership yesterday at the end of first service.

Here's our song list from the morning:

Sooner Count the Stars (by Sovereign Grace Music)
Amazing Grace (John Newton, our own arrangement)
New Again (by Sojourn Music)
Jesus, Firm Foundation (by Mike Donehey, Steven Curtis Chapman, Mark Hall)
Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery (by Matt Boswell, Matt papa)
All Creatures of Our God and King (traditional, additional verses by Sovereign Grace Music)

Eric Durso will preach next week from the book of Hebrews, on "Christ Our Great High Priest." Don't miss it. Have a great week, and we'll see you Sunday!
