The 06-24-07 Photo Collage from Tinney Chapel
Pastor Duncan Graham's time with the Tinney Chapel Kids today was a memorial to the late J. T. Crow, who died June 22, at age 10, in a tragic ATV accident.
Pastor Graham's topic for his adult sermon today, "Worship The Lord In The Beauty Of His Holiness," was based on Psalm 96:7-9. "God seeks worship and praise," reminded Pastor Graham. "His beauty and splendor are lovely to see. We may worship the beauty of the Lord, but should always remember that worship is something we should do every day. Actually, worship is something we live every day."
The Pastor referenced Joshua 5:13-15, and emphasized that Joshua fell on his face and worshipped the Lord, who told him to take off his shoes because he was on holy ground.
"When we work, we should do it unto the Lord," added Pastor Graham. "That is one of the greatest acts of worship we can perform. It's also interesting to recall that two words that are associated with worship, hallelujah and amen, do not have to be translated into any other language. It's the same in all of them."
Pastor Graham also mentioned the injunction of Jesus, Who said that we should worship in Spirit and Truth.
"Worship begins at home," concluded Pastor Graham. "Worship is a surrender of our lives to God."
Today was also Fourth Sunday, and the congregation proceeded from the sanctuary to the Family Life Center for a traditional UMC covered dish lunch.
