Lee Street Church Notes of on-line meeting held on 21st June 2020 We welcomed about 24 people to our on-line service. Ken began our worship time. Isaiah 40: 28 – 31
The Lord can give you an experience this morning to lift you - enabling you to exchange your weaknesses for His power, so you can run, walk, and keep walking, as you receive His spiritual power. SONG STRENGTH WILL RISE as we wait upon the Lord. You are the everlasting God, Brenton Brown & Ken Riley Copyright © 2005 Thankyou Music Used by Permission CCL3227
Prayer – thanks for such a wonderful God who is there – from the beginning, now, and forever in the future. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever.
Song: Our God – Chris Tomlin Water You turned into wine, opened the eyes of the blind And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us? We praise you God because you are not absent; You do not keep yourself removed, Turning your ear away from us. Instead, you engage, you involve yourself in human history. When we cry out, you hear us, Thank you God that you hear our cry, just as you did when Israel was enslaved. More than that, You act, you intervene, We worship you God. You care enough to come after us, To rescue us when all our hopes are lost. Lord, we cry out to you. You know our struggles, you know how insurmountable they seem Hear our cries our God. Deliver us from the evil that we face. Liberate us from the things that enslave us, Amen.
Sue – reinforced Matt’s prayer, and read the following: “Dismiss the notion that God does not see your struggles. On the contrary, he is fully engaged. He sees the needs of tomorrow, and accordingly uses circumstances to create the tests of today. He has the authority to do so. He is the potter, we are the clay He is the shepherd, we are the sheep. He is the gardener, we are the branches. He is the teacher, we are the students. Trust His training, and you’ll get through”.
Jacqueline Brewell – thanksgiving for being with a group of believers who are praying together and experiencing a spiritual high, knowing that God has them in the palm of his hand. God’s power IS carrying them along!
Chris Cowell shared the following thoughts: Last week someone put a photo of me picking up litter in Tilgate Park, on Spotted:Crawley. All of the comments were encouraging. The one that made me smile said, “Stating the obvious but this amazing lady will be missed when she’s gone. And the litter will start piling up!” Will litter be my legacy? That led me to thinking about encouraging words and everyone associated with Lee Street. I thought about all the positive characteristics and abilities I see in everyone. Here’s a list. I hope you recognise some as applying to you!
We are All one in Christ Jesus and make up part of the body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:27, and Galatians 3:28 Thanks be to God. Paul told us about a short book he has just completed and published through Amazon. It is entitled “Heaven or Hell?”; it is a story based on the account of the two criminals on their crosses in Luke 23: 39 – 43, and the characters’ subsequent encounter with God on the day of judgement. It is aimed at non-believers, and can be accessed via this link: Heaven Or Hell? by Paul Forrest The book is available in paper-back or as a Kindle ebook.
Prayer Time Thanks were given for further freedoms from lock-down, and prayers for healing for a number of members and friends. O Closing Thoughts – Brian
Picking up again on the theme which Ken spoke about at the start of the service, this is an encouragement to us all to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, so we can confidently face up to whatever situations may arise in our lives day by day.
Song: When the road
When the road is rough and steep Fix your eyes upon Jesus He alone has power to keep, Fix your eyes upon Him. Jesus is a gracious friend, One on whom you can depend, He is faithful to the end, Fix your eyes upon Him
