Scripture reminds us again & again that the “the Lord looks on the heart…” (1 Samuel 16:7). The heart is what matters, is yours in the right place?

Listen
What a great opportunity to stop & listen to the “gentle whisper of God” (1 Kings 19:11-13). Are you listening? Journal your thoughts.

Communion 10:30am

- Prepare & take the elements - Grape Juice & Unleavened bread

- Simple Prayer - Lord Jesus, I bow before you in humility and ask You to examine my heart today. Show me anything that is not pleasing to You. Reveal any secret pride, any unconfessed sin, any rebellion or unforgiveness that may be hindering my relationship with You. I know that I am Your beloved child, having received You into my heart and life and having accepted Your death as penalty for my sinfulness. The price You paid covered me for all time, and my desire is to live for You.  As I take the bread representing Your life that was broken for me, I remember and celebrate Your faithfulness to me and to all who will receive You. I can't begin to fathom the agonizing suffering of Your crucifixion. Yet You took that pain for me. You died for me! Thank You, Jesus. Thank You for Your extravagant love and unmerited favor. Thank You that Your death gave me life—abundant life now, and eternal life forever. As You instructed Your disciples, I, too, receive this bread in remembrance of You.  And in the same way, as I take this cup representing Your blood poured out from a splintered cross, I realize that You were the supreme sacrifice for all my sin: past, present, and future. Because of Your blood shed for me, and Your body broken for me, I can be free from the power and penalty of sin. Thank You for Your victory over death. You took the death that I deserved. You took my punishment. Your pain was indeed my gain. And today I remember and celebrate the precious gift of life You gave me through the blood that You spilled.  Amen

Special Prayer Time - 10:50am
Let’s Pray Together

  • AC Rowland’s dad is a doctor.  He just treated his first positive case of Covid-19 on Friday (3/13).  Although he himself has not tested positive, he has been exposed to the disease and has the potential to treat others who have the disease. Also, his family who lives with him will be around him and this includes AC’s 81 year old grandpa. Your prayers for this family are much appreciated. 
  • The Graceworks organization is facing some real challenges now because of the current pandemic. For safety reasons, their store has been closed, the work force reduced, and the needs tripled.

“Every Word” Bible Study Challenge
As we pursue our mission to “Grow Followers of Jesus Christ” we are constantly looking for ways to encourage/inspire Bible reading & study.  This Spring we are challenging AGCC (as a whole) to read the entire Bible, “every word” before Easter Sunday, April 12th.  Each person can only sign up for one book at a time, and a record of everyone’s progress will be kept on special posters in the foyer at AGCC.  If you complete the book of the Bible you signed up for, you can sign up again.  Sixty six books of the Bible, varying lengths & density. Don’t wait!  Follow the link below & sign up today!
