Preparing for Worship
November 16, 2025 www.crossroadswsks.com WHAT TO PRAY THIS WEEK Speaker: Patrick Belshe Pray for those who will lead in worship: Garold Syring-the Worship Ministry team Patrick Belshe 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 2025. 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. Pray that we will pursue lost people as Jesus did (Luke 19:10) Patrick’s sermon this Sunday is entitled: “Scatter the Seeds…Let God do the Growth” using Mark 4:26-29 as his text. 26 And he said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. 27 He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. 28 The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29 But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” Beauty in Worship ‘Be a Temple’ The temple in fulfilling its primary function draws attention to the deity it contains, not to itself! All the splendor, the caretaking, the design, everything about the temple is to draw the onlooker to the indwelling deity. Is that, before God, our position as a temple? God does not share His glory with another. As a temple of God, our appearance, activity, and motivation as an act of worship will draw attention to the hope within u-not to ourselves. This Sunday's Music As we prepare for corporate worship, meditate on the lyrics from some of our songs of worship. Listen to them on our website on ‘preparing for worship’. Pre-worship ‘Build Your Kingdom Here’ ‘Come, Ye Thankful People Come’ ‘Great Is Thy Faithfulness’ ‘I Will Trust My Savior Jesus’ Listen to the songs on our website under the menu heading ‘Preparation for Worship’. Build Your Kingdom Here Come set Your rule and reign in our hearts again. Increase in us, we pray, unveil why we’re made. Come set our hearts ablaze with hope like wildfire in our very souls. Holy spirit, come, invade us now. We are Your church; we need Your Power in us. We seek Your kingdom first. We hunger and we thirst. Refuse to waste our lives, for You’re our joy and prize. To see the captive hearts released, the hurt, the sick, the poor at peace. We lay down our lives for heaven’s cause. We are Your church, we pray, “Revive this earth.” Build Your kingdom here, let the darkness fear. Show Your mighty hand, heal our streets and land. Set Your church on fire, win this nation back. Change the atmosphere, build Your kingdom here, we pray. Unleash Your kingdom’s power, reaching the neat and far. No force of hell can stop Your beauty changing hearts. You made us for much more than this, awake the kingdom seed in us. Fill us with the strength and love of Christ. We are Your church; you are the hope on earth. Build Your kingdom here, let the darkness fear. Show Your mighty hand, heal our streets and land. Set Your church on fire, win this nation back. Change the atmosphere, build Your kingdom here, we pray. Build Your kingdom here, let the darkness fear. Show Your mighty hand, heal our streets and land. Set Your church on fire, win this nation back. Change the atmosphere, build Your kingdom here, we pray. “Build Your Kingdom Here” Words and music by Rend Collective Experiment©2012 Thankyou Music (PRS) (admin.
