Sermon for Sunday, June 13, 2010
“Blessed With A Burden”
Many people pray, “God, please bless me.” And God wants to bless you. But the blessings of God are often more than a new car, a bigger salary, and a better lifestyle. In the series, “Blessed,” we are experiencing firsthand some of God's unusual blessings. Today, we will ask with is it the concerns you the most? What is the one issue that seems to concern you more than anyone else? It is likely that whatever frustrates you the most is the area where God is calling you. It is a blessing to be burdened. We are blessed when God calls our attention to something that consumes us and drives us. His calling to do something about it is what makes life full of purpose.

VBS WEEK!!! This truly is one of my favorite events of the year, and it all kicks off Sunday night. You will notice that our stage (and building) will look a little different this Sunday, so be prepared :) Before we kick off VBS though, I am also very excited to continue our new series during worship on Sunday morning. This week we continue our series “Blessed” as Bro. Todd will be talking about being Blessed with a Burden. Our music this week deals with what should be our first consuming drive, and that is to worship and honor our God.
We open with a brand new song to Oasis entitled “Bless Your Name” which proclaims our number one priority as we come together, “We have come to worship the mighty God”. This song is not meant to be sung quietly, so take time to familiarize yourself with it prior to Sunday so that we can sing it out.
We move on to some familiar territory with “You’re Worthy of My Praise”, and a song that we have been worshipping with over the past couple of weeks “Forever Reign”. Both songs deal with the fact that God is far greater than we can even comprehend. He truly is worthy of our praise and so much more.
We finish with “From the Inside Out” by Hillsong. What better way to worship but to give control of ourselves to our maker to consume us from the inside out. Be sure to take time to listen to all of the songs in the list above as we prepare for our time of worship together on Sunday. I am really looking forward to worshipping with you.
