sunday worship service

Sunday service here is so saturated in the Spirit! we were encouraged to pursue and seek God for Him. not for the manifestations that come with knowing Him or the gifts, but to seek His face alone. often worship can be about our instruments or our voices, but this morning the Lord reminded us that all it really should be is a response of your heart to the beating of His. your response for what He has done on the cross for you. your response to the blood that was shed on the cross. your response to Him for being alive and sanctified. wow. seeing the lil kids dance down the front was so precious! the message was by a visiting pastor from the south. he spoke about the white garments of righteousness mentioned in the book of revelations. he spoke about how its not just something we are going to have in Heaven, but that we can have those garments of righteousness here on earth too. the destination is set, but the road starts here. let's not wait till we get there to be all that He tells us we can be. we can be that here. today. right now. one thing he emphasized was that Holiness comes at a price. it costs. so true. there is a price that those that follow Christ pay. however, everything lost is nothing in comparison to what is gained, more of Him. like it says in the Word, "for me to live is Christ and to die is gain". really everything fades as Christ increases! Peter made his grand debut with his song (Lord I give my life), written and composed by him, during offering time. here's a snippet of it. enjoy the clip and keep us in prayer! its going to be a longgg and busyyyy week! activities planned are the clinic, school, teaching dance and devotions with college students together with a few spontaneous things here and there...please pray especially that admist all the busyness and prep, we'd be able to have meaningful fellowship with the Lord in our personal devotion times. in order to minister to them, we need to draw from the Living Waters ourselves... many of the congregations here are coming together tmrw night at one place. i'm excited! the Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is going to do some MIGHTY things!
