The Lord’s Day – Plans for March 29, 2020

For those following our in-home worship outlines, here is the service for this week. Let us all try and participate together, whether we are with others in our family, or alone. Even alone, you can follow this outline and worship along with the rest of the church family.

Suggested outline for this week:

1. Meet at 10:30 on Sunday morning. Keep your appointment.
2. Go around the family and share personal prayer requests. Especially explore any requests related to what is causing fear at this time.
3. Read the Scripture for today – Luke 8:22–26 and Mark 4:30–41. Either go around and each member read a verse at a time, or choose a family member to read.
4. Listen to or view the pastor’s message HERE if you haven’t done so already.
5. The message this week ends with a song. Sing along. Here are the words:

Master, the tempest is raging!
The billows are tossing high!
The sky is o’ershadowed with blackness,
No shelter or help is nigh:
“Carest Thou not that we perish?”
How canst Thou lie asleep,
When each moment so madly is threat’ning
A grave in the angry deep?

CHORUS – The winds and the waves shall obey Thy will.
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
Peace, be still! Peace, be still!
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea,
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be,
No water can swallow the ship where lies
the Master of ocean and earth and skies;
They all shall sweetly obey Thy will!
Peace! Peace! be still!

Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today.
The depths of my sad heart are troubled.
Oh, waken and save, I pray!
Torrents of sin and of anguish
Sweep o’er my sinking soul,
And I perish! I perish! dear Master.
Oh, hasten and take control!

CHORUS

Master, the terror is over.
The elements sweetly rest.
Earth’s sun in the calm lake is mirrored,
And heaven’s within my breast.
Linger, O blessed Redeemer!
Leave me alone no more,
And with joy I shall make the blest harbor
And rest on the blissful shore.

CHORUS

6. Talk about it. Ask one another how you might apply what was taught. ESPECIALLY ask one another about the questions asked in the closing moments of the message.
7. Somebody close in prayer.
8. Hug one another.
