Reflecting on the Sermon: 2/27/11

Rod spoke on Romans...wait...no he didn't.  He is taking a short break to preach on issues related to Biblical Church Leadership.  The sermon this week focused on why we exist as a church.  He is preaching on the biblical reasons our church exists: exalt God, edify believers, and evangelize the lost (our mission statement). 

This time he focused on exalting God.  One practical challenge I took from the message was when he was focusing on God's glory and the fact that God is worthy of all our worship.  He said, "You don't come to church to get something out of it, you come to give God glory in worship.  It is only as we focus our attention on God and ascribe glory to him that we find peace and joy."  A good reminder to come each Sunday ready to exalt God (and to exalt him everyday).
