A Great Day of Worship!

December 12th, 2010 at Riverbend Church will go down as a great day of worship. As I looked in the eyes of you in the AM services I sensed many if not most of you “got” the message. I can’t tell you how that feels as a pastor, to look out and see the congregation “get” what is being said.

Then on top of that, to come back and be led to the throne as we were in the PM service, it was awesome. Pastor David and the band did a phenomenal job leading out in worship as they did. And on top of that we took part in the Lord’s Supper. It is always a great time when Riverbend partakes of the Lord’s Supper. Seeing each one come forward and take it is something else. Each time I lead out in it, it means more to me. Remembering the cost of salvation and the death that He died for me almost is overwhelming. He did it for me. He died so that I might live eternally. Eating the bread and drinking the juice is a great reminder of His death and payment for sin.

What a day!

One thought for you as I go. God stated more than once that obedience to His Word was more important than sacrifice. Go wants you and me to obey His Word even more than He wants us to perform some “religious” ritual that we always do. So as we partake of the Lord’s Supper I want to be aware of this and not “just” take it. I want it to mean something and I believe it does, not just for me, but for the whole church family. Thanks for being a part of it @ Riverbend.
