Preparing for corporate worship January 15

“Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth.” Those are the opening words the mysterious priest Melchizedek shared, as recorded in Gen. 14:19, after Abram returned from rescuing his nephew Lot and others from Chedorlaomer and other kings. This Sunday, we will gather to worship that same God – “God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth.” God owns it all. He has made it all. He controls it all. The owner has the right to do what He chooses with what He owns. That includes us. By His grace, He has chosen to provide a Rescuer who has delivered us from captivity. He has purchased a people who belong to Him. We are His people, if we have trusted Him alone to rescue us from sin. We will gather this Sunday to worship this One who has purchased us and will maintain His possession of us forever.
