Kingdom Life: Who are we worshipping?  

Psalm 96 – an Enthronement Psalm

Worship is often used to describe certain parts of our lives, whether it is our daily devotions, our time at church on Sunday, or our time in the car listening to worship music. Psalm 96 explains the life of a believer in light of the God we worship. With the numerous distractions of our day-to-day life and the multiple directions we are so often pulled, this psalm reminds us to remain fixed on our Savior. With joy the psalmist instructs us to live our lives worshiping, and to let that worship flow into every part of our lives.

 Who we worship, why we worship, how we worship, and the result of worship are necessary questions for us to ask, and Psalm 96 gives clarity to those questions. Jesus speaks to worship that is not locative but rather worship of the Father that is in spirit and truth. Join us this Sunday as we worship and as we grow in our understanding of what it means to be worshipers of our King.

The Wards – Micah, Melissa, Joanna, Lydia, and Ezekiel

The Wards served in Southeast Asia for the past 3 years before being abruptly called back to America due to severe medical issues with their newborn son. Join us for the Sunday School hour to hear more about their life overseas, their love of the lost, and the necessity for every believer to live a life similar to the life of a man named Legion (Mark 5:1-20). From evil-spirit talisman in their attic, to witnessing on the back of motorcycles, to God saving their son’s life, we’ll hear about life amongst a people group that has no indigenous church and about how God is working.

Prayer: Communing With God

The High Priestly Prayer – Part III

In this final message in our series on prayer – we come to the conclusion of Jesus’ high priestly prayer in John 17. Here Jesus prays for you. And what He prays for us – is that for which we long. I don’t know that it has ever been fully realized – at least in our eyes and from our perspective – but it’s necessary and vital to our testimony. He prays for our unity.

Unity and peace have very different meanings from a worldly perspective. They are both relatively passive ideas. They are the absence of something, rather than active participation in something. Jesus prays for the latter. Join us this Sunday as we see what Jesus prays for you!
