The Weekly Liturgy :: Week of 1/22/2023
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 Ezekiel 34:11-16 and Luke 15:3-7
Reflect on these passages either individually or with others.
Listen to the Holy Spirit. How is God speaking to you through this passage?
Read Ezekiel 34. What stood out to you?
Where are you with Jesus right now? Do you feel him near? Does he seem far away?
The promises of the Good Shepherd are the answer to whatever you are going through. How does this bring you comfort?
What promises of the Good Shepherd can you hold onto right now?
How do you need to be reminded of God’s promises?
What is the Holy Spirit speaking 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?
