Preparing Our Hearts for Sunday Worship

Dear Trinity Baptist Church Family,

As we continue to worship the Lord in our daily lives, I would like to encourage each of us to prepare spiritually and musically for our time of corporate worship this coming Lord’s Day.

This Sunday, October 18, at 9:30 AM, Pastor Mike will begin his new sermon series from 1 Thessalonians. Throughout this week, let us spend time reading and meditating on it.

I also encourage you to read the Scripture passages connected to our worship songs linked below. As we become familiar with the songs and reflect on their biblical truths, may our hearts and minds be better prepared to worship the Lord together.

• 2 Corinthians 12:9–10: “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Dear church family,
Look around us — the season is changing. The trees are putting on their glorious display of color, the air is crisp, and the beauty of God's creation is on full display. Every golden leaf and crimson branch declares the faithfulness of our God. As the psalmist said, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork" (Psalm 19:1). Creation itself is singing His praise — and we get to join in.

As we worship the LORD individually throughout the week, let us also prepare our hearts musically and spiritually for our corporate worship this Sunday. Take some time to read the Scriptures, listen to the songs, and prayerfully prepare to sing together as the body of Christ.

This Sunday, Pastor Mike will continue the sermon series on prayer, through which we have already been richly blessed and encouraged.

This Sunday’s Worship Songs

Hebrews 10:23: "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful."
2 Corinthians 1:20 "For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory."

“I MUST TELL JESUS”
This hymn is essentially a prayer in song—bringing every burden and need directly to Jesus.
Philippians 4:6: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."
1 Peter 5:7: "Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."

John 15:16 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

🎶 Congregational Singing

1 Corinthians 15:57: "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
1 John 5:4: "For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith."

“SAME GOD/I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR”
This medley declares God's unchanging faithfulness and our constant need for Him—a perfect expression of persistent, hourly prayer.
James 1:17
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."

Hebrews 4:16: "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Psalm 86:1: "Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy."

🎶 Song of Response
“MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE”
This hymn is a prayer of faith, looking to Christ for salvation and strength—
Psalm 121:1-2: "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth."
Luke 18:8: "I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

The progression of these songs moves us from God’s promises, to bringing our needs to Him, abiding in Christ, rejoicing in His victory, depending on His unchanging faithfulness, and finally responding in faith.
