It was great to be together today and share the privilege of lifting up our voices in praise of our great God, who’s revealed his love through the gospelicous work of Christ!

Colin Elliott led us in singing praises to God, and rejoicing in the truth of the gospel.

We sang the following songs together:

• Your Great Name We Praise (Sovereign Grace Music, “Upward: Hymns Project” album)
• Sweetly Broken (Jeremy Riddle, from the “Full Attention” album)
• Now Why This Fear (Sovereign Grace Music, “The Gathering” album)
• Completely Done (Sovereign Grace Music, “Sons & Daughters” album)

This week we continued our new preaching series for the early part of 2012, from the book of Daniel.  You can listen to or download the second sermon of the series, preached by Nathan Smith from Daniel 2:1-49, entitled “Bad Dreams, Good News” from here, or via our iTunes podcast feed.

Here’s the quotes from Sunday’s sermon:

John Goldingay:
“The wistful, sad admission of the Babylonian wise men in verses 10 and 11, that seeks to excuse them, actually exposes them and judges them.”

Sinclair Ferguson:
“The test of our spirituality does not lie only in the fervency of our prayers in times of crisis, but in our wholeheartedness of worship when God acts in grace.  Relief unaccompanied by worship is never an adequate response to the mercies of God.”
