The Weekly Liturgy :: Week of 10/8/2023

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 Mark 13:5-13 and Daniel 12:1-4.

Reflect on these passages either individually or with others.

Listen to the Holy Spirit. How is God speaking to you through this passage?

• What about this passage stood out to you?

• Was there anything convicting, encouraging, or confusing to you in this passage? Why?

• How could you truncate this sermon to someone who didn’t hear it?

• Do you see a theme or pattern in the passage that is important?

• What is one thing that will stick with you from the sermon? Why?

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?
