Join Coggin Church’s 11 AM service this Sunday for a powerful message on the danger of living a double life. The sermon will focus on the importance of calling on God for deliverance from sin and the transformative power of events like VBS, a church-wide pool party, and youth retreats in the lives of participants. The worship service will include heartfelt songs of gratitude, prayers for salvation and restoration of joy, and a reading from Judges Chapter 3. Come and be inspired to break the cycle of sin and embrace a life of trust in God.
At the 11 AM service of Coggin Church, our discipleship pastor Daniel Attaway will deliver a message in our new series on the book of Judges. This week’s sermon will tackle the topic of a double life as a pretense of worship and the necessity of calling on God for deliverance from sin. We will explore the cautionary tale presented by the book of Judges, highlighting the consequence of doing what is right in our own eyes instead of following the leadership of God. Join us this Sunday to worship, pray, and be challenged to let go of divided loves and embrace the freedom that comes from a life fully surrendered to Christ.
11 AM Service – The Danger of a Double Life
Introduction to the 11 AM Service topic and message
Welcome to the 11 AM service, where today we will be addressing the important and timely topic of “The Danger of a Double Life.” We all know that life can be full of challenges and temptations that can lead us astray from the path of righteousness. But by confronting the dangers of living a double life, we can find strength and guidance to live a life that is pleasing to God. So, grab your Bibles, open your hearts, and let’s dive into this important message together.
Importance of Calling on God for Deliverance from Sin
Sin is something we all struggle with. Whether it’s lying, gossiping, or succumbing to temptation, it’s easy to fall into the trap of leading a double life. But as we explore this topic today, I want to remind you of the importance of calling on God for deliverance from sin. The Bible teaches us that God is faithful and just, and if we confess our sins, He will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). By relying on His strength and seeking His help, we can find the power to overcome the temptations that come our way.
Songs of Gratitude for God’s Grace and Salvation
Before we continue, let’s take a moment to express our gratitude for God’s amazing grace and salvation. Through the gift of Jesus Christ, we have been set free from the chains of sin and given eternal life. So, let’s lift our voices and sing songs of gratitude and praise for the redemption we have found in Him. As we sing, let the lyrics remind you of the incredible love and mercy that God has shown us, and may it stir up in your heart a deep sense of gratitude and awe.

Upcoming Events and Their Transformative Power
VBS
We are excited to announce that our Vacation Bible School (VBS) is just around the corner! VBS provides an incredible opportunity for children to grow in their faith and knowledge of God’s Word in a fun and interactive way. This year’s theme is “Unleash God’s Power,” and we have a series of exciting activities and lessons planned that your children will love. We encourage you to sign up your children and invite their friends as well. Together, let’s unleash God’s power in their lives and help them develop a strong foundation of faith.
Church-wide Pool Party
Mark your calendars for our upcoming church-wide pool party! As we gather together in fellowship, we will have the chance to deepen our relationships and create lasting memories. Whether you’re taking a dip in the pool, playing games, or simply enjoying some delicious food, this event is an opportunity to connect with one another and build a sense of community. We can’t wait to see you there!
Youth Retreats
Our youth ministry is hosting two exciting retreats in the coming months. These retreats are designed to provide our teenagers with a safe and encouraging environment where they can grow in their relationship with God and with one another. Through powerful worship, engaging teaching, and meaningful small group discussions, our desire is to see our youth encounter Jesus in a life-changing way. We encourage you to prayerfully consider sending your teenager to these retreats, as they can be transformative experiences that shape their faith journey.
Prayer for the Success and Impact of Upcoming Events
Let us take a moment to come before the Lord in prayer and lift up the upcoming events in our church. Heavenly Father, we thank you for the opportunities we have to gather as a church family and engage in meaningful activities that draw us closer to you. We pray for the success and impact of our upcoming events, particularly VBS, the church-wide pool party, and the youth retreats. May these events be filled with your presence and bring about life-changing and transformative experiences for everyone involved. We ask for your guidance, protection, and blessing upon each event, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Songs that Magnify and Praise God
As we continue in our service, let us sing songs that magnify and praise God. Our Creator deserves all honor and glory, and through our worship, we have the opportunity to express our love and adoration for Him. So, let your voices be heard, and join in singing these anthems of worship that declare the majesty and greatness of our God. May this time of worship fill you with joy and draw you closer to Him.
Encouragement to Believe in the Gospel and Christ’s Salvation
Now, it’s time to dive into the Word of God and find encouragement to believe in the gospel and Christ’s salvation. It’s easy to get discouraged or lose sight of God’s promises, but the Bible reminds us that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). By placing our faith in Him and accepting His salvation, we can find hope, peace, and the assurance of eternal life. Let the message today remind you of the power and significance of the gospel, and may it rejuvenate your faith and commitment to follow Christ.
Prayer for Salvation and Restoration of Joy
If you have never made a decision to follow Jesus or if you have been struggling with living a double life, I want to encourage you to spend a moment in prayer. The Lord is always ready to welcome those who come to Him with a repentant heart. Simply confess your sins, ask for forgiveness, and invite Jesus to be the Lord of your life. He promises to restore your joy and give you a new beginning (Psalm 51:12). Let us pray together for those who desire salvation and restoration today, believing in God’s faithfulness to answer.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we have explored the dangers of living a double life and the importance of trusting in Jesus for deliverance. Remember, God’s love and grace are always available to us, regardless of our past mistakes or current struggles. By calling on Him, engaging in worship, and immersing ourselves in His Word, we can overcome the challenges that come our way and live a life that brings glory to His name. So, let us go forth from this service with renewed hope, strengthened faith, and a commitment to live in the fullness of God’s grace. May His love guide our steps and transform our lives each and every day.
