Psalms were an integral part of OT worship, and some psalms end with doxologies (a praise formula) or prayers that might have served a concluding role in worship. For example, Psalm 106 ends with:  "Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, 'Amen!' Praise the Lord."

What does God know about you? How do you feel about what he knows? What difference does it make to our lives that he has searched and known us? Today, we look at verse two of the Psalm and God's knowledge of our inner and outer lives.  “You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away.” (Psalm 139:2 NRSV) Notes here: https://www.malcolmcox.org/you-are-a-wonder-psa...

It is a tremendous privilege to lead a congregation in prayer. 20, 50, 200 people are listening to you intercede with God on their behalf. Who is worthy of such a responsibility? Certainly not me, and probably not you. However, leading others in prayer is a worthy activity. How do we do this in a way that honours God, and edifies the congregation?

Do you feel welcomed by being told off? How about by someone confessing their sins? I have seen both done by people doing what is sometimes called "the welcome". On neither occasion did I feel welcomed. In my opinion this is the part of our Sunday services which is least well understood in terms of its purpose. Let's put that right in this episode.

Why do we do what we do on a Sunday? What's the point of welcoming people, public prayer, the Lord's supper, preaching and the other things we do when we are gathered? It's all too easy to do the same old same old because that's the way it's always been done. Today, we begin a multi-part series exploring the reasons why we do what we do at a Sunday gathering. Additionally, we will discuss how thos...
