OCEAN VIEW SUNDAY WORSHIP AT HOME

September 6, 2020

WELCOME

Today, we celebrate communion – the day when we remember Christ’s death for our sin. Before we come into God’s presence together this morning, prepare yourself and space for a time of worship and communion—grab your Bibles and turn to Joshua 1, put together pieces of bread or crackers on a plate for you and your family to eat, as well as cups of juice/water to drink during communion. We now come as a people scattered throughout the city worshiping in our homes. Even still we are one people, worshiping the one true God. As you participate in today’s worship, allow yourselves to worship the Lord with joy and thanksgiving.

Call to Worship

Now join in the call to worship by reading aloud together

Psalm 47: 6-8

Leader: Sing praises to God, sing praises;

People: sing praises to our King, sing praises.

Leader: For God is the King of all the earth;

People: sing to him a psalm of praise.

Leader: God reigns over the nations;

People: God is seated on his holy throne.

Sing to the Lord from your heart with joy and thanksgiving!

song - great is thy faithfulness

SONG - o come to the altar

SONG - every move

(Kids help your parents sing this one!)

SCRIPTURE READING

Have one of your family members or take turns reading the Scripture.

“When Scripture speaks, God speaks.”

Joshua 1: 1-8

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. 5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
