WORSHIP

All are welcome to join us this Sunday!

I hope that everyone enjoyed the children’s message that we shared last Sunday (if you missed it, check the Mayfield UC You Tube channel). The premise of the message I shared was to remind us, during the Halloween trick or treating time, that we are “sample sizes” of our great God. Whenever you give or receive a “sample size” treat, you are reminded that you are a “sample size” of God. Each time you are kind, loving, gracious and kind, you are sharing a sample of the characteristics of God.

We continue our message of the greatness of God this week as we explore God’s glory in the book of Exodus and learn about the fact that Moses requested to see the face of God and how God responded to this request.

I encourage you to attend this Sunday as we will learn the value of The Trinity, and how God reveals himself to us in ways that we can comprehend. The glory of God is too bright, too glorious and too great for us to look directly in the face of God or we would die (Exodus 33:18-23). As a result, God meets us where we are at as he sends Jesus to earth as fully human, yet fully divine so that we could experience God in a way that we could comprehend and see his face.

Last, God comes to us in Spirit and dwells within our soul so that we may experience the power of God for ourselves. God is a relational being and His purpose in creation is to cultivate community and relationships. God does this within the Trinity that he co-exists, but then he also encourages us to commune with one another as we each hold the spirit of God within. As a result, living in relationship with one another, and gathering to worship grows The Spirit of God within each of us.

This design was intelligently created by God to prevent us from existing in isolation as we draw nearer to Him. For the alternative would be lonely worship of our God, but through the Holy Spirit we are able to see the face of God in one another and be a source of encouragement as we grow in faith together. It is when we are able to recognize the face of God in each of us through The Spirit that we grow deeper in our faith. We are reminded in this that we are never alone.
