Gathering Recap - 01/23/2022 - The Story of God: Numbers (In The Wilderness)

Here is a recap from our gathering on Sunday, January 23rd, 2022

Call to worship:

1 As a deer pants for flowing streams,
    so pants my soul for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God,
    for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my food
    day and night,
while they say to me all the day long,
    “Where is your God?”
These things I remember,
    as I pour out my soul:
how I would go with the throng
    and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
    a multitude keeping festival.

Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation

Psalm 42:1-5

Questions for reflection:

How do God’s people keep His presence central and first in their lives?

What voices are loudest in your life? Do they lead toward hesitation or hurry?

How did Jesus endure the wilderness, and how does He invite us in?

Corporate Prayer:

Our Father in Heaven, We thank you for the promise of your presence. Please prepare us and help us to follow Your Son toward flourishing. Empower us, guide us, and direct us by Your Spirit. Grant us a hunger for your word, a passion for prayer, and a love for people. Let us reflect you well in all that we say and do. For the glory of Christ we pray, amen.
