Acts 2

I've heard my Pastor, an elder, and our Associate Pastor talk about what they've read in Acts Chapter 2. So, being one who is easily influenced by what others are reading, that's what I chose to read this morning. The verses that struck me were verses 46-47. "They worshipped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved."

As I read that, my eyes kept going back to "They worshipped together at the Temple each day". I've been thinking for the last 3 months about how great it would be to have a revival at our church for a week or two each summer. Nights of worship, prayer, and a message. The worship and prayer would be the majority of the evening and there would be an opportunity to accept Christ each night. Different Pastors from our community would take turns speaking. How rich would that be?

We got a taste of it with the Harvest Prayer & Worship night a few weeks ago. It was too short. I wanted it to go on for much longer.

This is a time to humble ourselves before God, faithfully submitting our hearts to his desires. Casting away all our fears, insecurities, and selfishness. Stripping away the things that hinder us from wholehearted worship of the God that saved us from an eternal hell. We don't even have to wait for a church sponsored evening of prayer and worship. We can do it in our small groups, with our families, even alone. How will you worship your God today?
