The Weekly Liturgy :: Week of 1/29/2023
Gather - We begin our Liturgy in corporate worship by coming together and acknowledging who God is through the Acclamation. God’s character and presence frames our corporate worship and this is also the way we begin our Weekly Liturgy whether we engage it personally or in a group setting.
How did you experience God’s character and presence this week (joys, struggles, breakthroughs)?
Word - We desire for God’s Word to always be on our minds, upon our lips, and deep in our hearts. We want to read, reflect, listen, and respond to God’s word as we are formed more deeply as disciples of Jesus.
Read Isaiah 40:9-11 and John 10:10-18
Reflect on these passages either individually or with others.
Listen to the Holy Spirit. How is God speaking to you through this passage?
Read John 10:1-18. What stands out to you? Why?
Are you more prone to the way of rebellion or religion? Explain
If you feel comfortable, do you mind sharing a story? What was the end result?
Describe a time when you were fully alive in Christ.
What distinguishing mark of the 'good shepherd' does Jesus repeat three times in verses 11-18? How does this differ from the thief in verse 10?
Where in your walk with Jesus would you like him to give greater life?
Based on John 10:1-18, what is the Holy Spirit saying to you?
Prayer - Spend a few minutes praying into the areas God has spoken to you about. Pray for one another, for the non-believers in your lives, and for the world. (Consider praying through the Lord’s Prayer).
Sending - We are all called and sent out into the world to bring the message of the Gospel. Where are you being sent this week to share Jesus through your actions and words? Is there a specific person or area you need to reach out to or pray for?
