Singing A "New Song"

During our worship service, the worship ministry team, as well as the congregation, are encouraged to sing out with a spontaneous song to the Lord from the heart. (Psalm 40:3, 96:1, 98:1, 149:1; Revelation 5:9, 14:3)

Praising And Worshipping God In Giving Offerings Of The Firstfruit

"Honor the Lord with your substance and with the firstfruits of all your increase." (Proverbs 3:9)

Psalm 84:2 says, "My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God."

When our heart is hungry, the Bible declares that we will be filled! Every hungry heart will make his way to the throne room! During our times of corporate worship, it is our prayer and our desire to stir in ourselves and in others that great hunger for the living God until every heart is turned to Him! It's not about the music, it is about Him!

We invite you to join in these expressions of worship, but whether or not you do, you are welcome, please be at ease while with us.
