Wow! Worship this past weekend was truly special! We were surprised upon arrival at the building to learn that we had no power. That did not hinder our worship though. I am so proud that many of you stuck around for Bible study and worship. It proved to be an opportunity to learn that our worship of God has nothing to do with personal comfort. Peace is found in the presence of God alone, regardless of our present circumstances. In fact, I was a little disappointed when the lights came back on! As we enter week two of our season of focused prayer and fasting, focus on honoring God. Remember that He is the only one worthy of worship. Choose to bring honor to the name of the Lord this week by your actions and attitude. You carry His name with you wherever you go, what an honor and responsibility!
40 Days of Prayer and Fasting
Week Two
Our first week of prayer was powerful indeed! This week, focus your prayer on the name and attributes of God. Thank Him for who He is and what He has done.
