Begin in Worship

BEGIN IN WORSHIP

Pastor Aaron Sutherland

1. WE WORSHIP IN RESPONSE TO GOD'S PLAN 

Ephesians 1:11

“In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will…”

2. WE WORSHIP IN RESPONSE TO GOD’S PROMISE

Ephesians 1:12-13a

"...in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation.”

Psalm 95:1-6

“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker...” 

3. WE WORSHIP IN RESPONSE TO GOD’S PRESENCE 

Ephesians 1:13b-14

"When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.”
