As I sat through the service, God began to melt my heart. As we worshiped and the pastor spoke, my eyes began to lift toward God and away from myself. The pastor spoke about Romans chapter 1. He reminded us that mankind was created to worship God and that the essence of sin was elevating the creation above the Creator. At the end of the service, he asked if anyone wanted to become a follower of Christ. Over 35 people came to the front. Another 50 rededicated their lives to God.
I stood there weeping. It's been SO long since I've seen so many people publicly confess Christ. It never gets old. This is what God has called the Body of Christ to do...to seek and save the lost and then to make disciples! I sat there thinking about each of these people and how Jesus would transform their lives. Needless to say, I left that service worshiping God for all he did and I completely forgot about why I was so sad when I got there. What a day!

I stand with you! I wanted to jump up and cheer when Pastor Rob spoke about humanity being created to worship...it made me realize in a clearer way just WHY I feel so "right" when I worship, both in song and in simple gratitude for the multitude of blessings in my life. May we NEVER stop worshiping our Creator!
I was so excited Sunday morning when I heard the sermon... Sitting there praying he would say we were created to worship and he did! It was a great service, a great reminder for us all- not just you my friend! And yes, I was crying as one by one souls stood for Christ all over the room. I was overwhelmed at what I was seeing. It had been too long for me as well and I wanted to shout for joy over it! It gave me a great start to a beautiful Easter.
