We Have Come to worship...have You?
By Shane Idleman131:00:17MAT 2:1Shane Idleman emphasizes the importance of true worship during the Christmas season, urging the congregation to reflect on their own desire to worship Jesus, just as the wise men and shepherds did. He highlights how the miraculous story of Christ's birth is often taken for granted, and challenges listeners to seek a genuine relationship with God, which requires a strong desire and active searching. Idleman warns against the distractions and anxieties of the world that can hinder worship, and encourages believers to expect God to move in their lives. Ultimately, he calls for a heartfelt response to Jesus, who was born to die for humanity's sins, and reminds the congregation that worship is a gift that builds and restores us.
Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - June 6
By D.L. Moody0JHN 11:21D.L. Moody emphasizes the importance of not limiting God in our prayers, as demonstrated in the conversation between Martha and Jesus regarding the resurrection of her brother. He encourages believers to approach prayer with a heart of worship and to expect God to do unexpected things beyond our understanding. By recognizing God's glory and our position in Christ, we can open ourselves to the vast possibilities of His power and grace. Moody reminds us that our faith should not be constrained by our own beliefs or expectations.
