We rejoice to know you

Hi guys…just a quick post to talk about how w need to remember to be joyful during worship. God has blessed us abundantly!

This song written by Drew really captures that joy. Our part of that worship time needs to be focused on the amazing love and mysterious grace that God has poured into us through His son Jesus.

So as we lead worship this week, and every week, let’s focus out thoughts on the things that bring us joy. Here are some of mine:
1. Grace
2. my wife
3. friends
4. a community
5. shelter

What are some of yours?

Theme Verse

Drew picked a theme verse for us to focus on this year as a community. It is Matthew 22:37

And he said to him, ”You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ESV

The He here is Jesus, and this was His response to the teachers of the day when they asked Him what the great commandment in the Law was. We should love God with our whole heat, mind and soul, our everything.  This is easy to say, but how do we do it? What do you do?

Memorize the verse, pray that you can live it each day, and comment on your ideas.

What a savior

I absolutely love the sentiment of this song…it’s one that we just did last night. We need to spend more time pondering God’s majesty, and less time focused on our needs. Praise the Lord!
