Worship, June 27

Have you ever read the Bible and been frustrated with the characters in the story? Often when I read about God’s people I get frustrated when I see how they turn away from Him. Reading from my perspective it is so obvious what they should do or how they ought to react. It bugs me because God’s presence seems so clear. One story in Exodus tells how the Israelites’, shortly after leaving Egypt, created a Golden Calf to worship. How ridiculous! God had time after time made His presence known and kept His promises and meanwhile His people turned away. But before I continue to give the Israelites a hard time I need to also look at the way I am living. I may not have built and worshiped an idol in the way they did, but what does the way I live my life say about the God I serve? Am I spending more time focusing on material things or even other relationships instead of investing in my relationship with God? This week we’ll dig a bit deeper into this significant story in Exodus. Come and See!

Below are the songs that we will be singing this week for worship:

• Everything Glorious
