Evening Prayer Service

The ordinances are an opportunity to share the gospel. We reserve that an ordinance is a showing of the gospel.

Evangelical once meant gospel, now it is port railed in a different way.

Once a week is not often enough to focus on the gospel. We need to preach the gospel to ourselves EVERYDAY because I will forget it everyday.

Present the gospel to myself everyday possibly through these three steps
Guilt
Grace
Gratitude

"A gospel primer for Christians"  - book

Reasons to rehearse the gospel daily…
I. The gospel prevents and or corrects my thinking that trails are my enemy.
• What is my response to trails? - is my thinking gospel?
• Jesus learned obedience through suffering…. This is the gospel….Christ humbled himself to die on a cross, to come and serve.
• The cross was not an enemy, the cross brought joy to Christ.
• Romans 5 , 8

II. The gospel prevents/corrects my thinking that sin is my friend
• There is felting pleasure in sin
• The gospel turns the light on
• Anything can become a routine - specific scripture, the Lords table, etc

 I NEED TO PRAY UNTIL I PRAY


Do I REALLY pray? How do I REALLY pray?Do I think until my soul sings?
