The Purpose of Christ

The Purpose of Christ

Colossians 1:21-23


Call to Worship: Psalm 95:1-7 (NIV)

1      Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
              let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
2      Let us come before him with thanksgiving
              and extol him with music and song.

3      For the Lord is the great God,
              the great King above all gods.
4      In his hand are the depths of the earth,
              and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5      The sea is his, for he made it,
              and his hands formed the dry land.

6      Come, let us bow down in worship,
              let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
7      for he is our God
              and we are the people of his pasture,
              the flock under his care.

        Today, if only you would hear his voice…

Scripture Reading: Psalm 116:12-17 (NLT)

12      What can I offer the Lord
              for all he has done for me?
13      I will lift up the cup of salvation
              and praise the Lord’s name for saving me.
14      I will keep my promises to the Lord
              in the presence of all his people.

15      The Lord cares deeply
              when his loved ones die.
16      O Lord, I am your servant;
              yes, I am your servant, born into your household;
              you have freed me from my chains.
17      I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving
              and call on the name of the Lord.
