Worship for all

THE 11th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Oh yes, my house of worship will be known as a house of prayer for all people. ~ Isaiah 56:7 (MSG)

Jesus: But the time is coming—it has, in fact, come—when what you’re called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter.

It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. ~ John 4:23 (MSG)

KEY IDEA:
A life lived in pursuit of God's truth is how we approach him in worship.
PRAYER:
Lord, I get so caught up in the little things -- the unimportant matters that seem so important in the moment. I try to seperate out all the people who don't worship right. Help me to embrace all who are pursuing your truth and are empowered by your Spirit -- regardless of labels or worship style. Thank you for accepting me -- even though many would consider my worship to be sub-standard. I'm going to approach others with the same grace with which you approach me. Amen.
