Sunday 5th July 2020 - Peace In The Middle Of Turmoil

2/7/2020

WELCOME 
Welcome To Burnside At Home
And thank you to everyone who is involved in our time of worship today.
Church buildings are now permitted to open for Church Services, but the overwhelming view at the moment (from our congregation) is that it is too soon to start meeting together. Therefore we are going to proceed cautiously and safely, and take our time before resuming Sunday services in our church Building.
With this in mind please be patient as we make plans over the holiday period to reopen. Many of you are still shielding and therefore Burnside At Home will continue over the summer.

Phone Burnside
Phone Burnside continues, where you can listen to the sermon by telephone even if you have no internet access. An exciting addition this week to Phone Burnside is that on Wednesday the complete Bible Study from the previous week will be available to listen to.

BESIDE THE BURN
Remember our Bible Study - Beside The Burn is available HERE.
And it also Appears each week day on the Blog in 5 minute segments.
It is a short easy to listen to thought from a bible verse each day.

Sunday School
This week I am delighted that we have Sunday School once again.
There will still be a Children's Message as part of the service but we also have this 20 minute Sunday School from Campaigners Northern Ireland. You can either allow children to watch on a 2nd screen while you listen to the sermon, but better by far is to watch together and learn the songs and talk about the story. 
Even if you are not of Sunday School age, I know of several adults who have enjoyed going back to Sunday School as last few weeks.  Thanks to Laura at Campaigners for providing this.

WELCOME
Welcome to Burnside At Home,

Thank you for joining with us today

I wonder have you encountered the same problem that I have over lockdown.
I have found that it is very very easy to become negative about everything.
Politicians don’t answer the questions that they are asked at the briefings
Statistics seem to be stretched to suit the point being made.
Social distancing seems to be forgotten at large events,
Social distancing seems to be ignored on the promenade.
Holiday makers suddenly arrive and what was a quiet peaceful little town is bursting at the seams.
And all of this can make us very negative.
We start complaining about everything 
We get worried about more and more
We become negative about everything in life.

It is important that we check this behaviour
And remember that we serve a God of Hope,
A God of Grace
A God who is Sovereign
Who is in control of all things.

And this great God who we will worship today has a great plan for us.
CALL TO WORSHIP
6 Do not be anxious about anything, 
but in everything, by prayer and petition, 
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 
7 And the peace of God, 
which transcends all understanding, 
will guard your hearts 
and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV 1984)

PRAISE

OFFERING

Lord we rejoice in you today
As you have given us Peace,
So we return our worship to you today
And as we worship we give.
We know there is no physical offering plate today
But we thank you that we can still give to you.
Accept our offerings we pray and 
May they be used for your kingdom
BIBLE READING
Luke Millar - Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV 1984)
Thank you to Luke who stood in for his mum at the last minute.
​
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.
9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
