Have It Your Way? Messages

Everybody likes to have things done their way. James Bond likes his martinis shaken not stirred. Similarly I like my coffee black with ten sugars. I'm a real coffee drinker mama!

Life is not about you. Until you understand this you will never be satisfied. Similarly worship services are not about you. It's not about having it your way or being catered to. Worship services are not about having a Mocha Frap in a cup holder while someone entertains you with God's word. It's not about having a game to reach mandatory fun levels.

We understand that we need to teach you about God in an accessible way so that you will be able to learn but do not misunderstand; worship services are about worshipping God.

Have you ever been in lust? When a man worships or is infatuated with a woman (which isn't right) he doesn't let her out of his sight. He goes to be by her side at all times.  He hangs on her every word. He cherishes every little thing he learns of her.

Man naturally knows how to worship. His thoughts of God should not leave his mind.  He goes to where God is moving. He hangs on every word from the mouth of God.  What he learns of God is forever burned into his heart.

Let me give you some reasons to adore God from Romans 5.  He loved you first.  He loves you unconditionally.

Your way or Yahweh*.

* Yahweh is one of God's names in the Bible
