Hey everyone, here's my words for the call to worship today. I won't actually get to do it till next week because the schedule got changed. Wow a sneek preview! Feel special?


I struggled to write for this morning. Because my God is too small.

I have spent several weeks speaking to you about His matchless wisdom., unchanging nature, His perfect strength.and I find myself at a loss for words.
How can this be? It is as though I have nothing left to say, or perhaps merely not the words to say it.

As if I could exhaust His majesty in a single 2 minute dialogue.
As if He is only capable of captivating our attention for such meager amounts of time before we start looking for something new to satisfy our appetite.
As if my vocabulary were really that good.

Either my God is too small, and by too small I mean that my understanding of Him is too limited and pathetic to really be a true representation of who He is, either that, my mind is numb with awe, or I am merely trying to impress you with my words.

Please, do not miss the message for the messenger.

Jesus often said, “If anyone has ears, let them hear”I urge you now to consider what you already know to be true.

God is more than,
better than
bigger than
More marvelous than Every song, every hymn, every sermon and devotion
Every call to worship
Even the humblest prayer offered fails to give God His due.

Capitalize His name in print, not enough
Stand every time His word is read, not enough
Kneel down and bow in His presence, how could it ever be enough for a God so great
I could stand here till my body wasted away from the years and I would only scratch the surface of who He is.
Offering to Him anything short of everything fails to account for the true matchless wonder of who God is.

It is written that if everything Jesus did were recorded for us,
the planet would not have room for the books. Yet I struggle to find the words to describe my God.

You humble me Lord, that you would have anything to do with someone such as me. What am I that you seek my praise and are saddened when I do not offer it.

(o Lord you are holy, holy beyond words. Help us, in our small minds to know why we sing, to know why we smile, to know why we have hope. Reveal your heart to us today.)
