Wednesday Evening Worship Services Starting Oct. 2

Wednesday evening Worship services begin on October 2 at 6:30 p.m.

It will be a shortened service of 30 minutes. It will have prayers, a brief message and audio/video music.

This service is especially meant for our younger families who experience conflicts with Sunday morning Worship due to sports, travel, etc.

Please share this and invite your family and friends to Worship the LORD (Psalm 96:9).

Worship

In Psalm 95 the LORD (Yahweh, formerly translated Jehovah) calls you to come and worship Him. Read the first 7 verses below.

Psalm 95:1 Oh come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also.

5 The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!

7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

Worship is, after all, not directed toward us but toward God. It is this fundamental truth regarding worship that I would like to emphasize: Worship belongs to God. He has called us to this event, which we in turn did not create. The summons is not from us to Him. Instead, He has called us to come before Him, both privately and as a community. Having done so, He also defines what it is that constitutes worship. Many in the biblical story offered “worship” to God, but only God determined whether or not it was true worship. Just because we feel that what we are doing is worship does not make it so.

Worship is directed toward God and not toward the seeker. It is primarily focused upward and not outward. We gather to praise God, to give thanks to Him, to listen to Him, to talk to Him, “singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord, giving thanks to God the Father for everything.” (Eph. 5:19-20 emphasis added) … When the church assembles for worship, may God always remain the object of our praise and adoration … the one whose glory we extol and whose favour we seek.

Worshipping the LORD is the first and fundamental action of every follower of Jesus Christ. So, join us, and bring your family and friends, as we worship the One and Only, True and Eternally Living, LORD God Almighty – the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We seek to do so on Sunday mornings at 10:15 a.m., and now we seek to do so on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m.

Jesus said, John 4:23, “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” May you and yours be “true worshipers.”

May the LORD bless you and keep you … (Numbers 6:24ff);
