from the Pastor's Pen . .
. .THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE THIS PLACE, ANYWHERE NEAR THIS
PLACE. . . SO THIS MUST BE THE PLACE. . . . . TO
COME AND WORSHIP THE LORD, IN SONG, SPIRIT, AND FELLOWSHIP ! We
At Liggett Baptist Church are so glad every time you come and worship with us. You're a special kind
of people and we're glad that you have
chose to come our way today. We are all
here, hopefully, for one reason and that is to worship our LORD AND SAVIOR
JESUS CHRIST. The miracle of what GOD has done for us should live in our hearts and minds
everyday, because we need to be thankful to GOD for sending HIS SON to die
for us and paying our penalty, our sin debt, and especially we thank HIM for
his wonderful grace.
"ORDER OF
WORSHIP!"
LAST WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT
THE IMPORTANCE OF SUNDAY SCHOOL AND THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING DEDICATED TO IT.
THIS WEEK WE WILL FOCUS ON THE WORSHIP SERVICE ITSELF. WHEN I WAS A
SUPPLY MINISTER FOR THE UPPER CUMBERLAND ASSOCIATION OF BAPTISTS, I WOULD
VISIT MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES BEFORE I BECAME PASTOR OF LIGGETT BAPTIST
CHURCH. EVEN THOUGH ALL THE CHURCHES BELIEVED THE SAME DOCTRINE, EACH
ONE OF THEM HAD A LITTLE DIFFERENT WAY OF CONDUCTING WORSHIP. SOME
CHURCHES HAD A SCHEDULE THAT THEY WENT STRAIGHT TO A TEE ON, AND OTHERS
WOULD BE TOTALLY OPPOSITE. THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF WORSHIP, I
BELIEVE, IS THAT IT ALL GOES TOGETHER (MUSIC, ANNOUNCEMENTS,
FELLOWSHIP, PRAYER, SINGING, PREACHING) AND THAT IS TO PRAISE AND WORSHIP OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST AND TO FOLLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT! WHEN ONE PART IS
ABSENT OR NOT DONE IN SPIRIT, THEN IT CAN AFFECT THE WHOLE WORSHIP SERVICE.
WE LIVE IN A TIME NOW, THAT MANY BELIEVE THAT THE MUSIC IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT PART, OR THAT THE PREACHING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. BUT,
MY FRIENDS, IT ALL GOES HAND IN HAND. I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE MUST BE
PREACHING, FOR WITHOUT PREACHING HOW SHALL THEY HEAR THE WORD OF GOD?
THIS SHOULD ALWAYS BE A STANDARD IN THE ORDER OF WORSHIP. THE WORD OF
GOD MUST BE PRESENTED AND AN INVITATION GIVEN IN ORDER FOR FOLKS TO RESPOND.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERY CHURCH TO HAVE AN ORDER OF WORSHIP, BUT, IT MUST
BE LEAD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD. IF WE FOLLOW THE SPIRIT, THERE MAY
BE SOME SURPRISES FROM TIME TO TIME. NEVER BE TOO ORGANIZED WHEN IT
COMES TO WORSHIP. WHEN WE BECOME TOO ORGANIZED, THEN SOMETIMES WE
ORGANIZE THE LORD RIGHT OUT OF THE CHURCH. PRAISE, WORSHIP,
FELLOWSHIP, SING, PREACH, ALL IN THE SPIRIT AND THEN. ..YOU WILL HAVE ALL
THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS TO THE CORRECT ORDER OF WORSHIP. ISN'T IT
BEAUTIFUL WHEN YOU HEAR A SONG SANG DURING WORSHIP THAT YOU KNOW IS COMING
FROM THE SPIRIT, OR HEAR A TESTIMONY OF WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE IN SOMEONE'S
LIFE? THESE ARE ALL DONE AND SHOULD ALWAYS BE DONE IN THE SPIRIT.
YOU CANNOT PLAN THOSE THINGS. ORDER OF WORSHIP? FOLLOW THE
SPIRIT AND LET EVERYTHING FALL AS IT SHOULD.
IN HIS LOVE,
PASTOR SEAN
