Kingly Worship

Sunday November 20th was "Christ the King Sunday" which is the last Sunday of the Church Calendar year.  All the text and hymns and songs lead us in high praise of the King of King.  This year we reflected on what it meant to "bow" before our King.   If you would like to hear a recording of the sermon, you can listen online if you go the our church website (www.NewWineMission.com).

The Spirit has blessed us of late with good worship as we sing and speak forth our praise to King Jesus.  Have you ever attended a service and just thought:  "Wow, the Lord is here!"  This is how I felt Sunday.   Jesus taught us that He is with us when "two or three are gathered together".   I thank the Lord for the faithful who gather our small meeting room built behind a old house near downtown Flint.  It may not be where many people would expect to feel the Lord's presence.  There are no stained glass windows.   There are no golden chalices or high vaulted ceilings  (not that in and of themselves these things are bad or do not point people towards worshiping the Lord).  But what I sense is what we lack in "surroundings" the Lord has blessed our small gathering with people who truely worship Him because He has touched our lives.  The phrase "Authentic Kingly Worship" comes to my mind.  Thus together and individually we bow our heart before the Lord in humility, submission and awe and it is good.

We are praying that more people will find their way to our fellowship and join us as we worship the King!  Next week we begin our preparation for celebrating the anniversary of Lord's birth and think on our preparations for His return.  Come join us for the First Sunday of Advent  at 10:30 a.m.  at 727 East Street, Flint.
