Online Service 10/05/20
Introduction
Hi everyone! A warm welcome to the CBC online service.
Let’s worship together
Join in the prayer as you listen and sing along…. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28
A song of declaration
Something special this week for our worship. Sarah Price from the CBC worship team sings a terrific gospel song that declares and lifts up God’s name. Why not listen a couple of times through, joining in the second time as you get to know it. Don’t hesitate to go for those harmonies as well!
(Don’t worry Sarah was definitely 2m apart from herself when she was singing!)
Reading
As we continue our series in prayer our reading for today is once again the Lord’s Prayer, this week from Matthew 6:9-13. Click below to watch and listen to it brought to us by one of the CBC home groups.

Questions for you
1. In what ways do the examples that follow help our understanding of yielding?
At a road traffic accident, a motorist performing basic first aid on another motorist gives way to the doctor arriving on the scene.
A wrestler finds himself in an unbearable lock and submits to his opponent.
A young woman gives up her seat on the bus for an elderly gentleman.
An exhausted traveller takes off his heavy rucksack and lies down to rest.
A craftsman selects a branch of yew to fashion a mediaeval bow.
2. Perhaps there is no better summary of yielding in prayer than Romans 12:1, in which Paul commands, "Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God." Carry this thought into your prayers for yourself, for those you love, and for the wider world.
A final song as we yield
For our final song we respond this week with the words of this great hymn that Sam sang for us at Good Friday’s online service. Roger has encouraged us today to yield to God in life and prayer - Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small, love so amazing so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
