25: Preparing For Church

Being Prepared for Worship on Sunday

• Nancy Wilson use to loath going to church on Sundays because she had little kids that were difficult to handle and a lot of hard work to prepare and supervise at church.
• Nancy was convicted when a friend of her's told her how much she loves and looks forward to church on Sundays and Nancy realized that she didn't have that same outlook.
• The best preparation for Sunday is to walk with God all week so we need to stay in fellowship, ask for forgiveness, prepare our hearts for worship. 
  
• Be reading the Word all week long so you know your way around the Bible. Read ahead in advance of Sunday and take a moment to pray for your heart to receive what God has for you.
• Prepare in advance for Sunday worship services by laying out your outfit, getting bible and journal ready, have breakfast figured out or just a plan for what to eat on Sunday morning. 
  
• What seems to be the challenges and troubles that you might have each Sunday morning and how can you prepare for Sundays so that you can come to worship on the Lord's day with a joyful, grateful, prepared and ready heart. 
• Pray for the Sunday morning service throughout the week. Pray for the pastor, his sermon, and his preparation, pray for the worship team, the board of directors, the community groups. Pray for new people to visit and watch online, pray for ears to hear and hearts to be transformed. 
• In the midst of these crazy and uncertain times, we know who we are, we have anchor in the midst of the stormy and each Sunday we remember and celebrate that anchor, the Lord Jesus Christ.
