Our 24 hr prayer

Friday night several of our people prayed through the night in 1 hr shifts. This was inspired by the 24-7 prayer movement and even though we have not yet achieved the 7 day aspect, 24hr prayer has become part of our DNA at CCBC. We have different stations set up to help focus prayer on different things like prayer requests, prayer for missionaries, prayer for local issues, prayer for congregation. There is also music, candles, coffee anything that can help with the experience of prayer. Most people's first reaction to praying for 1 hr is "I wouldn't know how to pray so long" or" I couldn't stay up and pray late in the night". The opposite is true, most people actually say 1 hr is not enough. We now have people who book 3 hrs at a time and prefer the late night/ early morning shift and these are getting to be the most popular times in the prayer room.

Next time consider joining us in prayer we may be able to put together a whole weekend of unbroken prayer.

Worship God with your whole life

Worship is all about reflecting the love God gives us, back to him.  If we don't think we are too bad, than we don't need much love and then we don't need to show much love to others.  We reflect the love we have been given. When we, like the prodigal son realise how far we have strayed, we know the enormous love God our Father has lavished on us.  We then are so grateful that we reflect an enormous amount of love to others.

So by pointing out the sins of others, all we are saying is "I am pretty good and you are not!"

Worship is about how much grace we have recieved and how much we give back. One of my mother's favourite songs said it well:

      freely freely you have recieved
      freely freely give, 
     go in my name and because you believe 
     others will know that I live.

Worship God with your Vocation

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything you do. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. Serve them sincerely because of your reverent fear of the Lord. 23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. 24 Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ. 25 But if you do what is wrong, you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. For God has no favorites

(Colossians 3:22-25 NLTse)

In ALL we do, God calls us to work for him regardless of who our boss is or what our Job is. We can find ways of worshipping and glorifying him in all that we do.

Worship God with you finances.

God doesn't ask for your money neither does he need it. God asks that we have a heart for him and what he would like us to do with our finances.  Giving a 10% tithe is not the only aspect of worshipping God with our finances .  How about the other 90%?
