Good morning Church
John 11:3 tells us that Mary and Martha sent someone to tell Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
In a devotional I read this week, the writer emphasized the fact that the messenger did not say ‘The one who loves You is sick’; He said, ‘The one You love is sick.’ When He heard the cry for help, Jesus responded, not because Lazarus loved Him (although he did), but because He loved Lazarus.
“The power of the prayer does not depend on the one who makes the prayer but on the one who hears the prayer.”
Jesus was – and is – moved by compassion, motivated by love, and holds all the power. So when we come to Him and tell Him that someone He loves is sick, or lonely, or depressed, He hears us and He responds. And all the power of heaven backs Him!
In everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God (Phil 4:6)
...and then Love does the rest.
Lets bring our requests and our thanksgiving this morning, and prepare to be amazed!
See you at church!

Good morning Church
Psalm 113:3 tells us, “From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD's name is to be praised.”
ALL day! Every day. Sun up to sun down. Because we know that when we praise our Heavenly Father, we are enthroning Him above every circumstance and empowering Him to rule over every situation. That’s not just for ourselves.
Amanda mentioned at the ladies meeting that one of her most effective tools to help the nation of Israel is to just praise and worship the Lord. Worship changes the atmosphere.
In Acts 16, when Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, it wasn’t just the two of them who were freed. “All the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.” Their worship changed the atmosphere in that prison and enthroned God above their circumstances. But there was a ripple effect by which everyone in that prison benefited.
From sun up to sun down, our worship opens prison doors, not only for us but for people we don’t even realize are in captivity.
The sun’s up. See you at church!

The Psalmist tells us in Psalm 47:1, “Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!”
Noah Webster’s 1928 Dictionary defines “triumph” as
-Joy or exultation for success
-Among the ancient Romans, a pompous ceremony performed in honor of a victorious general
Verse 2 in the Passion Translation says, “The Lord God Most High is astonishing, awesome beyond words! He’s the formidable and powerful King over all the earth.”
If ever there was a King worthy of our clapping of hands, our shouts, our joy and exultation for His many victories, it’s Jesus - our formidable and powerful King.
Let’s shout to God with our voices of triumph. And there’s no better time and place than Sunday morning at the altar!
See you at church.
