JUNE 30 Why I love worshipping at Covenant

JUDGES 7: 1-23  18When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you also blow the trumpets around the whole camp, and shout, “For the Lord and for Gideon!” 


I love worshipping at Covenant.  The first song is finished, and a child’s voice rings out “A- Men!”.

I love how the kids RUN to the Children's Ministry; The Junction. 

I love singing the songs from the worship service all week long in my head- pushing away the pop tunes that I normally favor.

I love that I have so much to think about from the sermon.  Every week in this new series “Victorious”, Rev. Jason explains and connects what God’s victories are.  This past week’s text was about Gideon and his 300 men who win a decisive battle against the Midianites. These men are brave, courageous, even considered reckless.  God tells Gideon that they will give the glory of winning to God, and so they are the chosen few who will stay and do battle against the huge forces of the other army.  Also part of the victory comes from the vision that a Midianite has, where he describes how their army will lose.  And the final part of the victory is that there are no detailed, step-by-step instructions for how Gideon and his small, fearless army will win.  This is definitely a case of have faith and follow.  Rev. Jason pointed out three very different ideas; a departure from other texts of the Bible.

And then there is the music at Covenant.  The last song is “Glory To God” by Fee ©2009.
“Glory to God
 Glory to God
 Glory to God Forever...”

Could a soul be more satisfied?

I am, a Renewed Christian
