“Worship from Home”

Sunday, April 19, 2020


Brothers and Sisters; Grace and Peace to you! Welcome to worship from home. I am glad you are able to join me this morning as we bring glory, honour and praise to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus. No matter where you are this morning, what you are wearing, how you are feeling, or what you may be dealing with; know that you are welcome here. Let’s prepare our hearts and minds for worship to our Lord.



Call to Worship: (Psalm 63:1-3)

 “O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.”



Opening Prayer:

Oh Holy Lord, you are worthy of all of our praises. You reign in majesty above us and are our Lord forever. We thank you for allowing us to be graced by your presence today, hallowed be your name. Accept our love and adoration in Jesus’ name. We pray, Father that you will always light our way with your presence. May all people see your glory through us and come to worship you as the living God. This we pray in Jesus’ name, Amen!



Worship in Song:

In whatever way, sitting, standing, listening, meditating or singing, I invite you to join me in some songs of praise this morning. Just click the link and it should bring you to our music this morning. Let’s sing to the Lord.

 

 

Prayers of the People

Gracious God, we offer thanks for this day and for the opportunity to worship you, even in this way online. During this time, may we be able to put aside the concerns of our daily lives, let go of all the things that stir up worries and simply be present here to your Spirit and your words. With all the happenings in our communities, may we remember the words of your psalm: “May we be still and know that you are God.” Lord, we bring to you our concerns for peace in our community and the world. We think of those who are still at work and we pray for their safety. May you protect their families. For those affected in nursing homes, I pray that you would be with the residents and all the care workers. Be with those who have experienced a death at this very trying time and I pray that you would bring only a peace that comes from you. May those affected be assured of your presence today and may they feel your comfort. For those who are feeling overwhelmed and impatient during this time, I pray that you would surround them with your love and remind them that there is hope. We can know this because Jesus is alive and is victorious over death. Through your strength and power, teach us to be still yet again and know that you are God. For those in our church family who is suffering through anxiety, depression, uncertainty, facing illness, I pray that you would comfort them. Thank you, Lord, for being the great comforter. Remind them of your love for them. Jesus paid it all for us, and we thank you for that gift! May we always remember what He did for us. We can have hope, because He is living hope. Thank you for this time we can share with our church family over media. It can be a blessing! May you bless each home today. Bless our hearts and open our eyes, ears and heart to your Word. This we offer in Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

Scripture:

Philippians 2:9-11:

“No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in Him.” For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”

Hymn: “O How He Loves You and Me”

 

 

Devotion: “What’s More Important?”

 

      Here we are…the week after Easter. There are many people who assume that Easter is finished for another year. They had their Easter dinner, they observed the meaning of the holiday (in a different way this year), and stated that it is done! I read a post on Facebook recently that said “Easter is over, now what?” The fact is that it has only just begun. Friends, we serve a Risen Saviour! Just because the ‘holiday’ has passed, the meaning of Jesus’ resurrection has not! Last week, someone asked me “What do you suppose is more important? Christmas or Easter?”  To be honest, all I could say is that they are both important. They are both the most joyful celebrations of the year for Christians. Most churches focuses a great deal on Advent leading to Christmas and Lent leading to Easter.

      I came across a daily bread reflection quite some time ago along the same topic. It said that a woman walked into church on Easter morning and said “Happy Christmas”, and corrected herself by saying “Happy Easter.” Her friend smiled and said “Can’t have one without the other.” At Christmas we celebrate the incarnation (how God took on flesh and came into the world) because the world was in need of a Saviour. John 3:16 explains this is how God loves the world: He gave His Son!

      At Easter, we celebrate that Jesus is not here…He is not dead…. He defeated death in our place. He lives! You see, both of these events were part of God’s great plan from the beginning of time. Jesus was born to die on the cross for our sins and to conquer death so that we could live. Which event is more important? Both are essential and it points us to the love of our Father! Easter is not finished just because the stores have stopped selling chocolates and the date of Easter has passed. Easter continues because we serve a Risen Saviour who has suffered on the cross of Calvary so we could have everlasting fellowship with the Father. These events prove how much God loves us.

