Sermon Notes:

The vision of the church is “a place of refreshing & restored hope”.

How do we get there but by mission:

• By attending our service and experiencing the liberty in our worship

  • Brings refreshing

  • By our passion for making disciples (Home Bible studies, Discipleship 101)

  • Brings restored hope

  • By connection – fellowship (connecting small groups, serving in a ministry)

  • Brings a maturity

Worship: 5 Powerful Effects of Worship

• Worship clarifies my vision of who God is. The prophet Isaiah saw the Lord as high, exalted, and holy. Isaiah 6:1-3 We get a glimpse of his holiness and greatness in the Bible.
• It changes my perspective. Isaiah realized and confessed his unclean nature. God then cleansed him and emboldened Isaiah to go speak. He gained a new perspective, going from cautious to courageous. Isaiah 6:4-8.
• It strengthens my heart. Psalm 103:1-5 recounts benefits and blessings from God—forgiveness, healing, redemption, and renewal—which leads to praising God’s holy name.
• It reassures me of God’s presence when I am down. Psalm 73:23-26
• Adoration produces joy. Psalm 16:11
