First thing in worship is prelude, prepares us for worship. In the Bible, there were songs for preparation, "Mary's Song" for one. Several things happen when we sing.

God's kingdom of God is here now, but also not yet. Advent time of preparing. We celebrate His birth & await His second coming.

New Life in Christ requires changes. The Holy Spirit will direct us in our new life.

Stay on God's path for us. Do not allow defiance, doubt distrations or disaster lead you astray.

We never feel like we're doing all we can.

Invite Jesus in your grief. Our faith lets us believe there are no tears, no pain, no suffering in heaven

We can sit at Jesus's feet and feel no judgement.

God desire for man and woman to form a parternship, to have each other's back.

If only...about dissatisfaction...looking at what we do not have instead of only what we do have. 3 important things 1) Lives ruined by dissatisfaction 2)every lesson from past, decisions made allows us to be who we are 3) God always responds

Jesus calls us to serve.