      ‘He loves me!’ Say that aloud, believe and trust that promise and spread it to those who are struggling with hope today. Amid the turmoil and storm, know that He lovingly walks beside us and leads us through it all. Jesus is our hope! I read that “Christmas and Easter are two chapters of the same book.” Through both of these celebrations, it points us to His great love for us. Stand firm today knowing that no matter what the world throws at us, Christ is our sure and steady anchor. Not even death could contain Him. In our weakness, rest in His strength. In our hopelessness, rest in His hope. When we are lost, remember His love. He has risen for you and me. Because He lives, we have the hope of eternal life through Jesus’ power over death. Amen.


Let’s lift our voices once more this morning! Brothers and Sisters, remember, no matter what you are going through today, know that Jesus loves you. How Deep is His love, How Vast it is beyond ALL measures, that He would give His only Son, to make a wretch (us) His treasure! Wow…what love.

 

 

 

Benediction:

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

 

 

***God Bless you! Anytime you would like prayer or if you have a prayer request, I am only a phone call or e-mail away. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a blessed Lord’s day, and stay safe. 

– Pastor Stephen Wheaton

“Worship From Home”

Sunday, April 12, 2020
Easter Sunday

Brothers and Sisters; Grace and Peace to you! I want to wish each of you a Happy Easter! Welcome to worship from home. I am glad you are able to join me this morning as we bring glory, honour and praise to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus. No matter where you are this morning, what you are wearing, how you are feeling, or what you may be dealing with; know that you are welcome here. Let’s prepare our hearts and minds for worship to our risen King.

Call to Worship (Responsively proclaim):

  • Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, the Lord has Risen! He has Risen indeed! The Lord has Risen! Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death is your sting? Death has been swallowed up in victory. Christ has Risen indeed! Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord has Risen! He has Risen indeed! Alleluia!

Opening Prayer:

Living God, on this most joyous day we offer our thanks and praise to you; creator of heaven and earth, creator and lover of all humanity. We praise you for Christ Jesus, the Saviour of the world. Born of a human, He shares our life. Eating with sinners, He welcomes us. Leading His followers, He guides us. Dying on the cross, He rescues us. Risen from the dead, He gives new life. We could never be thankful enough for this incredible gift. Accept our praise as we worship you this most holy day, because we have so much to be thankful for. This we offer in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayers of the People

     On this Easter morn we welcome you Jesus into our lives. We welcome your resurrection for it is life changing, life giving and life sustaining. We welcome the hope it brings to our world.  We welcome the joy it brings to our darkness.  We welcome the empty tomb for we know that it means you are not dead, but alive forevermore.

     Lord, may your resurrection give life to those are facing challenges today. Lord, may your resurrection give hope to those who are mired in despair, who feel hopeless, and who have given up all hope. Lord, may your resurrection give joy to those who feel no joy, and to those who have lost their way. This truly is a day to celebrate the glory of the risen Saviour. As we briefly pause, we ask that you would be with those who are still working in our communities who are exposed to the virus. Keep them safe and may you watch over their families. For those who are still working to keep us from going without, I pray that you would bless them with good health and safety. Be with our doctors and nurses and may you also watch over them so they may be able to assist the ill. We give you thanks that you are always with us, because we could never walk this path alone. To you be all glory! Thank you. This we pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.


Scriptures:

 

Matthew 28:1-9:

“Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.”


