Worship at Redeemer Church of Dubai

Another great service at Redeemer this morning...

Redeemer meets in a Marriott Hotel Ball Room so it is a very nice setting.  I have really enjoyed the music and the order of worship, which includes a lot of prayer.  

This week we sang a couple of songs that really spoke to me.

Keith Getty & Stuart Townend's Across the Lands has been one of my favorite for a long time...such a great description of Jesus' work in the world.  The last verse and refrain...

   Now you stand before the Father,

   Interceding for your own;

   From each tribe and tongue and nation,

   You are leading sinners home.

   You're the Author of creation;

   You're The Lord of every man;

    And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.

Then a Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend song that is new to me...There is an Everlasting Kindness.  Again, the last verse and refrain...

   How beautiful the feet that carry

   this Gospel of peace

   to the fields of injustice

   and the valleys of need

   To be a voice of hope and healing

    to answer the cries

    of the hungry and helpless

    With the mercy of Christ

   What boundless love, what fathomless grace

   You have shown us O God of compassion

   Each day we live an offering of praise

   As we show to the world your compassion

A great encouragement as we serve....

The sermon today was from Matthew 23:31-46

A great reminder and challenge as we serve...

And the King will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

A good morning, indeed!
