A Word From The Pastor
 Your Memory/Reflection Verse for this week...
37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Your people have killed the prophets and have stoned the messengers who were sent to you. I have often wanted to gather your people, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you wouldn’t let me.
Matthew 23:37(CEV page 833)
Receive what is right in front of you…
Greatness is available to us every day. In this last section of Matthew 23 Jesus is grieving over the fact that salvation has been extended to Israel time and time again and they have rejected that salvation over and over. Jesus so desperately wants them to accept with is right in front of them, but He cannot compromise their free will.
Many of us live our lives the way that we want. And as we go about these choices we make for ourselves we try and conduct ourselves in a way that God would be proud. God is certainly glad that we want Him to be proud of the way we live our lives. However, God is much more interested in our doing what He has called us to do than He is in us just doing good things. A sinister or selfish type of holiness is when we selfishly only do what we want to do and justify our selfishness by doing those things in a Godly way. True greatness is found in recognizing what God has laid right in front of you and doing that. You see Jesus has the same posture for you and I that He did at the end of Matthew 23 pleading with us to accept what lays right in front of us time and time again. Jesus wants us to accept true greatness in the way we live our lives and accept what is right in front of us.

 We need your help with worship!
We want to have a group of praise singers each Sunday. The basic idea is we would have two microphones... (1) for melody AND (2) for harmony. You don't even have to be able to sing! Leading worship is more about spirit and enthusiasm than it is about vocal ability. The important thing is to express passion and lead others to authentically worship God. We would like to have 3 or more vocalists on stage every Sunday leading our church family to worship as God said ..."in spirit and truth". So whether you can sing really well, just a little or you can only "make a joyful noise"...come help us!  To be a part of this you can either* Use your What's Up card.
* Email the church or
* Talk with someone on the worship team.
Join us to love The Word and love your church in this way!
