SUNDAY LESSON, 3/2/25
REVISITING OUR MISSION:
CONNECT WITH GOD
Isaiah 6:1-8
As we prepare for our Reach Bean Creek Campaign to share with our neighbors the gospel of Christ and to learn how we can better serve them, I thought it would be good for GCC to REVISIT OUR MISSION. Our Mission is: Connect with God, Grow in Christ, Serve One Another, Reach the Lost. This Sunday we will delve into the first action of our mission: CONNECT WITH GOD by making public worship a vital part of our week.
While in the temple within his official capacity as a prophet, Isaiah finds himself in the very throne room of God. The prophet was able to see beyond the ritualistic form of worship that had become so familiar and mundane, to witness the real focus behind worship—not the ceremonial acts, not the priests, not the worshipper, but God, Himself.
Come join us Sunday as we study once again how worshipping together with our fellow Christians should be a top priority in our lives as followers of Christ. If you haven’t worshipped with your church family (GCC or elsewhere) during the past weeks, months, or even years, will you join us this Sunday as we enter into the very throne room of God bringing praise and glory to Him?
ISAIAH 6:1-8
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
