Getting Ready For Sunday: How To Prepare For The February 28 Sojourn Gathered

This week, Pastor Daniel Montgomery will teach on singing, clapping, stomping, kneeling, bowing — all about worshiping our great God through music and rhythm. We all know that some people are more expressive than others.  And of course, whole streams of Christianity have developed traditions that are more or less expressive than other traditions.  Culture, history and even real theological differences all play a part in making us more inhibited or demonstrative in worship gatherings.

And while we can all think of gatherings where emotional display trumps everything else, the Bible — and particularly the Psalms — does give us license and even commandments to worship wholeheartedly.  So what should that look like within the Sojourn community, in 2010, here in the Louisville area?

It should be a fun, instructive sermon, and a fitting close to our sermon series on the Psalms.  And you’ll be able to follow along with further devotional thoughts next week, if you choose:

• Either follow along with a short daily devotional from the free Psalms devotional, available at the Info Table on Sunday at Sojourn Gathered
• Or read the same devotions online each day at devo.sojournchurch.com.

Speaking of praise and music, if you have our These Things I Remember album, sing along with “Mourning Into Dancing” this weekend in preparation for singing it together Sunday.  We’ll also worship through the song “King of Glory,” which Chris Tomlin wrote based on Psalm 24.

And as a special advance notice, next week (Sunday, March 7) we’ll begin our A.D. sermon series — an exploration of the entire New Testament, book-by-book, for the rest of 2010.  Pastor Daniel will start with a special month long mini-series on the four Gospels.
