For far too long we have allowed there to be a division between the sacred and the secular that God never intended. All of life is sacred. All of life is worship unto our Creator. From making coffee, soothing babies, holding doors, and running slides on a Sunday, to crafting lattes, framing houses, teaching third graders, and folding laundry—all of life and work is an act of worship when done to honor our Creator. Sunday is a launch party into the rest of the week—to offer our bodies as living sacrifices.(1) At our gatherings, worship is not a time to passively observe, worship is going to war against the evil of this world and the idolatry in our hearts. Therefore we sing at the top of our lungs, fight the timidity of our souls, lift our hands in praise, and fall to our knees in surrender—because Jesus is worthy of it all. But our worship continues into our work, our play, our raising of families. How we use our hands, minds, and bodies on Monday declares that Jesus is King just as loudly as our singing does on Sunday. Worship is doing all that we do for the Glory of God.(2) (1) Romans 12:1 (2) Colossians 3:2

These lyrics are straight fire!!! 🔥 God is holy, wonderful, marvelous, glorious, omnipotent, righteous and mighty. He deserves our praise and to be lifted up. We magnify and we glorify Him above all else. We exalt You, we extol You, we adore You. Such a remarkable reminder of who He is and who He says He is to us! This new song blew us out of the water. Comment “HOLY” below and we will send you the link to the song so you can add it to your playlist!

Every human being has, at one point, gazed into the stars and wondered about the meaning of it all. The Bible is God’s compelling, compassionate answer. The human soul gasps for truth. God exhaled Scripture to fill our longing for answers. What a precious jewel Scripture is! It makes visible the invisible God. It pulls back the veil between Heaven and Earth. It divides soul and spirit. We aren’t left to speculation because Scripture is revelation. We aren’t abandoned to conjecture because we’ve received the Holy Scriptures. Therefore we as a church are shaped, formed, led, and surrendered to the Word. The Word is how we know the Gospel. The Word is what guides the Church and transforms its people. The Word is what reveals to us the goodness and glory of Jesus. So every time we gather, we open the Word. Each time we make a decision, it’s in submission to the Word. All that we are is founded upon the flawless, beautiful, and life-giving Word of Jesus.
