The Lord’s Day gathering should be one of the things we as Christians look forward to most throughout the week. It is the day when the people of God come together to encourage and challenge one another, to worship God through singing, Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and the proclamation of His Word. It is a day for our minds to be renewed by His truth, for our hearts to be reminded again of the gospel of grace, and for the church to partake together of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.
The gathering of the church is one of the ordinary means of grace God has appointed for the strengthening, nourishing, and maturing of His people. Because of that, we should not approach the Lord’s Day casually. Sunday morning should not be something we haphazardly wake up for and then decide whether or not we are going to attend, or even attending but doing so in a way that is not intentional. It is something we should prepare ourselves for.
In many ways, that preparation should take place throughout the entire week, but especially on Saturday evening. That may mean saying no to staying out late, putting away distractions earlier than usual, getting the children ready beforehand, or spending some time in prayer and Scripture before going to bed. Not because there is anything meritorious in doing those things, but because we recognize the weight and privilege of what awaits us.
Tomorrow, the saints gather. The Word will be opened. The gospel will be proclaimed. The church will sing. We will pray, fellowship, and come together to the Table. So spend the evening preparing your heart to worship God with His gathered people, the church.
The Lord’s Day Gathering — 10 AM
Everyone is welcome.
