This Sunday falls on Valentine’s Day, a day when we will hear a lot of cultural buzz centered around love, primarily romantic love. This can be good. But as we gather for worship, we come together to be a part of a love much greater, the love of the heavenly Father towards his dearly beloved children.
We’ll begin our worship services this week with Psalm 103:1-13 calling us into worship of our loving Father God, and we will respond with How Deep the Father’s Love For Us. And then we hear these words of 1 John 3:1…
See what kind of love the Father has given to us,
that we should be called children of God;
and so we are.
All of this reminds us that, as children of God, we can clearly see what kind of love he has given to us when we look at the cross of Jesus Christ. Our response to this truth of the gospel will be to sing How Marvelous (I Stand Amazed).
Pastor Andrew will continue to explore our MCF Shared Values in his ON TARGET sermon series this week, digging deeper into the value of Affirmation with a message entitled Affirming the Value of All Humans - The Beauty of Race. His sermon text can be found in Galatians 3:23-29. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we will respond in song to our Father’s word for us as we sing By Our Love.
Lastly, we’ll close our time of worship by praying for our Giving, and be sent out after a couple of brief Announcements with a Benediction. As always, tell us how we can be praying for you. Send your prayer requests to: prayer@meadowsfamily.org.
You can prepare your heart and mind for worship by prayerfully reflecting on the Scriptures and songs for this week. You can find this week’s song playlist on Spotify and YouTube. Remember that attendance is still limited at our in-person services right now, so you must register if you’d like to attend. Everything you need to know about our Sunday worship services, including RSVP and live-stream information, can be found on our website at meadowsfamily.org/sundays.
