We are encouraged by Scripture to not depart from the simplicity that is in Christ Jesus. We are encouraged in Psalm 37:5 to "Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass." To commit whatever we are concerned about to the Lord and trust in Him and He is the One that will bring it to pass.
We are living in a day when there is a war happening in our culture. The forces of darkness are clashing with the Kingdom of God. It is time for us, as God's people to represent the Kingdom of God and to speak the truth of God's Word.
How we see or perceive God greatly affects our lives. If I can see God clearly, I will be drawn to Him and I will eventually see myself through His eyes. That is KEY to stepping into our God=given identity.
The Lord's Table, Prayer Time, Announcements and Offering for Sunday September 2023. Various people from the Grace congregation sharing a SOAP (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) from their own personal devotions.
How we perceive God greatly affects our life (Matt 25). He is a Good God who loves us very much. That God is good is a major them of the Bible. When we realize how much He loves us we can rest in that and draw close to Him.
What a privilege it is to worship the Living God. We were created to find our purpose by knowing Him intimately through worship. True worship is a lot more than just singing songs to God. It is expressed through our obedience to Him. The Bible has a lot to say about singing to the Lord a NEW Song. A song of spontaneous praise to Him.
Prayer, testimonies, announcements and offering. One of the most powerful weapons that God has given us for warfare is praise and worship (Psalm 149). The beauty of this weapon is you don't have to focus on the enemy, you focus on the One who deserves our attention. This message includes several stories from the Scriptures that illustrate this powerful truth.
We were created to know and worship our Creator. And PRAISE is actually a weapon that God has given us to do battle with. And the beauty of this kind of spiritual warfare is that we don't focus on the enemy but on the One who is worthy of all of our attention.
We were created to worship God and to glorify Him with our lives. Worship is much more than singing songs to God. Our worship is also expressed through the choices that we make and how we live our lives. This is a message about coming back to the basics of worship and letting God change us from the inside out.
