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

1. 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
2. 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
3. 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)
4. 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
5. 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
6. 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

Join us today as Pastor CJ and Jen share the Christmas story.

 

Join us today as Seth and Lisa Louton from Asia Pacific Media Ministry shares the message.

Key Scripture:
John 9

1. Are we asking the right Question
   • when we see bad in the world what question are we asking
   • Ask “How can the work of God be done in/through this?”
   • What can I do?  How can I help?
2. Are we hung up on the Method vs miracle
   • do we get hung up on him spitting in the dirt and putting it on his eyes
   • instead focus on the fact that he was healed
3. Tell your story
   • When we have an encounter with God we will come back looking different
   • ALL of our stories as christian start with “The man named Jesus”
   • no one can ever take our story away
4. We have to make the right choice
   • First choice is to follow Jesus
   • What type of Christian will you be
   • What are you going to do about missions

Call to action

Key Scripture:
