Join us today as Pastor CJ shares a message titled Better Together: Worshiping Together
* God wants a love relationship with us
* Worship = expressing love to God
6 was to tell God that we love Him
- Singing to Him (Worship)
- It’s a heart thing
- Psalms 147:6
- Make a joyful noise (not necessary in tune)
- Psalms 137
- If you feel like you have lost your song, it is probably time to push in and worship that much harder
- You can worship God wherever you are
- Talking to Him (Prayer)
- One of the key ingredient in a relationship is communication
- It is something you you have to work at all the time
- It is not a take/duty…he wants a relationship
- Psalms 116
- Listening to Him (Prayer too)
- Prayer shouldn’t be one sided
- When you listen to someone you are saying
- “You matter to me”
- “You are important to me”
- “I value what you have to say”
- Prayer should be 50/50 talking/listening
- At any given time there are several radio station that are bouncing through a room, but without a the right equipment you won’t be able to hear them
- God is always speaking but we aren’t always listening
- The devices that we need to use are
- His word (Bible)
- Experiences
- Trials
- Other people
- impressions/inspirations
- John 10
- when you think that God is speaking to you say “Speak, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10)
- Publicly Identifying with Him
- Do you hide your Christianity at home, at work, at the store, or anywhere?
- If Christianity were to become illegal, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
- It is like a guy proposed to his fiance that they keep their marriage a secret from everyone forever
- If you trust God he will prove himself over and over
- Committed to Him
- How much you are present at church, small groups, etc can be an indication of your commitment
- It’s not that you can’t ever miss……….but what is your priority
- Are you committed even when it is not convenient
- Roman 12
- Giving to Him (Stewardship)
- Money is the nearest thing to most peoples hearts
- Your ability to let it go can reveal what is in your heart
- Are you willing to let lose what is most important to you and give it to God
- Giving test your sincerity
