Worship in the Midst of Construction

Construction is in full swing! This is a very exciting time for the church, but I’m sure you’ve all noticed the changes in worship.

Each week there will most likely be a different configuration of musicians on stage. We’re doing our best to be flexible and change things when needed. Our worship team has been amazing with all the changes happening, and I’m so grateful to each of our volunteers and their servant's heart.

I would love it if we could embrace the bareness of worship during this construction period. We aren’t using the drums currently, and I know that can change the way worship sounds or the experience, but I want us to be reminded of WHY we sing in the first place and WHOM we sing to.

We aren’t singing to tell each other how amazing we sound. We are singing because God commands us to.

Colossians 3:16 says,

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”   

We want to be thankful for all of God’s many blessings to us, and one way we can give the honor and praise that he deserves is by singing to him.

Psalms 100 says it best,

“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” 

Every Sunday, we get the chance to freely and openly give praise to our Savior. Let us not take this for granted. Let’s enter into praise each and every day with thankfulness on our tongues and joy in our hearts because we serve a RISEN SAVIOUR!
