Preparing for Worship November 3, 2024 www.crossroadswsks.com WHAT TO PRAY THIS WEEK Speaker: Patrick Belshi Pray for those who will lead in worship: Garold Syring-the Worship Ministry team Patrick Belshe Erin Toole Pray that the Holy Spirit will move in our corporate gatherings, leading us to exalt Jesus Christ. Pray that CCC will grow in Christ-exalting, Kingdom advancing ministry in 2024. Pray that God will move on us to be more evangelistic and, through our obedience in sharing the Gospel, will save many. Pray that we will become a house of prayer. This Sunday Patrick will be using 1 Timothy 3:11-16 as his text for his sermon entitled “Hope for the Ages”. 14 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, 15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. 16 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He[was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory. The Moods of Worship Hear these words: In whose hand are the depths of the earth; The high peaks of the mountains are His as well. Psalm 95:4 There is no room for imaginary gods in the sea either. Both sea and dry ground, both hidden depths and exalted peaks – all are in the control of the One in whom we boast. SONGS OF WORSHIP This Sunday's Music As we prepare for corporate worship, meditate on the lyrics from some of our songs of worship. Listen to them Below. Pre-worship ‘O Church, Arise’ ‘The Solid Rock’ ‘We Believe’ ‘Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery’ Listen to the songs on our website under the menu heading ‘Preparation for Worship’. O Church, Arise O church, arise and put your amor on; Hear the call of Christ our captain; For now the weak can say that they are strong In the strength that God has given. With shield of faith and belt of truth We’ll stand against the devil’s lies; An army bold whose battle cry is “Love!” Reaching out to those in darkness. Our call to war, to love the captive soul, But to rage against the captor; And with the sword that makes the wounded whole We will fight with faith and valor. When faced with trials one every side, We know the outcome is secure, And Christ will have the praise for which He died- An inheritance of nations. Come see the cross where love and mercy meet, As the Son of God is stricken; Then see His foes lies crushed beneath His feet, For the Conqueror has risen! And as the stone is rolled away, And Christ emerges from the grave, This victory march continues till the day Every eye and heart shall see Him. So Spirit, come, put strength in every stride, Give grace for every hurdle, That we may tun with faith to win the prize Of a servant good and faithful. As saints of old still line the way, Retelling triumphs of His grace, We hear their calls and hunger for the day When, with Christ, we stand in glory. “O Church, Arise” Words and Music by KEITH GETY and STUART TOWNSEND © 2005 Thankyou Music (PRS) ) (Adm.

He the theme of heaven’s praises, robed in frail humanity. In our longing, in our darkness, now the light of life has come. Look to Christ, who condescended, took on flesh to ransom us. Come behold the wondrous mystery, He the perfect Son of Man. In His suffering, never trace, nor stain of sin. See the true and better Adam, come to save the hell-bound man. Christ, the treat and sure fulfillment of the law, in Him we stand. Come behold the wondrous mystery, Christ the Lord upon the tree. In the stead of ruined sinners hangs the Lamb in victory. See the price of our redemption, see the Father’s plan unfold. Bringing many sons to glory; grace unmeasured, love untold. Come behold the wondrous mystery; slain by death, the God of life. But no grave could e’er restrain Him. Praise the Lord, He is alive! What a foretaste of deliverance, how unwavering our hope. What a foretaste of deliverance, how unwavering our hope. “Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery” Words and music by MATT BOSWELL, MATT PAPA and MICHAEL BLEECKER © 2012 Bleecker Publishing (ASCAP) admin. by Michael Bleecker)/ McKinney Music, Inc.

We believe, we believe. In this broken generation, when all is dark, You help us see. There is only one salvation. We believe, we believe. We believe in God, the Father, we believe in Jesus Christ. We believe in the Holy spirit, and He’s given us new life. We believe in the Crucifixion; we believe that He conquered death. We believe in the Resurrection, and He’s coming back again. We believe So, let our faith be more than anthems, greater than the songs we sing. And in our weakness and temptations, we believe, we believe. We believe in God, the Father, we believe in Jesus Christ. We believe in the Holy spirit, and He’s given us new life. We believe in the Crucifixion; we believe that He conquered death. We believe in the Resurrection, and He’s coming back again. Let the lost be found, let the dead be raised. In the here and now let love invade. Let the church live loud. Our God will say we believe, we believe. And the gates of hell will not prevail, for the power of God has torn the veil. Now, we know Your love will never fail. We believe, we believe. We believe in God, the Father, we believe in Jesus Christ. We believe in the Holy spirit, and He’s given us new life. We believe in the Crucifixion; we believe that He conquered death. We believe in the Resurrection, and He’s coming back again. He’s coming back again. He’s coming back again. We believe, we believe. “We Believe” Words and music by MATTHEW HOOPER, RICHIE FIKE and TRAVIS RYAN © Copyright 2013 Abundant Life Ministries UK (PRS) Travis Ryan Music (ASCAP) Integrity Worship Music (ASCAP) Integrity’s Praise!
