Getting Ready For Sunday: How To Prepare For Sojourn Gathered, December 19, 2010
Last Sunday we entered the third Sunday of Advent, and the second Sunday of our Revelation series. You can hear Pastor Brian’s sermon Return To Jesus here at sojournchurch.com, in the Resource Library. Of course you can always download our sermons from the free Sojourn Church podcast on iTunes.
Last Sunday also featured the first ever baptism at our J-Town campus, pictured here:
Revelation 20:11-15, The judgment of the dead. It starts with a Great White Throne and ends with a Lake of Fire:
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Gripping. Come prepared to hear what God has shared from this passage with our pastor.
Songs we’ll sing together this week include:
- Joy To The World, from our Advent Songs album. Listen to a preview on iTunes
- O Come, O Come Emmanuel, also from Advent Songs, which you can preview on iTunes
- Warrior, from our Over The Grave record. Hear a preview for that one at this iTunes link
See you Sunday. Until then, meditate on this scripture reading, which we’ll recite together:
We are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control. – Phil 3:20-21 NLT
About Bobby Gilles
I think (Jamie’s?) reworking of Joy To The World is so well done. The alternate tune is great. It might actually get you to listen to the words more than the original tune. The original music kind of overwhelms the words.
