God always rewards the genuine pursuit of His Presence by passionately pouring out His heart on us in increasing measure and with growing intimacy. This is what Sunday morning is meant for. The People of God gather on Sunday, at churches all over the world, expecting that God will meet us there and He never lets us down. Not that we don’t expect to meet Him apart from church as well, at any time during our week and in any circumstance that may be going on in our lives. He is always available to His people. But there is something special about that Sunday meeting and the experience of encountering His Presence in unity.
Somehow it seems important to remember as we pursue Him in that weekly meeting, that He has arrived first, like in all His dealings with humankind. God first extends His hand in love, we respond. Jesus first shows us love on the cross, and our hearts respond by becoming open to give love back to Him in worship. The Eternal gesture of love and pursuit always comes first. It is God who invites us to join Him in that profound Sunday encounter of worship every week. He longs to meet us there. After experiencing His faithfulness in that beautiful moment week after week as we gather at church, the heart begins to long for Sunday in the sweetest way. To long for that sure and powerful meeting with the Lover of our souls who beckons us to draw near to Him, as He draws near to us.
If you are longing for a place to respond to God’s pursuit of you in worship and don’t currently have a church, please join us at the Interlake Full Gospel Church. You will be sure to be part of a genuine encounter with the Divine heart in a safe and non-judging community of believers.
We look forward to seeing you there!
