QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the mighty working of his strength.”~Ephesians 1:18-19 “All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”~C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle “A faithful worship leader magnifies the greatness of God in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit by skillfully combining God's Word with music, thereby motivating the gathered church to proclaim the gospel, to cherish God's presence and to live for God's Glory.”~Bob Kauflin, Worship Matters  SERMON PASSAGEEphesians 1:3-14 (ESV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

In this powerful message, Pastor Marcus Mecum dives into the age-old battle for worship, drawing from Daniel 4:20-27 to reveal how pride and worship are in constant opposition. Babylon represents a spirit that seeks to pull us away from true worship and lift ourselves up in pride. Pastor Marcus discusses how Satan must seek permission from God, and how God's intervention comes to humble the prideful. Discover how worship and humility restore sanity and bring us back to God's design, helping us flourish. Join us as we explore how Babylon wants your knee to bow, but only God can lift you up.

One of the most popular features on the Discipleship Ministries website is the ongoing series History of Hymns.

Malachi 4

Malachi 1:5-4:3

Sustaining the glow after Easter Sunday has passed is always a struggle for the local congregation. The Worship Team shares the resources prepared for more of Eastertide and looks forward to another celebration of Pentecost. Last episode we presented the resources for the first three weeks after Easter in a collaboration with members of the United Methodist Creation Justice Movement (See Worship Matters Episode 101). Now we continue with another three weeks with a series called “How Shall We Love.” Central to our Christian witness is the command to love God and love neighbor. But what should that love look like in our own context? Join us as we share these resources. And then let's plan for a grand and glorious Pentecost Sunday, with “These Bones Shall Live,” a weaving of Ezekiel and Acts to tell the story we need to hear today.

It can be tough to try to please everyone. Especially when it comes to highly subjective things, like our taste in music. Especially worship music. Fortunately worship isn't about us or our preferences and tastes. Worship is about God. Next Steps I will come ready to worship God in spirit and truth. I will come early and prepare my heart for worship. I will worship in a way that reflects my heart. The post Why Worship Matters appeared first on Blue Oaks Church - Pleasanton, CA.
