“But as for me, I am filled with power—with the Spirit of the Lord.
I am filled with justice and strength to boldly declare Israel’s sin and rebellion.
9 Listen to me, you leaders of Israel! You hate justice and twist all that is right.
10 You are building Jerusalem on a foundation of murder and corruption.
11 You rulers make decisions based on bribes; you priests teach God’s laws only for a price;
you prophets won’t prophesy unless you are paid. Yet all of you claim to depend on the Lord.
“No harm can come to us,” you say, “for the Lord is here among us.”” Micah 3:8-11 NLT
Lord,
We return to Micah speaking much as Isaiah did to Judah and Jerusalem but also to Israel. Faithfully giving Your Word. And I sit and think well that was the past and now we have the church and it is easy to become complacent.
We are still the same hard hearted sinners as they were. I can think of times when I did not want to sit and listen to the advice of others. I have not twisted the truth per say but have tried to make it fit my opinion . . . and sometimes we think we are the only ones who hear You Lord on some matter. Alas.
How often are there disputes in church because there is an unwillingness to listen to each other and respect a different view. Then when we decide something we ask You Lord to bless it. Rather than hearing from You and asking if we can help?
Today is Sunday a day of worship and learning and listening and coming humbly to remember Your Sons broken body and shed blood. Help us to keep the main thing the main thing. We want to following You, Lord together in the power of Your Spirit.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Worship 27th July 2025
This we believe
That we have a Father
Creator who was and who is and will be
Who sent us His Son
And poured out His Spirit
With power to heal, resurrect, and redeem
The song of the saints forever will be
Glory to God the Father
Glory to Christ the Risen One
All hail the King
With Heaven sing
Hallelujah
This we believe
That we have a Savior
Jesus the Christ for our sin crucified
Oh yes, we believe
That on the third morning
Gone was the stone for He rose back to life
Forever He reigns let His praise fill the skies
Chorus
Amen, amen, amen, Hallelujah
We believe in the saving gospel
We believe in the living word
We believe in the Holy Spirit
Moving in His Holy Church
We believe in the King of Heaven
We believe that Jesus is coming again
Hallelujah, amen
We believe in the blood that washes
We believe in the cross that saves
We believe that the curse is broken
Buried in that borrowed grave
We believe in the resurrection
We believe that Jesus is coming again
Hallelujah, amen
Hallelujah
Chorus
Amen, amen, amen
Hallelujah
Amen, amen, amen
Hallelujah, amen
This we believe
Our King is returning
And He will wipe every tear from our eyes
Our crowns at His feet
His throne at the center
The song of the saints forever will rise
Amen
