WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.
CURRENT SERMON SERIES: UPGRADE
This Sunday (1/21): 
Upgrading Our Worship
Scripture:  Revelation 4-5

This Sunday we will focus our attention on upgrading our worship.  Have you ever wondered what worship in heaven will be like when we can finally see God on His throne?   My guess is our worship here will pale in comparison to our worship on that day.  In Revelation 4 and 5, we get a glimpse into the worship that takes place in heaven.  In Revelation 4:9-10 we are told, "Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne."  This Sunday we will unpack the true nature of worship to God and how we can begin to upgrade our worship of Him. - ART
