Sunday Sermon - Worship

An extended Sunday Sermon edition of Wilderness Wanderings!  The texts come from Matthew 14:22-36, from the New International Version of the Bible.  Dive In discussion questions are below for further reflection!  To see this sermon in the context of the worship service it comes from, find it here on YouTube.  Or, head to our website to connect with the worshiping community of Immanuel CRC: immanuelministries.ca    DIVE IN QUESTIONS 1. What stands out to you from hearing these verses?  Is God offering an invitation or a challenge to you through those words?  Take time to pray about it. 2. In what way is Matthew, the Gospel writer, like a great musical composer?  What is Matthew's "theme?" 3. How do you see the story of Jesus' death and resurrection echoing in the story of Matthew 14? 4. Where does our/your attention most naturally go?  Where does the spiritual discipline of Worship focus our attention?  How often do you/we need your/our attention re-focused in this way? 5. How does worship focus our attention on God and his story of salvation in Jesus?  How do you see the story of Jesus' death and resurrection echoing in our worship services?  6. Does Sunday have to be the only day to worship/attend to God?  When/where/how else might you practice the discipline of worship?
