Meekness - Matt 5:5 - Service Leading

WELCOME / CALL TO WORSHIP:

Good morning Church, my name is Jonny Singh and I’m one of the members of Bangalore Bible church and it is indeed a privilege to be worshipping with each one of you’ll at this mornings Worship Gathering.

Today we live in a culture that is mostly about self preservation, independence & is in general egoistic

Yet the Bible shows us that a life of a Christian is one that is marked

not by pride & being braggy but whose life is a quiet disposition of spirit, whose Joy is in the Lord and People .

As we see in the Life of Christ,

He was humbled to exalt us,

He became a slave to free us,

He became poor to enrich us,

He was sold to redeem us,

He was made captive for our deliverance,

He was made a curse for our blessing,

He was marred that we might be restored,

He died to save us.

Jesus’s life was the incarnation of the most magnificent of paradoxes demonstrating to us what true Christian living ought to be.

Our Call to Worship this morning is taken from,

Matthew 11:28–29 (ESV)

28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

And so Church as we come to Him this morning, may we Come to Him in humility that we might find rest in Him.

Let us all rise and sing our first song.

SONG (STAND): Come Ye Sinners Poor And Needy

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy Weak and wounded, sick and sore Jesus ready, stands to save you Full of pity, love and power

I will arise and go to Jesus He will embrace me in His arms In the arms of my dear Savior Oh, there are ten thousand charms

Come, ye thirsty, come and welcome God's free bounty glorify True belief and true repentance Every grace that brings you nigh

Come, ye weary, heavy-laden Lost and ruined by the fall If you tarry 'til you're better You will never come at all

I will arise and go to Jesus He will embrace me in His arms In the arms of my dear Savior Oh, there are ten thousand charms

Feel Him prostrate in the garden On the ground your Maker lies On the bloody tree, behold him Sinner, will this not suffice?

Lo, the incarnate God ascended Pleads the merit of his blood Venture on him, venture wholly Let no other trust intrude

I will arise and go to Jesus He will embrace me in His arms In the arms of my dear Savior In the arms of my dear Savior In the arms of my dear Savior Oh, there are ten thousand charms

RESPONSIVE READING:

Psalm 37:1–11 (ESV)

1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers;

be not envious of wrongdoers!

2 For they will soon fade like the grass

and wither like the green herb.

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;

dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.

4 Delight yourself in the Lord,

and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord;

trust in him, and he will act.

6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,

and your justice as the noonday.

7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;

fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,

over the man who carries out evil devices!

8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!

Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.

9 For the evildoers shall be cut off,

but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

10 In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;

though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.

11 But the meek shall inherit the land

and delight themselves in abundant peace.

PRAYER OF ADORATION (SIT):

Heavenly Father we come to you this morning acknowledging our short comings yet knowing that you are the God who knows the very end from the beginning.

In your Mercy and Grace Father, you spared us from the punishment & wrath that we deserve and sent your Son who became Sin for us.

Lord Jesus, We praise you Jesus, for you are gentle & lowly in heart, who is accessible and gracious, your heart is tender and kind and it is your kindness that leads us to repentance. You provide us rest Lord for you are the living water and the bread of life , what more can we ask.

Holy Spirit of God we praise you for convicting us when we do not walk in your ways, you cause us to actually feel & know the heart of Christ, you are our helper our comforter , our counsellor.

And so we ask Lord that even as we continue to worship you this morning that you speak to us, sanctify us and give us a heart that is of Christ. May we delight in you this morning for it is in Christ’s name we pray. Amen

Psalms 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.” The Lord is on thy side! Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to thy God to order and provide.

Church no matter the circumstances you may be going through disappointment, grief , perhaps a lot of pain. May we Be Still and know that God is with us and COME to Him this morning.

SONG: Be Still My Soul (In You I Rest)

Be still, my soul, The Lord is on thy side Bear patiently, the cross of grief or pain Leave to thy God, to order and provide In every change, He faithful will remain Be still, my soul, thy best thy heavenly friend Through thorny ways, leads to a joyful end

Be still, my soul, thy God doth undertake To guide the future as He has the past Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake All now mysterious shall be bright at last Be still, my soul, the waves and wind still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below

In You I rest, in You I found my hope In You I trust, You never let me go I place my life within Your hands alone Be still, my soul

Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on When we shall be forever with the Lord When disappointment, grief and fear are gone Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored Be still, my soul, when change and tears are past All safe and blessed, we shall meet at last

In You I rest, in You I found my hope In You I trust, You never let me go I place my life within Your hands alone Be still, my soul

In You I rest, in You I found my hope In You I trust, You never let me go I place my life within Your hands alone Be still, my soul Be still, my soul Be still, my soul

Church how blessed we are and will be when we are with the Lord,

When grief and fear are gone

When all change and tears are past.

And so we say “MARANATHA”…which means “OUR LORD COME !”...

Our next song is “I will Wait for you based on Psalm 130”

SONG: I Will Wait For You (Psalm 130)

Lord, from the depths I call to You

Lord, hear me from on high

And give attention to my voice

When I for mercy cry

Out of the depths I cry to You

In darkest places I will call

Incline Your ear to me anew

And hear my cry for mercy, Lord

Were You to count my sinful ways

How could I come before Your throne

Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze

I stand redeemed by grace alone

CHORUS

I will wait for You

I will wait for You

On Your word, I will rely

I will wait for You

Surely wait for You

Till my soul is satisfied

So put your hope in God alone

Take courage in His power to save

Completely and forever won

By Christ emerging from the grave

CHORUS

Now He has come to make a way

And God Himself has paid the price

That all who trust in Him today

Find healing in His sacrifice

CHORUS

I will wait for You

I will wait for You

Through the storm and through the night

I will wait for You

Surely wait for You

For Your love is my delight

OUTRO

I pray my soul waits for the Lord

My hope is in His word

More than the watchman waits for dawn

My soul waits for the Lord

From heaven you came helpless babe Entered our world, your glory veiled Not to be served but to serve And give Your life that we might live

This is our God, the Servant King He calls us now to follow Him To bring our lives as a daily offering Of worship to the Servant King

There in the garden of tears My heavy load He chose to bear His heart with sorrow was torn 'Yet not My will but Yours, ' He said

This is our God, the Servant King He calls us now to follow Him To bring our lives as a daily offering Of worship to the Servant King

Come see His hands and His feet The scars that speak of sacrifice Hands that flung stars into space To cruel nails surrendered

This is our God, the Servant King He calls us now to follow Him To bring our lives as a daily offering Of worship to the Servant King

So let us learn how to serve And in our lives enthrone Him Each other's needs to prefer For it is Christ we're serving

This is our God, the Servant King He calls us now to follow Him To bring our lives as a daily offering Of worship to the Servant King
