special song

I will offer up my life
In spirit and truth,
Pouring out the oil of love
As my worship to you
In surrender I must give my every part;
Lord, receive the sacrifice
Of a broken heart

CHORUS:
Jesus, what can I give, what can I bring
To so faithful a friend, to so loving a king?
Savior, what can be said, what can be sung
As a praise of your name
For the things you have done?
Oh my words could not tell, not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart

You deserve my every breath
For you've paid the great cost;
Giving up your life to death,
Even death on a cross
You took all my shame away,
There defeated my sin
Opened up the gates of heaven
And have beckoned me in

I Will Offer Up My Life by Matt Redman

prayer for the week

Grant that I, Lord, may not be anxious about earthly things, but love things heavenly; and even now, while I am placed among things that are passing away, hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.†

good to be home

the best part of vacation? realizing how much you appreciate home. we love being closer to family, our dear friends, our special church and in our house that we have worked so hard on and created so many memories in. the ocean is a close 2nd, though.

"We reclaim the church as a blessing machine not only because that is what Jesus intended from the beginning but also because serving people is the only way their perceptions of church are ever going to change. This is why it is so toxic for the gospel when Christians picket and boycott and complain about how bad the world is... Why blame the dark for being dark? It is far more helpful to ask why the light isn't as bright as it could be."
