- **Call to Worship: Psalm 68:1-6
o Think: God expels and overcomes all of His enemies—earthly and spiritual. We, who once were enemies, have now been made righteous—thus we should be glad, jubilant, and full of singing. We are under the care of the God who provides for the solitary, lonely, weak, and destitute.
§ Why These Songs? We chose these songs because they emphasize the battle that the Christian has not only with sin, the flesh, and the world, but also the devil. The text of the sermon focuses on Jesus’ authority over demons and His power to restore us from that bondage. These songs lead us to realize both the presence of Satan’s efforts, but also his utter defeat at the hand of our God, and our protection flowing from our faith in Christ.
§ If you prefer, feel free to find other songs that exalt Christ, flow from Scripture, and prepare your heart to receive the Word.
