“Missions exists because worship doesn’t…Worship, therefore, is the fuel and goal of missions. It’s the goal of missions because in missions we simply aim to bring the nations into the white-hot enjoyment of God’s glory.” – John Piper, Let the Nations Be Glad!
As the people of God, we are called to worship God above all else and to lead others to join us in worshipping him. However, many of us get distracted, and our worship diminishes. We find ourselves busy with church programs, good intentions, and life in general. Because of this we also begin to neglect the call on our lives to bring others to Christ. Our calendars fill up, and other concerns become more pressing. It is time that we put first things first!
The purpose of Community-Wide Worshi
p event is not to reach the lost. But we do pray that it will set the hearts of those that attend on fire so that they will win the lost. The goal of Community-Wide Worship is to unite churches and their members to reach a community. We have invited Justin Falloon, Worship Pastor of FBC Bethalto, to help us achieve that goal, by leading us in song, prayer, and scripture reading. So, join us August 25th at FBC Cabool from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm! Let us
be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. – Ephesians 5:18b-21