Philippians 2:9-11:

“Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”


Hymn: “Because He Lives”

 

Devotion: “Jesus is Lord”

 

     Once again, we come to a very important date on the Christian calendar. This being said, it is more than just a date or holiday. It is Easter, a time of celebration. Easter morning has come just the same, but it feels different this year. With the virus shutting down life as we know it, we find ourselves worshiping at home. This does not mean that Easter is canceled. Jesus is still Lord, and He is risen! The words of our text are a shout of praise. They are a triumphant proclamation of what the Father God has done for Christ the Son as a result of the humiliation involved in His incarnation and shameful death on the cross. The apostle declares that because of this faithfulness of God’s unique and only begotten Son, He has been highly exalted to a position of sovereignty over all created things both in heaven and in earth. He declares that every tongue should proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

     Jesus Christ is Lord. What does that mean? Is that just an admiring title that has been given to Him? What are the implications of His being exalted to a position of lordship? The title lord is not as well known in our modern culture today as it was in biblical times. We are more familiar with terms that have a similar meaning, such as king, emperor, dictator, Prime minister, president, and commander in chief. The term lord is basically a title that carries with it the idea of ownership, authority, sovereignty, and power. This means that Jesus Christ has been given this divine authority from God and that every heart should recognize this, every tongue confess it, and every knee bow in acknowledgment of His lordship.

     (1). First, we need to know that Jesus Christ is Lord because of who He is. Jesus, our Saviour is the unique, sinless Son of God. He is the eternal Son who came and clothed Himself in the garment of human flesh. He lived on earth with the limitations of humanity as the eternal God with a human body. He was tempted in all points as we are, yet did not yield to sin. He has been exalted to lordship because of who He is. We hear a lot about this around Christmas, that God came to earth in the form of a little baby because the world was in need of a Saviour. It is all part of God’s greater plan. Will you acknowledge that Jesus is Lord because of who He is?

     (2). Second, Jesus Christ is Lord because of what He did. The eternal Son of God did not hold on to His being equal with God. He humbled himself and clothed Himself in human flesh, and limited Himself in submitting to God the Father. Philippians 2:6-7 tells us that ‘He did not consider equality with God, but He made Himself nothing. He became a servant of people, as we read in verse 7. Our Lord endured the humiliation, shame, and horror of death by crucifixion; the worst death imaginable. The word ‘excruciating’ comes from the word crucifix. Jesus died an excruciating death for you and me. He lived and died in the faith that God would give Him victory over death and the grave. God did raise Him from the cold chambers of death to live again. Hallelujah! It is proclaimed in scripture by the angel: “HE is not here, HE is Risen!”

     (3). Finally, Jesus Christ is Lord because of what He can do. This is Good News! Because He died for our sins, He can offer to us the gift of forgiveness. Will you call out and ask Him to forgive you? You sins have been taken care of on the cross. You are stamped with ‘paid in full!’ Jesus paid it all! As the hymn says: “Sin has left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.” Because our Lord Jesus conquered death and the grave and came forth alive, He can offer to us the gift of eternal life. God showed His love toward mankind because He loves you. Do you not know how much you mean to Him? “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him will never perish, but will have everlasting life” – John 3:16. Jesus came, lived, labored, died, conquered death, and lives forever to lead us to God. He lives and so is able to lead us into the world as servants of God. We do not serve a dead Saviour who lived a long time ago. An empty grave proves our Saviour lives. He is alive forevermore! 

We should recognize His authority over our time and His right to command our talents. That’s a Saviour worth serving.

            As we close this morning, I pray that you find Joy this Easter season. Even with all that is going on, trust in Jesus our risen Lord to help you through this time. I want you all to know that no matter where you are today or what you are dealing with, He loves you. Take time today to rejoice and give thanks for Jesus’ love; the cross of sacrifice; that He arose and lives; and for the free gift of Salvation. In Matthew 28:8, the women went to tell the disciples about the Risen Lord as they had been told! Friends, let’s do as the women did and spread this glorious news!  He is not here, He is Risen. Amen.



Let’s lift our voices once more this morning! He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! Amen? No matter what we are faced with in our futures, know that we walk hand in hand with a risen Saviour. ‘He walks with me, and talks with me along life’s narrow way.’ I hope you will feel blessed by this song.

 

Hymn: "He lives"


 Benediction:

“May the Lord bless and protect you; may the Lord’s face radiate with joy because of you; May He be gracious to you, show you His favour, and give you His peace.” Amen.

