Preparing for Worship Sunday, February 5, 2017

Preaching Passage: Matthew 20:1-34

Sermon Title: How Competition is Wrong (and Right) in the Kingdom of Heaven

Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series on Matthew: The Gospel of the Kingdom. Have you ever felt yourself begrudging God's grace towards others, or wishing that you might be the one to have a great name among others? This week, come see how the abundant grace of Jesus upends our fleshly desire for power, but teaches us that "the last will be first, and the first last" (v.16).

Here are the songs we will sing together:

"Crown Him with Many Crowns" by Bridges, Elvey, & Thring (YouTube)

"10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)" by Myrin & Redman (YouTube)

"Thy Mercy My God" by Stocker & McCracken (YouTube)

"Speak O Lord" by Getty & Townend (YouTube)

"Amazing Grace" by Newton (YouTube)

See you Sunday morning!
