Amazed!!!

We concluded our Worship series on Sunday.

I am always amazed at the POWER of the Word!

We simply shared from the Word in between worshiping and allowed the Word to challenge us.

The altar call at the end was amazing as many folk came forward to receive Jesus' forgiveness.

GOD IS GOOD!!!

Worship


On Sunday we simply allowed Scripture to speak to us a we worshipped in song.

Folks came forward for prayer and we trust that many lives were changed and transformed as they received Jesus(Acts 3:1-10)

I trust that God will transform you as you:

- devote yourself to him
- show Him your devotion
- saturate Him with your all

In Spirit & Truth


On Sunday as part of our series on our core value - Worship, we shared from John 4:19-24.

The foundation of worship is to:
- Show our devotion to God
- Tell Jesus that we Adore Him
- Saturate God with our respect

Jesus encounters a women at the well and she highlights that Jews & Samaritans differ in their understand of where/how God should be worshipped.

He takes the opportunity to point out that:
- True worshippers do not need a 'place'
- Salvation is from the Jews - Himself

So what does this mean?

True worshipers:
- Worship in the assembly (congregation) - Proskuneo
- Are committed to service to others (Romans 12:1) - Latreia

I trust you will worship in Spirit and Truth in 2011!

At North Rand we have decided to spend some time this year on each of our core values.

On Sunday we shared around Worship.

Worship means:
- Adoring God
- Showing our Devotion to God
- Saturating God with our respect

The foundations for us doing this are:

- By Giving thanks & Calling on His name
- Singing His praises & Glorying Him
- Looking & Remembering His goodness and faithfulness

Awesome!!!!
