Something Familiar

What a great weekend we had at Calvary with 30 men singing Nothing But The Blood with great zeal! Days like last Sunday are such a joy to me. It is often difficult to turn the corner and look toward another Sunday, but here we are, looking forward to meeting together once again.

Selah is a wonderful group that has provided the church with many fresh new arrangements of long time beloved songs. This week at Calvary, we are going to use a couple of those songs to help our church worship God. We are going to open the service singing Standing On The Promises Medley. This medley is a combination of three great hymns Standing On The Promises, Leaning On The Everlasting Arms and Are You Washed In The Blood. I know that this medley will very quickly become a favorite at Calvary as it affirms God’s faithfulness with a fresh setting of familiar tunes.

After the offering we will sing Selah’s arrangement of There Is Power In The Blood. This hymn declares that our only hope for cleansing from sin both in eternity and right now is found in the blood of Christ. We will follow this by The Greatest Of All which is a Sovereign Grace song that incorporates a familiar text from Fanny Crosby. This song exults in the finished work of Christ on our behalf. Finally we will sing Wonderful Merciful Savior. This wonderful song of praise is intended to put an exclamation point on our offering of worship to God.

Pastor Paul will be continuing our Journey Through John and preach through the passage about the adulterous woman. We close the service singing I’m Forever Grateful. This chorus will help us express our thanks to Christ for His work on the cross.

As you prepare for worship this week, sing through the songs that we will be using, read through the passage in John 7:53-8:11 and ask God to meet with us as we gather on Sunday.

Soli Deo Gloria,

Trent
