Keller also writes, “…in our mobile, individualistic, therapeutic, technologically-driven culture, we have been more and more disembedded from face-to-face communities.”
This is helpful: "...for many people social media has become a place where they are curating a self." https://t.co/f1qXsl80Lf via @timkellernyc and @gospelinlife
“A child of God keeps two books always by him:
One to write his sins in, so that he may be humble;
The other to write his mercies in, so that he may be thankful."
—Thomas Watson, The Godly Man’s Picture (Carlisle, PA: @BannerofTruth, 1666/1992), 132.
Looks like the weather is holding steady for our first dessert food truck and fellowship time right after Evening Worship. Yay! Service starts at 6:00 p.m.
And this is the work of the Holy Spirit in faith. Hence a man is ready and glad, without compulsion, to do good to everyone, to serve everyone, to suffer everything, in love and praise to God, who has shown him this grace. (2/2)
All services will be held indoors starting this Sunday, May 30, with location changes for the 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. services and updated safety guidelines. To all who are visiting or returning now that COVID restrictions are easing, welcome! Full info here: https://t.co/BFyH90uBlv
“Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 12:28-29
We must not buy the myth that we need to exchange reverence for relevance in worship in order to attract the world.
For there's nothing more relevant than worshiping God with reverence and awe.
Our reverent worship shows the world what we really believe about our God.
Something new to make our time together on the Lord’s Day even sweeter! After Evening Worship (6:00 p.m. service), grab a dessert and stick around for fellowship on the Sanctuary steps and grassy areas in front of the church.
First, by His resurrection He has overcome death, that He might make us partakers of the righteousness which He has obtained for us by His death. Second, by His power we are also now raised up to a new life. – Heidelberg Q/A 45
“And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” —Mark 11: 9-10
Why do Reformed churches have evening services?
This is not a perfect or exhaustive argument by any means, but it is a rationale for why we would observe the pattern of morning and evening worship on the Lord's Day.
