Sunday's Coming

Good Morning,

Thanks for your prayers; God is answering. We continue to grow each week. We have been asked many times if we are coming back to this park next season and I really don't know. Pray with us for God's direction.

My sermon last week was on Prayer. I said first we should Praise God, adore Him , brag on Him!

Strength through Worship

“But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.” - (John 4:23)

When we worship on earth, we are in tune with what is happening in heaven. The Book of Revelation gives us this description of worship in heaven: “And they sang in a mighty chorus: ‘Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered—to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing’ ” (5:12).

Sometimes we don’t understand why things are the way they are. But when we come and worship, when we hear the Word of God, it helps us gain perspective.

When my wife died on a Sunday, I was in church the following Sunday. People told me my faith was so strong. But actually my faith was weak. I needed help. I needed God’s people. I needed to worship God. I needed to hear a Bible study. When I left the house it was if God was speaking to me and He said “Draw near to me and I will draw near to you.”

And the moment I walked into church, I was surrounded by God’s people. I knew they were praying for me. It helped me gain perspective and see God for who He is and see my problems for what they are. Sometimes we have big problems because we have a small God. But if we have a big God, then we will see, comparatively speaking, that we have small problems.

When we are praising the Lord on earth, we are joining the chorus of heaven. And God is looking for people to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

So whatever you are going through today Praise God and worship Him.


We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and financial. When I am down we receive one of the above from one of you and God reminds me He is still here and that each of you are here with us. So Thank You.
 

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
