Philippians – Rejoice and Pray

  • Prelude
  • Welcome | Announcements
  • Opening Prayer
  • Call To Worship – 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
      • 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.
      • 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep.
      • 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
      • 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
      • 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
      • 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
  • Reading – [Matthew 6:25-29, 33-34 ESV]
      • 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
      • 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
      • 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
      • 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
      • 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
      • 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
      • 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
