And if we know the truth of what breaks God's heart in our minds, then we ought to ask the Lord to create a passion and change within our heart to match His own.

Made for Worship (Part 2) – Psalm 57:1-11
What is your natural reaction to when people are attacking you? Most likely your natural human reaction when going through a difficult season is not to praise the Lord. Yet when we read Psalm 57, the author David is in the midst of an enemy pursuing him wishing to kill him! He is in a cave, hiding from the King of Israel, Saul, and the king's armies. Yet in the midst of the cave, David's heart and mind are focused on God and His goodness. Ultimately God received the glory when we choose to focus on Him and trust in His plan and provision for our lives, especially when we are walking through a difficult season of life. We would like to invite you to turn in your own Bible to Psalm 57 as you listen to Pastor Anton share about the importance of praising God even when times are tough. - Jun 3, 2018Made to Worship – Luke 17:1-19
Made to Worship – Luke 17:1-19Have you ever been forcefully removed from your family or friends? Physically separated from their presence because of a terrible ailment or malady? For men, women or children living in the first century, this would have been a terrible reality for those who contract the awful disease known as leprosy. It was a strange and unknown sickness to the people, and thus they would separate that individual from the village and community, even their own spouse and children in hopes of keeping the ailment from spreading to others. In Luke 17, Jesus is called upon by ten men with leprosy for "mercy." They were unclean men because of their ailment, and outside of a miracle, they would probably need to remain in a leprosy camp for the remainder of their lives... Separated from family and friends.
