Worship - May 2019
Church Family,
What a great time this past month has been! We had a great Easter weekend filled with much fellowship and worship. God is moving in our Church, and I am so thankful to be able to experience it with you all. Thank you for singing. One of the greatest aspects of corporate worship is that we get to come together as the Church, and we worship in unity. The reality is that every Sunday, each one of us comes to worship with a different story. Our lives are unique from one another, and we all bear different burdens. My life is telling a different story than your life, and your life is telling a different story than mine.
But the great thing about Corporate Worship is that we all get to bring our stories to the same place, together. We all have a song to sing, and we get to sing that song together. Isaiah 55:1 says, “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy, and eat!.” Remember this week, no matter your story, there’s room for you at the table of God, and my prayer for all of us is that we would, “taste and see that the Lord is good”, as Psalm 34:8 says. We all come to the same place at the cross.
We are all constant worshippers. Every second of our day, we are worshipping something. The unfortunate reality is that sometimes, we bend our worship towards things that aren't meant to be worshipped. Actually, there is nothing on this earth that is meant for our worship. God alone is worthy and deserving our worship, and he deserves all if. Is your story worshipping God? After all, he’s the author of your story. We would be nothing and have nothing without Him.
I encourage you, in your own life, point your story to the Cross, and come and worship with us on Sundays, as we bring our stories to the same place, where we focus on the Cross, and sing in response to what Christ has done for us.
In Christ,
Jared
