Praying for Ardmore.

Hey Team! I wanted to share something I read in the book of Jeremiah today. It comes from chapter 29 starting in verse 4.

(4)This is what the Lord of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel, says to all the captives he has exiled to Babylon from Jerusalem: (5) "Build homes, and plan to stay. Plant Gardens, and eat the food they produce. (6) Marry and have children. Then find spouses for them so that you may have many grandchildren. Multiply! Do not dwindle away! (7) And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare." 


I wanted us to realize How God was telling his people to pray for the city they were in. For it to prosper and be successful . I think as a team we should do the same thing. Lets pray for Ardmore America. Lets pray peoples hearts will be changed and they will seek our God Whether it be at HOP or a different Godly centered Church. Lets pray that we can Glorify God in and out of the church and be true doers of Gods word.

We know that God always keeps his promises and fills needs in his timing. I want us to now look at Verses 10-13. (10) This is what the Lord says: "You will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you home again. (11) For I know the plans I the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (12) In those days when you pray, I will listen. (13) If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me."

Here I see something very important. God asked his people to pray earlier and then he says in verse 10, Then I'll answer you 70 YEARS later! So as we pray let us not grow weary. I do believe God is going to use our ministry to do great things so like it says lets pray for our city and our church to prosper and keep praying even when we may not see the results, even if it takes 70 years.

With action. John 3:18

After reading about what the band Leeland said about their ministry at, http://www.leelandonline.com/band, I got an idea. I think it would be a really neat thing if we as a worship team could get together either weekly/monthly/quarterly and do something to help others in our community. We weren't simply created to worship and tell others about God inside our church walls. We were created to act out this love as well. So I don't have any idea what it would necessarily be but I do feel like it could be a very impactful thing. So I would like everyone to "put your thinking caps on" and share our ideas with each other about what we could do as a team to make a difference in our community.

Remember this verse.

1 Chronicles 16:9
Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all his wonderful acts.

Hey team! First of all great job to all of you yesterday morning! Thanks for your hard work and the time that you give. I am sharing this verse with all of you because I think it fits perfectly with what each of us do as worship leaders. We sing to him and through the songs we have the privilege of telling others of his wonderful love, power, and mercy! His wonderful acts! I am really excited what God has for us as a team and I know if put forth the effort and continue to work to get better as individuals and a team God will bless our efforts. So today and every day lets sing to Him, sing praise to Him, and tell what others what he has done in our lives!
