Psalms 122:1 KJV
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
This passage could address almost the whole church service experience:
I was glad when they said unto me...
This is the evangelistic outreach. This is the work Christians do before we get to church. It is the work of inviting others to come to church with us.
Jerusalem is builded...
This spoke to me of the organization of the services. We do things in order so we may receive the most good.
Our feet shall stand within thy gates...
This is our commitment to be faithful. We not only come to the house of the Lord, we stand there. There is no question in our hearts. We will be in the house of the Lord.
For there are set thrones of judgment...
This could speak of the Word of God. It is established; infallible and inerrant and it is preached in church.
Pray for....
Christians pray. We pray for souls to be saved. We pray for lives to be changed. We pray that God's Holy Spirit brings peace to the souls of those who come to Him.
For my brethren and companions; sakes...
This is the ministry of encouragement and exhortation we are to have one toward another in church
...I will seek thy good
That may be different for each person. For one man his good would be to get saved. For another it might be a warm handshake. For someone else it could be a warning about a certain sin. It could be to help them with their children, etc. It is our involvement in various ministries at church.
I am glad today is the day we will gather in the house of God
