Worship Preparation - December 29, 2024
Read the sermon text: 2 Corinthians 3:12-18
Read the sermon summary: As we enter into 2025 beginning to function as one church, what will be our mission together? For the next three Sundays, we will consider our mission statement, "We exist to love God's glory, love God's people, and go out in love to serve God's world." To help us reflect on what it means to love God's glory, we will consider this phrase and the surrounding context of, "beholding the glory of the Lord." In preparation for the sermon consider the following questions: What is the broader context of this passage? What contrasts do you see? What do you think it means to behold the Lord's glory? What is the result of it?

Promises
Verse 1
God of Abraham You're the God of covenant
Of faithful promises
Time and time again You have proven
You do just what You say
Pre-Chorus
Though the storms may come
And the winds may blow
I'll remain steadfast
And let my heart learn when You speak a word
It will come to pass
Chorus
Great is Your faithfulness to me
Great is Your faithfulness to me
From the rising sun to the setting same
I will praise Your name
Great is Your faithfulness to me
Interlude 1
Oh
Seasons change
You remain the same

God from age to age
Though the earth may pass away
Your word remains the same yeah
Your history can prove
There's nothing You can't do
You're faithful and true

Oh Your faithfulness
It never runs out
It never runs out
Oh Your faithfulness
Oh it never runs out

It never runs out
(Never runs out)

I put my faith in Jesus
My anchor to the ground
My hope and firm foundation
He'll never let me down

From the rising sun to the setting same
I will praise Your name

I'll still bless You
