“Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.” John 4:21
Pastor Brandon Wright preached the above passage during revival last week. The theme of the revival was the above title: The Church: A Kingdom of Worshipping Priests & Reigning Kings. We were able to bless him and his family with a Love Offering of $1007. Thank you church family for your financial support, attendance, verbal encourage- ment, and prayer support!
All of his messages were excellent, but I particularly enjoyed when he preached the above passage. He made the point that asking a question like, “Where are we going to worship, this mountain or that one?,” is almost the same as asking, “What musical style shall we worship with?” The real issue is the heart. It has always been the heart, not the location or music style. God wants more than just our actions or singing. Dr. Carson once asked the very pointed question about worshipping God with music. He asked, “Are you worshipping God, or are you worshipping yourself worshipping God?” Dr. Carson cuts us where we need to be cut. All of life is worship, not just what we sing on Sunday morning (1 Cor. 10:31). If we don’t feel something in the morning worship, could it be us? Could it be that we have not worshipped God well all week, and now we don’t feel anything? I think the answer is yes.
Let us remember these truths as we go about worshipping God all week!
