Love is in the air.

While you worship

Hey Life Church,
I wanted to encourage all of you during this time that we are fasting together to also spend time in worship. You dont have to be able to play the guitar and sing or even put on a cd. Just express what is in your heart! Your gratitude, your joy, your excitement for the coming year and yes even your struggles! You can make it a song by actually singing it out. It may seem crazy at first but im sure David may of thought it was crazy too but look at the book of Psalms. 150 chapters of "songs" being poured out of the hearts of people desperate for God to move in their life and even to save them form their enemy.( real enemies too, with swords!) So dont just limit your time to prayer, worship can be prayer too.
"If you need strength, you give yourself so totally to the Lord and His purposes that the Lord becomes the only One who can give you the supernatural strength you need." Bill Johnson

OK

OK

All right LCF(or to those who actually even read these)! So heres the deal. This Sunday lets come expecting! Not to just see everyone we didnt see on Sunday since we didnt have church but expecting God to move. Not just in our lives but in our community! Lets expect the Holy Ghost to show up, lets expect the unexpected! Lets be excited about coming together to worship our Lord our Savior!! Coming together in a corporate setting to lift up the name of Jesus is something we take for granted. I personally know people in place I cant mention or write their names out because they are in countries where they could be killed for what they are doing. We can shout Jesus from the rooftops if we want. A bible is against the law much less telling some one about Jesus. Conversion means death! Whoa. We have no idea of the freedom we have. Lets use that freedom to worship, to go after him with all our heart!

Why have fun?

I have heard it said before that church is something you just have to endure through. Say what?? That is totally wrong. In no way should it be that. This also shows the heart of a person and where they are with God. If they just want to get through the service then Im pretty sure they use God as someone to just get them by in their life. Our time together should be exciting. What makes you excited? What is it you will jump up and down for or clap your hands maybe even shout out for? I get excited during worship. I want to jump around or jump of things. I like to yell and just get crazy! I dont expect people to be like me and thats ok. I do find it funny when people tell me that they dont really like to worship or they dont think its something to be that excited about. I know this can sound pretty corny but you will be bored in heaven. If your not into big worship times with lots going on then what about heaven. When we come together lets make it a practice run for heaven!!!! Lets do it loud and crazy!

People ask what the songs are so I am going to continue to put them up.
Your love never fails- Chris Quilala
Cannons- Phil Wickham
The Love of God
Lead me to the Cross- Brooke Fraser

Sunday's Songs

We have overcome: Elevation

Cannons: Phil Wickham

Revelation Song: Christ for the Nations

Sweetly Broken: Jeremy Riddle

Your Beautiful: Phil Wickham

If you haven't listened to Phil Wickham I highly recommend getting his music. We really love to play his songs. He is an excellent song writer and musician. I know that I had a lot of fun today. It was a really awesome time of worship. Lets continue to go after God with everything. Lets get crazy about how awesome He is. Just to see what God has brought me out of is enough to be excited about. Lets live a life of worship, not just an 1 1/2 on Sunday. Let us live in constant fellowship!!!

Life Groups... are you CONNECTED?

Hey I just wanted to say that everyone should join a life group! I say this after last nights Life group at our house. It is extremely and I mean extremely important to share life with people. Brandi and I are blessed to have the group of people that we have coming. The small group environment is so crucial to your growth and as we all get to know each other we will continue to open up even more We have people from all different walks of life and at different stages right now. As I said on Sunday that if all your going to do is show up on Sunday morning then whats the point? I know you can just slip in and out and never have to connect but we are a body, we have to work together, we have to grow together. If one leg out grows the rest of our body we will be out of proportion. The same goes with us as a church. If there is a small handful of people growing together and growing in the Lord what is happening to the rest of the body(the church)? After a while we will begin to look funny. GO and check out a Life group! There are so many options out there. LCF wants you to plug in, I want you to plug in, God wants you to plug in. You are missing out on 90% of Life Church if all you do is come for the Sunday worship experience. God is moving in the Life Groups and I dont want you to miss out!!
