Enjoying Spring: The Winter is Past

 

Outline of Online Service 13th September 2020

Enjoying Spring: The Winter is Past Song of Sol 2:11

Hymn 106:  God’s Truth Endures

The Lord’s Prayer  (Luke 11:2-4)

Psalm 111: God’s Great Works

Bible Readings:

·       Spring has Arrived!  Song of Solomon 2:8-17

·       Times and Seasons:  Exodus 23:12-22

Feasts for Seasons – Presentation

·       Developing a Relationship with God:  Matt 24:1-3, 15-22

·       Looking Ahead:  Phil 3:13-21

Hymn 125:  God Fills Our Emptiness

·        Metaphorically Winter represents the period of Satan’s reign on earth, and during this season, whilst we have evil within us, nothing good grows!

·        As we enter Spring, again metaphorically, we are starting to be able to understand spiritual things, and the life that God offers

·        As Spring commences we will all have noticed the signs of life, the plants budding and starting to shoot and bloom in the world around us, so too as we start to think about things of God, our minds will start to be renewed

·        God has clearly set an example in the seasons from which we can see how He also works in each of our lives

·        We do not want to still be in Winter (subject to the evil) when Jesus Christ returns, but seek for the evil to have been removed from within our bodies so that we can receive the fulness of life as set out in the Scriptures

·     May God give us a portion of His Spirit to begin to understand, and to believe in Him and start to grow the fruit of obedience to God in our lives

Hymn 6:  The Promised Treasures
