Worship



What is Worship?

Worship is not the slow song that the choir or praise team sings. Worship is not the amount you place in the offering basket or small group or Bible Study you sign up for or lead. Worship is not volunteering as a greeter or in children's ministry. Yes, these may be acts or expressions of worship, but they do not define what true worship really is.

Worship is defined by the priority we place on who God is in our lives and where God is on our list of priorities. True worship is a matter of the heart expressed through a lifestyle of holiness. If our lifestyle does not express the beauty of holiness through an extravagant or exaggerated love for God, and do not live in extreme or excessive submission to God, then letā€™s make worship a non-negotiable priority in your lives.

We worship God because he is God. Period. 

ā€œWorship Him in the Spirit and in truthā€ (John 4: 24). A whole new world opened up. We can meet God anywhere at any time, enabled by his Spirit, even at work!




ā€œLet the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of lifeā€ (Revelation 22:17). This is what sustains, refreshes, nourishes, and strengthens usā€”this water of life, the only true elixir that will give us eternal worshipping life.


 "Let all creation rejoice before the LORDā€¦ā€ Psalm 96:13a NIV

Be blessed and be a blessing!

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a ā€œgoodā€ Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrectionā€¦is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ļø  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...
