About Worship

Worship is about the love and the power.
Worship is about faith and force,
Worship is about saying what we want to say, and saying what we absolutely must say

When we worship, we sing the same notes we sing the same words, we think the same thoughts, and we even breath in and out together. Worship brings us together in a way that nothing else in this world can.

Worship establishes the kingdom of God here on earth. When we proclaim Jesus as Lord, we tear down every proud power and stronghold that raises itself up against Him.

Worship fills the air with glory, truth and wonder, like a priceless perfume that reminds us what heaven is really like.

In a world that doesn't know, worship says "This is true".
In a world that thinks the hurt will never stop, worship says “there is a healer”.
In a world that thinks hope is gone, worship says "hope is here."

In a world where it’s every man for himself, we sing to the One who left heaven in order to stand beside us.

We worship Jesus because He proved that we could be loved
We worship Jesus because He is The King of Far More than we ever knew existed
We worship Jesus because love leaves us no sane option.

Worship changes things you can’t see into things that you can't miss
Worship changes us into the image of Christ Himself
It takes just one voice to be heard. Think what happens when we all raise our voices
I would sing by myself if I had to, but there is power when we worship together!

Hi Russell,

How happy I was to see a post on your blog today! Actually, today is my birthday and earlier in the week I received some not so wonderful medical "news". But you always have the perfect words at the perfect time. Praise, worship and healiing... It's just that simple when we love God. He works out the rest of the details. Thanks for your post today! (((HUGS!))) Susie Hawthorne

We love you Susie. God is good, and He is in our corner. He never was in a fight he didn't win, although at times you couldn't see how it would happen.

He is the King of the Great Surprise, and he loves you completely. ((HUGS!)) back.
