Good morning Church
Many of us have family or friends that live outside of the Niagara Region. Some an hour or two’s drive, others half way around the world. But in spiritual matters, natural borders cause no hindrances.
When we, as the body of Christ, lift our voices in worship, all geographical borders and boundaries disappear…around the globe, and between heaven and earth.
Our worship crosses over into heaven straight to the throne room of God. In fact, it Is the very thing that gives us entrance into His courts! (Ps 100:4). There, as we exalt Him, His manifest goodness is released over every situation, and every circumstance….in every place that it is needed.
Our physical capacity to do good may be limited to a few miles around us, but we have been granted access to a greater power that knows no bounds. Unlocking it is simply a matter of praising the One who holds it.
See you at church!

Good morning Church
If we saw Jesus walk through the doors of our church this morning, and take His place in the front row, would we just stay in our seats? Would we stand in our own row during worship, perhaps clapping our hands? Would we walk up and drop our offering envelope in the basket and then go sit back down?
Or would we storm the altar when He walked in, tripping over each other to be the first ones to greet Him? Would we fall at His feet in worship, thanking Him for all He’s done for us? Would we shout and dance around the sanctuary with excitement over the fact that He chose to visit us today?
Well, if you’re in the second camp, then get ready to shout and dance, because Jesus plans to visit us today! He said so Himself, in Matthew 18:20.
“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."
It’s very likely that there will be at least two or three of us at church today, so Jesus is planning on being in the midst of us. You don’t want to miss it!
See you at church!

Good morning Church
I’ve heard it said, “Never put a period where God puts a comma.”
When the messenger came with news that Lazarus was sick, Jesus responded saying, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God.”
God’s ways of doing things are not the same as our ways and rarely is His timing the timing we would choose. But we can rest assured that His ways are always for our best and for His glory.
Isaiah 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD.”
To everyone’s surprise, Jesus didn’t drop everything and go running to Lazarus’ bedside. If He had, the gospel would likely contain another account of a healing. Instead, He delayed his trip. But with God, delay does not equate to denial. In fact, His delay elevated the situation from a healing to a resurrection.
It’s not over until God is done! But often, there is a gap of time after the comma and before the period. What we do in that gap matters. We can grumble, complain, and wallow in self pity while we prolong the misery by the words of our mouth. OR, we can worship our way right into the provision that God has already prepared for us.
What we do in the gap matters! See you at church.
