After some tasty cherry and pumpkin pie, we sang about how we "want to sing of His love." Tony started us off with Psalm 121:1-2 "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." Here are the questions that we considered in response to a recent Sunday morning message from early January:
1. Do you have a clear mission for your life? If so, what is it?
2. Our church's mission statement starts with "Love God." How do you implement that into your daily life?
3. Are there current obstacles in your way that are affecting your love for God?
We discussed various themes as we elaborated on what God is doing in our lives and how we seek to love Him practically. Those themes were:
-being thankful for friends that pray for us
-being thankful for His word and seeking to make spending time with Him a priority
-knowing that our love for God is weak, and yet striving to love Him more and more
-wanting to please Him with our everyday activities and reactions
-remembering that God is pleased with the fact that we love Him
-wanting to give Him glory as we seek to honor the gospel with our lives
Mark read from Psalm 43 "Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me! For you are the God in whom I take refuge...Send our your light and truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! Than I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God."
