Heartfelt & Humble Worship

September 27, 2020 • Justin Chaplin

Spoiler alert: It’s not just about music and singing. It’s every feeling, thought, word and deed that can and should be heartfelt and humble worship! To worship Jesus is to hand over everything of ourselves to Him because Jesus handed Himself over to God. Out of reverence and awe for Jesus, we worship.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:1-2

Just Go

October 11, 2020 • Chris Franklin

The centrality of the Gospel community applies not only on our doorstep but to the ends of the Earth. God summons us both to proclaim His excellencies and to be a people for His own possession. It is our responsibility and privilege as Christians to go and be engaged in missions - locally, domestically and internationally. God has commissioned, called, and commanded us, just go! But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

Intimate Prayer

October 4, 2020 • Matt Flores

Nothing significant or lasting can happen apart from God. Intimate prayer is how we align ourselves with God and His ways. Prayer is often only done when one needs something, but that’s not all prayer is intended to be….that’s missing the forest for the tree. Pray like everything depends on God. Pray often, pray together, pray alone, and pray without ceasing. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:18