(Numbers 6:24-26)

 

 

***God Bless you! From our home to yours, we wish you a safe and Happy Easter!***

Prayers of the People

Great Father God, we come to you today, and we give thanks for who you are. We give you praise and honor for your ways are righteous and true. We give you worship for you are holy and just. We will declare that your love stands firm forever. For your loving-kindness endures forever. Thank you that your ways are far greater than our ways, your thoughts far deeper than our thoughts. Thank you that you had a plan to redeem. Thank you that you make all things new.

As we bow in this moment, keep out eyes fixed on you. May we forget the distractions of everything and focus and rely on your strength. As we think of our brothers and sisters in our church family, may you be with them today. Father, you know who they are and we pray for them. We ask that you meet them where they are, and comfort them in whatever way needed. We take time to also pray for our world. For those who are still working to assist us, may you be with them. Protect them from COVID 19 and protect their families. We pray that the virus be defeated so that life can return to normal. Even though numbers continue to climb, remind us that you are Lord and nothing can change that. We continue to put our hope and trust in you. Thank you for your love, protection, strength and everlasting fellowship. Grant us patience as we continue to follow regulations so we may do our part for our neighbour. No matter what comes our way, we place our hope and trust in you! This we so humbly offer in Jesus’ almighty name, Amen.

 

Scriptures

 

Zechariah 9:9

“Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

 

Matthew 21:1-11

“As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’” The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Song: “Hosanna”



Devotion

 

You have heard this joke before, but I couldn’t resist again! “A little boy was sick on Palm Sunday and stayed home from church with his mother. His father returned from church holding a palm branch. The little boy was curious and asked, “Why do you have that palm branch, dad?” “You see, when Jesus came into town, everyone waved Palm Branches to honor Him, so we got Palm Branches today.” The little boy replied, “Aw Shucks! The one Sunday I miss is the Sunday that Jesus shows up!”

Most of us grew up learning about Palm Sunday. This is a day we read in the gospels, where the whole city had a parade for Jesus. Picture this scene: As King Jesus rode into the city on a donkey; the people threw palm branches in anticipation of His coming. People shouted ‘Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’ What a joyous parade…but here’s the thing! This day is Bittersweet for many people because even as we read of the celebration, we know that Friday is coming- The cross is coming. We know that many in this same crowd will within a few short days exchange words of praise to words of death. They go from shouting ‘Hosanna, Hosanna’ to later shouting ‘Crucify Him, Crucify Him.’

As we take this journey from Jerusalem into Easter, may we remember who Jesus is. He is King of kings, and Lord of lords. When the people shouted “Hosanna!” they were hailing Christ as King. “Hosanna” means “save now,” and though in their own minds they waited for an earthly king, God had a different way in mind of bringing true salvation to all who would trust in Him.

Brothers and Sisters, as we celebrate Palm Sunday, may we be reminded that the reign of Christ is greater than anything we as humans could ever plan. When we were without hope, God had a plan. When we were in darkness; He sent Jesus Christ to be the light of the World, our true light. In this Holy Week, may God direct our thoughts and attention towards what matters most, Jesus Christ our King. When troubles and fears assail, be reminded that He is great and mighty! He is bigger than anything we will face in this world. He is Saviour King. Remember His Words: “And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” Matthew 28:20. Amen.


For our final song, focus on the lyrics as we sing. Make them your prayer this morning. He is King, He is Lord, He is our sure hope. When darkness seems to crowd in, rest in His unchanging grace. Even during these uncertain times. “Wholly Trust in Jesus’ name.”

 

 

 

Benediction

 

May the Lord bless and protect you; may the Lord’s face radiate with joy because of you; May He be gracious to you, show you His favour, and give you His peace.” Amen. (Numbers 6:24-26)

 

 

***God Bless you all! Have a blessed Palm Sunday!***




He Will Hold Me Fast

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."  -- Isaiah 41:10

 

 

Today is a little dull, the sun is not out. The world feels upside down, inside-out, but know that HE is with you! Even when nothing at all makes sense, God's love does! He WILL hold me fast.

