Livestreaming services is not great. It is what we have for now, but it is not ideal, and I can’t wait for it to be over. The Church is meant to be God’s people gathered together at a particular time and place, having God’s Word spoken into their ears together and joining together songs the grow from the lungs and throats God has given us with which to praise Him.
This weekend, the livestream will mostly consist of what works best at this point, and that will be the spoken sermon, and a few prayers.
The Word of God does not return void, so I continue to preach the Word and cast it on the waters in hopes that some will hear it and find comfort and life by it.
Music, on the other hand is such a part of what we do gathered together, and it is hard to do satisfactorily without the congregation. So instead of trying to do that poorly on the livestream, here are a couple of suggestions of music to listen to for your Holy Week Devotions.
If you would like to add your voice to God’s people singing this weekend, this is a project worthy of your time. Record yourself singing Easter hymns according to their directions, and they will make a video with everyone singing. They did one for Palm Sunday and it was really good!
And if art is your thing, check out this page, and download some coloring sheets for the kids!
God’s richest blessings to everyone this weekend. Let us die to sin and rise to life with Jesus Christ, the first fruits from the dead!
