Good morning Church
There is a line in a song that says about our joy, “What the world couldn’t give, it can’t take away.”
Neh 8:10 tells us that “the joy of the Lord is our strength.”
Being in relationship with our heavenly Father is the reason for our joy, and it’s this joy that is the source of our strength. It comes from knowing that God loves us, that He’ll never leave us, and that He’s already secured our victory. This is the joy that is ever present and sustaining us, even in the midst of challenges.
The world may offer us a fleeting taste of happiness – like the odd time the Bills win a football game. :) But it can never give us the joy of the Lord that is our strength. And because that joy comes from having Jesus on the inside of us, the world has no right or capacity to take it away from us.
We have a perfect place to assemble this morning to freely express some of that joy!
See you at church.

There are a lot of voices that try to speak into our lives. But only one deserves our full and undivided attention.
Whether through His written Word, the Word preached, or by the Holy Spirit, God never contradicts Himself. His truth is the truth!
Only God’s Words give life, power, and victory. So why would we ever entertain the voice of another? It’s only His Words that…
-Move mountains
-Break chains
-Open prison doors
-Awaken dry bones
-Roll away stones
-Empty graves
-Resurrect dead things
We need to take hold of every word He says to us like a dog to a bone, as if our lives depend on it…..because they do.
Thank God for His Word!
See you at church!.

On Wednesday evening, in his teaching on being true worshippers, Sean read John 4:24 from the Contemporary English Version…“God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth.”
He went on to say that the way for us to truly worship God is to let the Holy Spirit show us how to worship Him because then our worship will be alive.
John 6:63 tells us “It is the Spirit who gives life.” Therefore, everything to which we invite the Holy Spirit becomes alive, including our worship. Would we want to offer God anything less than our liveliest and most passionate worship? If our worship is apathetic and lifeless, is it even truly worship?
God never shows up for us sluggish or disinterested. Whether together or one on One, let’s look alive for Him in our worship!
