ANNOUNCEMENTS: Not too late to sign up for Forg3. Sept 22. Flag handoff to slappy at Shamrock end of the month.
COT: On this 22 anniversary of Sept 22, know what matters. Terrorism stories at our core because it shows how little control we have. It makes us face our fears, straight to our fear of death, but In Christ’s, we do not have to fear
“Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Chris is in you? — Unless indeed you fail to meet the test!” 2 Cor 13:5
1) It’s yourself, not others.
2) It’s worth the time to get this right. Of utmost importance.
3) Jesus is in you. If that is so – you’ll be different than you used to be – different than you want to be – different than society will tell you. You don’t have to fear.
The Holy Spirit is powerful, awesome and available. Don’t ignore Him

and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.

– As another year passes for this birthday boy, becomes paramount to remember the Lord rejoices in what He has done, so we ought to do the same — God is good in providing all we need (most importantly His Son who became the cornerstone), let us rejoice each day we have to bless His Name.

Psalm 30:4

This morning I was going to talk on listening – but as it turns out, I still need to work on that. I plan to use my family trip to MA to figure out how to listen. Please hold me to that.

Today, Make a Joyful noise!
There are over 50 commands in the bible telling us to Sing to the Lord.

So what’s your soundtrack? What are you listening to? Are you joining in? It’s an awesome way to follow God’s command.
I’m not a “only worship music” guy, but some of the music you listen to should bring you to a place of worship.
I’m a firm beliver that music is a gift from God.
It lowers your blood pressure, lessens anxitey, improves sleep
Music is also a gift FOR God. Used properly, it awakens a part of us designed to commune with God.
I’d love for all of you sharing what you are listening to that does that. I hope it’s not just contemporary christian music you may hear on the radio, but many genres and instrumentals and deep lyrics.
Jesus died for you. Sing about it!

Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.
Psalm 147:1
