We are in the middle of a series of messages entitled, “Getting Calvary Back on Track.” Yes, I believe we have gotten off track. We have put way too much focus on budgets, buildings, programs and problems. The result is that we have become the focus instead of God. God has given us but one target and that is to glorify Him. Budgets, buildings and programs and problems are a part of our lives, but God never intended them to be the focus. He must be the focus. Everything must run through the filter of the glory of God.

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31)

We know that verse, believe that verse, but do we practice it? Absolutely everything we do, every conversation, every bite, every action, every thought and every move must be focused on representing God in an honoring way. Now the question is, “If the glory of God is our destination then how do we get the train there?” I’m so excited about the next messages I’ll be sharing with you on Sunday morning because those messages answer that question.

This Sunday I’ll be preaching about Gather. Gathering is one of the ways we honor God. It is necessary and biblical. We see the early believers consistently gathering together to honor God through worship. We also see the tendency of some to neglect the gatherings:

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)

So I want to encourage you, not berate you to join us Sunday as we gather together to glorify God through worship.

Grace & Peace,
