A neat thing happened the other day.  I was running around the house, trying to get ready for church when Michael (my two and a half year old son) pointed at me and said, “Pastor Kenneth!”  I stopped, and asked, “What did you say?”  With a fantastic smile, he responded, “Pastor Kenneth.”  I leaned closer, put my hand on his shoulder, and said, “That’s right, but you can call me Daddy.”  Without missing a beat, Michael responded, “Pastor Kenneth Daddy!”  That was a very special moment, one that I hope I remember my entire life.  It was a special moment in which we bonded and enjoyed each other’s presence.
You know what?  God wants to have special moments with you, transcendent moments, holy moments, moments where something of heaven touches something on earth.   He wants to meet with you and speak truth into your life.  He wants to meet you where you have your deepest need and help you. 
As a church, we confess that Jesus is Lord, He is the Alpha and Omega, the Eternal One, creator of all things, friend of Sinners, Almighty God and rightly so, for He is definitely these things.  But if we’ll listen carefully, if we lean in closely, we might also hear God saying, “That’s right, but you can call me Daddy.”   He is our heavenly Father and we are His worshipping children. 
We are a worshipping church!  As we respond with open hearts and obedient hands to the grace and love of God, the natural byproduct is worship.  The only response to a gift so wonderful (the gift of Christ, salvation from sin, and life in God) is heartfelt worship.
But this worship is not simply a Sunday morning event.  No!  This worship can be offered throughout the week through how we respond to God, how we treat our neighbors, our families, our co-workers.  It’s seen in how we spend our money, our time, and talents.  It’s seen in how we treat the poor and those forgotten by others.  It’s seen in the grace we offer, the words we use, the attitude and motivations of our hearts…in short, worship is seen in the very life we live, lives lived in and for Christ (Gal 2:20). 
Worship then becomes an every day experience instead of a Sunday morning event.  The Sunday morning worship time becomes a culmination of worship that has been offered up all week and not the only worship given during the week.  
Come, join us in worshipping our great God and heavenly Father!
