Worship Scripture:

Worship Synopsis:
What do you do when you arrive at the edge of a place? History would reveal we only have a few options. In most cases these options are not exciting. The closer we get to God the more we realize there are more options available. We ultimately realize that the edge of a place is not the end but a beginning. Moses arrived at the edge of the desert after having been on the run. At the edge is where he met God and his new purpose.

Often we get stuck in a position, opinion or routine and fail to believe in the power of new opportunities, adventures and possibilities. In Isaiah, God spoke boldly to people who had been beaten down by bondage and who no longer believed in the possibility of freedom. Today, God is speaking to us and reminding us that with God all things are possible.

Worship Scripture:
Revelation 21: 5-6 (NRSV)

Worship Synopsis:
Life sometimes seems like a toy train set that goes around and around. At first it is exciting when you open the box, put the tracks together and watch the train loop around the pre-set tracks for the first time. As time moves on and the train continues to go around and around we quickly become bored with the idea of watching train go around a track in a predictable pattern. Often this leeds to extreme boredom. If we are not careful we compromise and stay on the same track year after year. In Revelation 21, we are reminded of God's power to make all things new. Our lives change when we understand that God has the power to make things new and we take authority to change the patterns and tracks in our lives. We aren't truly living when we live life in predictable circles...

In Jennifer Hudson's latest hit song "Where You At" she raised a valid question to a suspected lover. Her question was "Why didn't you come through for me like you said you would?" Jennifer's question is a valid question that many of us asked Jesus after the pomp and circumstance of Easter. We praised, had hope and celebrated the Resurrection but now we are left with an Easter hangover and it seems like many things have not changed in our lives. Easter came and went and we are asking the same question Jennifer asked "Where are you Jesus?" The last chapter of Matthew answers our question.
