The Head, Heart, & Hands: Easter, April 17th, 2022
Hey Central Hope, it’s Holy Week! This week, we gather to remember and reflect on our Savior Jesus Christ’s death and rejoice in his triumphant resurrection. This is The Weekly Worship, where we will lay out the songs for Easter Sunday and offer a way to worship our God with our Head, Heart, and Hands.
At Central, we believe our daily worship of God should engage the head, heart, and hand. We say this because God has commanded us to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. So each week, we will highlight an upcoming song and reflect on how it engages our minds, soul, and our actions. For Holy Week, we are highlighting how our Great God has loved us with His head, heart, and hands! Our aim in providing this is to help prepare you to participate in the worship of our great God! With our Spotify playlist, you can enjoy these songs throughout your week on your commute to work, in the line at school, or at home!
Here’s the setlist for Easter 2022:
This week, we will reflect on Once For All, written by Shane and Shane in 2016.
“The Son of God gave up his throne, the Lord of all walked among us”
See the way God loves us through his sovereign plan to unite all things in Ephesians 1:7-10, “In him (Jesus) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us in all wisdom and insight, making known to us the mystery of his will, according to His purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.”
“Once for all His perfect love for us displayed”
See the way God loved us through Romans 8:38-39, “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth or anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
“The Lamb was slain for all my sin and shame”
See the way God loves us through his sacrifice in John 1:29, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
Worship God with your full being this Holy Week, reflecting on Hebrews 9:12-14 and 26, “Christ entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to the living God…But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.”
See you Sunday. HE IS RISEN! – Justin