“Worship From Home”

Sunday, March 29, 2020


 

Good Morning, and welcome to worship from home. This is a different way to worship together, but nonetheless, let’s prepare our hearts and minds for worship. Maybe you are in your pj’s with a coffee in your hand or maybe you have been ready for the day for a while. Whatever the case, let’s all come together before the Lord. I hope you will be able to worship today in whatever way is comfortable.




Call to Worship

“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.

For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.” – Psalm 100




Opening Prayer

 

 

Dearest Father God, we come to you today with a burning desire to worship you and to lift your name on high. We give you thanks for who you are and what Jesus did for us on the cross. Father, you are worthy of praise and so we come together from home today and we enter into a time of communion with you. Today, we enter with thanksgiving. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

 

 

Worship in Song

 

 

I have included a few links so we could sing together. Our psalm tells us to Shout for Joy. Even in the hard times, when everything is out of the norm, Shout for Joy and worship Him with gladness. We serve a wonderful, loving and everlasting Father. He deserves all praise! Let’s sing to the Lord.

 


Prayers of the People

 

        O Great God, who is like you? We could search heaven and the earth, and find none like you, for you are unique in your pure holiness. We give you thanks for who you are, for your love, your kindness and patience. You are all together lovely and wonderful to me. There is no one else like you.

       

        Lord, As we pause this morning, we quiet our minds from our busy schedules, and set our focus wholly on you. Father, we bring a number of requests to you this morning. In this time of fear for some, may you bring your peace. In the midst of suffering, may you bring restoration. In the time of uncertainty, remind us that this world is not our home.

 

       We think of our world at this present time, and we pray for them. Be with those who are still working. We think of health care workers, doctors and nurses. May you protect them as they do their best to protect and aid us back to health. We pray for Grocery store employees who continue to keep us from going hungry. We pray for truck drivers who constantly keeps at their work so we do not have to go without. For those on the front lines, we pray for their safety. For first responders, pharmacists, Fire fighters, delivery drivers, we pray that you keep them safe as they work.

 

       We pray for our church family, and Lord, you know their situations. We pray for them today and remember each name in our hearts. Be with them and protect them from all harm. We give you thanks for this day. The church building may be closed, but church is not. Where two or three are gathered, you are there. Thank you for your love and protection. All of these things we lift to you, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

 

 

Devotion

 

 

       I recently read a daily bread reflection where a woman taught her child Psalm 23 at the age of ten. The entire Psalm he learned by heart. The entire family was close with the Lord. A short while later, the parents found a lump on their child’s neck. Of course, worry sets in as they began to imagine the worst case scenario. They needed to get a biopsy and the son asked fearfully “Will it be painful? Will I die?” Mom then suggested that he recall Psalm 23, to remind himself that God is the great Shepherd who would always be with him and protect him. Though he did this, it was obvious that he was still frightened, so mom and dad prayed with him. To cut a long story short, the surgery went well and the lump was actually harmless. But in uncertainty, the family was comforted by Psalm 23. Amid their anxiety, God gave them comfort and confidence, reminding them that He is the Good Shepherd, and that He is all we need.

 

     Friends, we are living in a time right now where we need to be home for our safety due to the virus making its way around. Some of us are getting cabin fever, and we are ready for life to return to normal. This all may upset us to know that we cannot go to church, we cannot see friends and family and we cannot even go for a walk in a park. We feel locked away. Amid this trial, know that the Lord is the good Shepherd. When worry strikes, remember that the Lord is your shepherd. He is bigger than anything we could ever face. In uncertainty, we know that we have a mighty God who can bring us through trials. Remember His promise: “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:20. Trust in Him and know that He is with you today and always. Amen.

 

 

Join me in song once again:

 

Benediction

 

 

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” – Romans 15:13.
 
Lord Bless you all, Have a wonderful Sabbath Day!
 
 
 Blessings,
 Pastor Stephen.
