The following is our call to worship for Sunday, March 21, 2010.
The apostle Paul had one driving ambition. He spelled it out in his letter to the Philippians: “…Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:20-21)
No matter what impossible situations Paul was subject to, he was determined that his life would be a mirror to magnify Jesus. He wanted to introduce the world to the risen Christ who lived in Him. We are gathered together today as mirrors to reflect the grace of Jesus.
You might not be able to see how Jesus could be magnified in your body.
o Our hands can magnify the Lord as we write letters of encouragement.
o Our feet can magnify Him as we go on simple errands of helpfulness.
o Our voices can magnify Him as we give our testimony and sing His praises.
o Our hearts can magnify Him as we express in prayer our love for the redeeming Christ.
o Our ears can magnify Him as we gratefully listen to sermons exalting His grace.
Let us magnify the Lord today with our whole heart, mind, soul, body, and all our strength.
