Words from Charles Wesley
Great is our redeeming Lord
in power, and truth, and grace;
him, by highest heaven adored,
his Church on earth shall praise.
In the city of our God,
in his holy mount below,
publish, spread his name abroad,
and all his greatness show.
From Singing the Faith 683
Words from Scripture
“What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops.”
Matthew 10:27
Hymn
Come, let us praise the Lord, Singing the Faith 43
As we begin
To consider alone
- What might Jesus mean when he says “What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light”?
- Where have you noticed the Church responding to the hymn’s call to show God’s greatness?
To consider together
- How has this group helped to “publish, spread his name abroad” since it last met? What is there to be celebrated?
As we continue
To consider alone
- Where have you noticed others proclaiming light in their contributions to this meeting?
- What is the light that God is calling you to proclaim in this meeting?
To consider together
- If we take seriously the call to “publish, spread his name abroad, and all his greatness show”, how does that influence our discussions and decisions today?
As we finish
- Where in this meeting have you seen the greatness of “our redeeming Lord / in power, and truth, and grace”?
- How can each member of this group help “all his greatness show” until the next meeting?
