Worship Service

 

We gathered Sunday morning for worship service.  The team had two testimonies one being David and the other being Kent.  The service started with the women's choir leading worship in praises and hymns.  Jose, a church member sang a solo along with the ladies of the church choir.  Pastor David came forward and welcoming everyone to worship. As we were worshiping in Honduras our families back home were worshiping as well.  We were worshiping in the same God just in a different language and location.  One of the hymns the church sang was "Jesus is my Friend".  After hearing David's testimony the song prior to David's testimony was so appropriate. David went to church and did all the stuff you would do at church.  David accepted Christ at the age of 12 but at that time all it was for David was a formality.  David did not know Jesus as his personal Savior or as His Friend.  It took a lot of world events and the loss of his father before David realized he needed Jesus as his Friend.  He needed to know Jesus as his personal Savior.  David tried to find pleasure in drugs, girls and sports.  Thank God for the game of Ice Hockey.  David's coach approached him soon after his father's death and ask him did he know Jesus as his Lord and Savior.  David said I received him at the age of 12 and have not really gotten to know who Jesus is in m life.  On that day David gave his life to Christ and now enjoys reading and studying and learning all he can about his Savior, Jesus in the Word.  David shared some scripture relating to his salvation, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of  God is eternal life  through Jesus Christ his Son." Romans 6:23 David challenged the congregation that day to receive the greatest gift of all Jesus if they have not already done so.

They sang "Halleiugh" while the offering was brought to the altar.

The North American team came forward to sing their two specials, "How Great Is His Love" and "Worthy Is the Lamb".

Kent came forward and shared he was not a preacher, just a farmer.  I thought this was so appropriate because a lot of those gentlemen in the worship service are also just farmers.  Kent probably did not realize what he had said but he immediately put himself right there with the gentlemen of the church.  Well done good and faithful servant.  Kent was also raised in a Christian home. But as a teen he had questions about Christ and who he was. God blessed him with a beautiful family with a wife and two wonderful children and extended family.  One day five years ago or more they got news Kent mother had cancer.  Throughout the whole time he received peace from God which transcends all Kent's understanding. Kent shared he would see his mother again, in heaven.  The more I walk with God the more I realize I need him, Kent shared.  The more I spend time with God the more I realize I need to share this love with others.  I need to let others see Jesus in my life, Kent shares.  .  We are all brothers and sisters in Christ if we know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We call God,  "Abba Father".  He is our heavenly Father just like we have an earthly Father.  God is our "Daddy" Kent thanked them for allowing the team to worship and work beside them this week.

 

"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." Romans 8:14-17
