Today's message is "theGREATdebate".
Today we are taking a look at the great debate between hymns and choruses. Some love one and not the other and vice versa.
So what does this say about us and our worship? Is it that we worship our worship or the One who is worthy of our worship?
Think about it...
...or better yet join us at 10:30 this morning and listen to the GREAT DEBATE.

Just Wondering
Why is it you never see Christ followers paying $29.00 to $1500.00 to get in the doors and set in a pew or having tailgate parties and barbeque's in the parking lot at the church because they're excited about the victory that's already been won?
Why is it you never see Christ followers camping out in long lines, sleeping in sleeping bags in tents or on lawn chairs on the sidewalks to make sure they can get in the church doors to get the "latest" from iAm?
And why is it you never see Christ followers spending hours upon hours with their face in God's book waiting to read His latest post about Himself or about them?
Simply said, why is it that those who say they're fans of Jesus Christ seem to not be as devoted as the NFL, iMac or facebook fans? And another maybe even more intriguing question is, are some who say they're Jesus fans possibly NFL, iMac or facebook fans too and if so where do their loyalties truly lie?
I'm Just wondering.

NOW
Scripture tells us that NOW is the time of salvation. NOT today, tomorrow or the next but NOW. We are changed in a moment and the moment to change is NOW. We can't do it on our own that's why Jesus came to die and rise again so we could have a new heart, new life and a new direction. In other words He came to offer us change.
We struggle, fight and argue over change because change is difficult and just plain hard. It makes us uncomfortable and we don't like to be uncomfortable. But in order to change we have to surrender. We must surrender our minds, our bodies and our wills over to God. In other words, what we think, what we do and where we go needs to line up with God's word and will. It's hard but it can be done if we will just say "I give up!" and then give it up to Him. You can do this NOW. You don't need to be in a church service with a preacher shaking his finger at you telling you you need to change, you already know that - don't you? Be honest with yourself.
God is waiting, He knows what's going on in your life, He knows your heart and He's waiting.
What will it be... will you change NOW?
Just ask Christ to forgive you and change you and He will. Then I suggest you find a group of followers who are real about their faith and hang with them, learn with them and encourage and be encouraged by them.
It's your choice and chance to change... NOW. What are you waiting for?
