It’s Mother’s Day weekend and you will not want to miss our worship services tomorrow as we will be hearing from Noel Owuor as he opens up God’s word for a special Mother’s Day message. We will also be honoring the moms in our life, so you will not want to miss this special weekend. I am also excited for our time of worship tomorrow, because…. Continue reading
The best worship songs, at their core, are really just prayers. Yesterday, we took part in a National Day of Prayer so I think it’s appropriate we all remind ourselves that when we sing on Sunday morning, we are really singing our prayers. It’s also good to challenge ourselves and ask this hard question: Am I really singing and praying with conviction and expectancy or has an unremarkable routine crept in? Continue reading
This week, I’d like to encourage all of us to arrive at church for worship a couple minutes early. The worship team is excited to start our time of worship 5 minutes early during our normal countdown, and I think this is a great opportunity to spend some extra time in God’s presence. Continue reading
Last week we began to look at Romans 12:1-2 and discussed how worship is the catalyst for God to begin change in our lives. It leads to a renewing of our mind. This week, let’s go a little further into this passage and discover how this change helps us in our journey through life…. Continue reading
As I write this, I am thinking back on the last 10 years of my life and all the major life events I have gone through and big decisions I have had to make. This year I am turning 30, and I am reminded of all that a person is confronted with in our culture through their 20s. It’s crazy how much stuff happens! In an increasingly godless culture, one often asks how we are to live and what God would have us do with our lives. There is a lot of Scripture that address these questions. We are going to focus on one passage over the next two weeks. Continue reading
We have all read about the glory of God in Scripture. Psalm 19:1 says “The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky displays his handiwork.” Exodus 15:11 “Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like you?—majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, working wonders?” It’s easy to picture the glory of God in the physical sense of miracles, awesome displays of nature’s power and agape love. In worship, we often sing about giving glory TO God. Can God’s glory be added to? Obviously not, but what does it mean for us to give glory TO God as Scripture instructs us to? Continue reading
At Powerhouse, we value our time of worship on Sunday morning as it is a joyful celebration of God in our lives. Even in life’s difficult times, His presence and faithfulness is something to be excited about. There are times, however, when being a little more reverent before God is appropriate. Good Friday is one of those moments. Continue reading
Do you ever feel that a few songs on Sunday morning just isn’t enough worship for you? Then you need to come out for an exciting hour of worship this Sunday, March 3rd at 7pm!!! Continue reading
Next Sunday, on March 3rd, there is an awesome opportunity to engage in an extended time of worship outside of Powerhouse’s normal Sunday morning services. Our Sunday morning and youth bands are combining to bring powerful music before the Lord and you will be blessed to be a part of it. But don’t come just because it will be awesome (because it will be!)….come because of what we read in Scripture… Continue reading
Worshiping God goes way beyond simply singing songs on a Sunday morning. Our culture, almost exclusively, defines “worship” as that time of music that we begin each service with. Yes, this is definitely a piece of our worship, but what we find in Scripture takes it beyond simple words and melody. Worship is that plus a whole lot more. Continue reading
