Thursday-- the joy of worship

Prayer: You have given us Your love Lord Jesus, may we share that love with those who need Your love the most this day. Help us to remember the lost and the lonely, with whom are part of Your body. Amen.

Read:  Ephesians  4: 14 – 16

If we just attend Worship each week and don’t do anything else to further our Christian life,  is this enough to be mature Christians?   What else do we need to do to become mature Christians?
Why is it important in each church to have mature Christians?

And we elect these mature Christians to be our Elders... to provide leadership,  to live life as an example for us to follow,  to provide pastoral care to the congregation,  and most importantly to enjoy God forever.

Worship is a lot more than just sitting in a pew on Sunday isn't it.

Prayer:  O Lord our God,  You are always ready to bestow Your good gifts upon us than we are to seek them.  You are always willing to give than we desire or deserve.  Help us so to seek that we may truly find, so to ask that we may joyfully receive, so to knock that the door of Your mercy may be opened for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.  (PCC-USA “The Service for the Lord’s  Day”.  Westminster Press, 1984.  Prayer #5). 

Many blessings!
