Preparation for Worship
WELCOMETOGRACECOVENANT!
Thank you for joining us today! We are an historic Presbyteriancongregation offering traditional worship and multiple ministriesfor persons of all ages. Please join us following worshipfor fellowship in the Social Room. Thank you for turning off your cell phones, pagers, cameras, and other electronic devicesfor the duration of morning worship.“Faith is transferring your trust from your own efforts to the effortsof Christ. You were relying on other things to make youacceptable, but now you consciously begin relying on what Jesusdid for your acceptance with God. All you need is nothing. If youthink, ‘God owes me something for all my efforts,’ you are still onthe outside
.“
~TimothyKeller,
How Can I Know God?
“
On Sunday morning I sing of my belief in justification by faith(confessional faith), but on Monday morning I still feel the needto prove myself (functional disbelief). Or I may believe I’ll beacquitted on the day of judgment, but still get anxious whenI can’t control my life (functional disbelief). Sanctification is theprogressive narrowing of the gap between confessional faithand functional faith.“
