Christs resurrection? Want to know more? The Case for
Christ starts September 10. Look for details in the upcoming

Our Genesis services utilize an environmental lighting effect

called haze, a theatrical humidifier to thicken the air to enhance
lighting. Both Lee Fellowship Hall and Sanctuary hazers are
water-based and safe.

NOTES
traditional worship

The opening hymn this morning is a very familiar

tune, but the words, based on Psalm 111, are new to us.
In true Reformed tradition, we sing the psalms. Psalm
111 is the first of the Hallel psalms (111-118). These are
known for the frequent use of the word hallelujah.
They were also associated with Passover. They would
have been what Jesus sang in leaving the Upper Room.
In the case of this text setting, notice how we are
encouraged to bring to mind all the good things God
has done through the ages. Again and again in the
Scriptures, God admonishes His people to remember
His acts of goodness and grace. This is a wise practice
because our natural tendency is to remember bad
things rather than good. Focusing on Gods character
and actions in history and in our own lives, is Gods
way of helping us to be formed and shaped in our
walk with Him. Our perspective is being continually
renewed, which is also one of the great benefits of
being in worship with Gods people every week. Were
glad you are here and look forward to seeing you again
next Sunday. God knows very well what we need in
our walk with Him. - Dr. Dan Sharp
