The Great Commission.

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I get to go to church, and while I'm there, I hang out with a lot of nice people. The student band for my church are very skilled musicians (especially the bass player, but maybe I'm biased about that, because the bass player is my dad), and they're all very friendly. Sometimes I'll bring them muffins for breakfast because they take time out of their Sunday morning to practice before the service and it's usually pretty early in the morning so I doubt they have time to grab anything very satisfying to eat. It's funny to watch the younger band members inhale the muffins. Poor guys.

I love my worship pastor. He's very talented and has an amazing voice, but best of all, he bounces the worship away from himself, the music, the band, the lights, the sound, and everyone else, and he directs it straight towards God. He makes it simple to fall into the embrace of God and makes it seem that it's just you in the room, no other people, no other distractions, just you at the feet of God worshiping him with all that's within you.

How many people have that gift?

How many people use that gift like God intends them to?

My church is a great fellowship place for believers. Whenever I go, no matter what day of the week, I feel inspired, loved, safe, and, most of all, reminded of why I'm here, which is living out The Great Commission.

The student ministry team at my church are some of the best people you'll ever meet. God has gifted them with leadership, initiative, understanding, wisdom, and many other traits. They always put aside whatever they're doing to talk to you. I'm not saying they're perfect, not by any stretch. And I'm not saying my church is perfect either, we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. But when we do slip up, we always need to ask God for forgiveness, then lay that sin at God's feet and never turn back to it.

This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Romans 3:22-24


Then the eleven disiples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disiples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Matthew 28:16-20 (The Great Commission.)
