This week in the Power of Worship 5, we are talking about how being a worshipper makes you attractive. There are several examples in scripture where God Himself is attracted to worshippers- even puts Himself in the middle of it when it happens!
Crowds gather when people worship. People come to watch, they come to experience, and they come to participate. Worship makes you incredibly attractive to the people around you. It's an often overlooked element of usefulness that God gave His people!
On Saturday nights...
Something very cool is happening to our Saturday services! Our numbers are growing, and real passion is coming. The lines for the meal are long, and lots of kids are happily playing in the bounce house. Kid's Ministries seem superb, and the preaching- well it's usually better than it was tonight.I didn't feel like I did that well tonight. Hoefully tomrrow I can do better.
The best services for me so far this weekend, were the 24 hours prayer vigil that started Friday adn ended this morning. Those hours were the most awesome time I have had in the presence of God for some time. I was there at various times, and enjoyed every minute of it. Jeremiah and Charity really create an atmostphere where God shows Himself. What a pleasure it is to enjoy the presence of God like that!
Hey, thanks for the encouraging words about this weekend! I love having a pastor who loves to pray so much! By the way (and I meant to tell you this earlier), we counted up the attendance, and we had about 100 people total throughout the night! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gerry for letting me be a part of your team and getting to see our Saturday night service grow. The kids ministry alone on saturday night had 68 people. I mean there are only like 12-15 adults back there so its mostly all kids.
ReplyDeleteIts a true honor to be part of that service and to minister to each child week in and week out.
