Where is Your Focus?
Wow – I hadn’t realized how long it has been since I posted a setlist! Life has been just a tad busy I guess. Sorry about that!
This week’s topic was centered around worry in our home groups, and the passage we were focusing on was 1Samuel 13:1-14. It highlights a time when Saul decided to take matters into his own hands instead of waiting on Samuel, or, rather, waiting on God.
Worry and impatience. Anxiety.
There are so many times in the Bible where this comes up and causes problems for people!
With that in mind, our setlist focused on giving our anxieties to God and keeping a heavenly focus.
- Forever [F]
- Today is the Day [F]
- Rain It Down [A]
- We Will Worship You [D]
- kids storytime
- Beautiful One [E]
- announcements
- message – Staying Small in Your Own Eyes
- Trading My Sorrows [G]
It was a really great sermon, and hopefully we got a good recording of it. I will post it this week if so.
I really liked leading Rain it Down and We Will Worship You back to back – the first focuses on crying out to God in the midst of the storms instead of trying to run away from them, and the second calls for is to cry out when we get too comfortable, to content. These songs remind us that we need God in both the good times and the bad – not just the bad. It is so easy to forget about God when everything is going well… but we can’t! Our focus needs to be fixed on Him daily. Our desire needs to be to have a relationship with Him daily. We need to seek His face… daily.
And that is often so hard to do!
When things aren’t going our way, it is easy to cry out to God. It is easy to admit that we don’t have it all together. It is easy to admit that we need Him, because we (obviously) can’t do it on our own. We need to translate that same need to when things are going our way too. We still need Him, and we still can’t do it all on our own. We just so often don’t recognize our need.
We need to continually focus on Him.
