“Your presence is heaven to me.”
What a wonderful day to be the church. I loved our time together as we focused on John 16 and Jesus’ promise that joy will come from sorrow. As we worshiped today, I was so moved worshiping with our church family and seeing the authenticity in the room. As a church, we share life together. And so when one hurts, we all hurt.
As our worship service (songs, message, video, prayers, etc.) all focused on finding our joy in Jesus even during hard times, watching those who were hurting worship from the depths is an impacting thing. Even in hard times, Jesus is good.
Today, we worshiped to:
- Overcome – North Side Worship
- Desert Song – Hillsong United
- Your Presence is Heaven – Free Chapel (Israel Houghton and Micah Massey)
- It is Well – North Side Worship
It was such a powerful time together. I love watching the church be the church and minister to one another. The best thing is we don’t have to wait to Sunday to do it again – get connected and encourage your church family today!
Just a reminder – we have Connect tonight at 6 for those interested in joining the church!
