Sunday Recap: Just Ask
By
- Yesterday was an awesome day at church! I taught in the 8:30 service. My message was named, “Just Ask.” Have you ever seen those little Valentine’s candies called Sweethearts? You know the ones that have a little message on them and taste awful? They’ve been around for years. They’re kind of like a Valentine’s Day tradition. I’m convinced they were invented by men. First,the message on them is only two words. When it comes to romance, that’s about all mens’ brains can handle at a time.Second, they give men a cheap way out of being romantic. Instead of actually expressing how we feel about our wives or actually asking for a hug, we can give just give our spouse one of these hearts that says it all, haha. It’s just a gllimpse into our nature as humans. We’re not good at asking. Whether it’s asking that girl out for the first time, asking our parents for the car keys, or asking our boss for a raise, most of us are simply not good at asking. If that’s how we’re wired, don’t you think the same thing is true about our relationship with God? I think most of us are simply not good at going to God with the issues that we face. People are fixers. Women want to fix situations by talking/ Men want to physically fix situations. But in our quest to “fix” whatever situation we’re in, that means we often leave God out of the equation. God’s advice to you? JUST ASK. Ask Him to be a part of the situation you’re in. JUST ASK Him to be the solution. Many times we wonder why the situations we’re in never seem to get resolved. Many times the answer is that we’ve been so busy trying to fix the situation ourselves, that we’ve forgotten to ask God to work and move. James 4:2 says, “You do not have, because you do not ask God.” Give God your situation today!
- Our worship team at the 10:55 service absolutely nailed it yesterday. Worship was great! Great leadership, plus they played Happy Day. One of my all-time faves. Thanks for all the time you put in.
- On that subject, make sure you thank our worship leaders next time you see them. They put in A LOT of time preparing for Sundays. They do it because they love God and love you, but it still is a lot of work! We meet for an hour each week to evaluate the past week’s service, pray, and creatively plan for upcoming services. They practice about an hour on Tuesday nights, and then get to church at 6:30 on Sunday mornings to set up and rehearse. Then they usually stay for about 45 minutes to an hour after church to break down. Give them a big hug next time you see them!
- We have some incredible worship services planned for the next two weeks. I can’t wait for you to experience them!
- Many of you have asked about how you can help minister to the people of Haiti. We are working on some things, and as soon as we hear some final notifications, we’ll let you know via email.
