Worship

Welcome to the Worship Channel

The Worship Ministry in FBC is one of our foundational ministries simply because we as God’s people are called to worship Him. From worship comes transformation and missions.

2 Cor 3:18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.

Worship is our response to who God is and what He has done for us and we do so in word and deed. Yet for many of us worship remains a lost jewel, often regarded as a perfunctory few songs to warm up the congregation before the sermon.

Worship is Spirit lead when we respond to the Word involving our hearts and minds. Yet it is something we need to take time to learn again how to “delight in Him” (Ps 22:8b). The mission of our worship department is to lead us along this journey of delight and discovery of the beauty and majesty of our God. Tune in to our resources that are provided for your personal worship.

The Worship Channel will comprise of:

  1. Worship songs recorded by our ministry to bless the church.
  2. Worship sets for use in our personal worship where a psalm or bible passage is use to meditate on and worship to be sung along with as well as specific prayers that will ask the Spirit to work within us to be more like Him.
  3. Worship teaching through recorded videos and articles.


Better still, become part of the solution, join our team even if you are not musically gifted. There is video editing, web page administration, scripting and even physical helps in set up. For more information on serving in the worship ministry, please CLICK HERE.

“Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. It is the quickening of the conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of will to his purpose--all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable”

Revelations 5

(ESV) And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. 8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, 10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.” 11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing

Prayer

Thank you for the Lamb who was slain so that we are now a kingdom and priests to God forever. We ask for You to grant to us the certainty of our calling as your priests on earth give us confidence and zeal to reflect the love of Jesus to our community. We might experience His greater sustaining power towards us that was the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him at the right hand of God above all rule. We might have the power to think, act and talk in ways utterly pleasing to Christ.

Psalm 56
(ESV) 1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;
2 my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.
3 When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they injure my cause;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They stir up strife, they lurk;
they watch my steps,
as they have waited for my life.
7 For their crime will they escape?
In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
8 You have kept count of my tossings;
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
in the day when I call.
This I know, that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 I must perform my vows to you, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.

Lord we ask you to teach us

To trust you with our wealth so that we learn generosity and a willingness to share our riches with the poor

To free us from the idolatry of worldly riches and teach us to fix our eyes and hope in you instead

To free us from the burden of the daily cares of our problems and help us learn to lean on you and you alone

To have a spirit of rejoicing in the many blessings of the Lord letting these sustain us and inspire us

(Psalm 92) How Great Are Your Works
A PSALM. A SONG FOR THE SABBATH.
1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
2 to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,
3 to the music of the lute and the harp,
to the melody of the lyre.
4 For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
5 How great are your works, O LORD!
Your thoughts are very deep!
6 The stupid man cannot know;
the fool cannot understand this:
7 that though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
8 but you, O LORD, are on high forever.
9 For behold, your enemies, O LORD,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be scattered.
10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
you have poured over me fresh oil.
11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the house of the LORD;
they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
15 to declare that the LORD is upright;
he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Psalm 18
(ESV) 1 I love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
4 The cords of death encompassed me;
the torrents of destruction assailed me;
5 the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.
(ESV) 25 With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
26 with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
27 For you save a humble people,
but the haughty eyes you bring down.
28 For it is you who light my lamp;
the LORD my God lightens my darkness.
29 For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
30 This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God, but the LORD?
And who is a rock, except our God?—
32 the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless.

who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good

6 The LORD works righteousness

7 He made known his ways to Moses,

8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
