This morning I want to talk to you about A GIFT OF INTERRUPTIONS! Do like to be interrupted? Do you like to have someone interrupt you when you are talking or when you are working on a task. Why are we that way? I think it is because we like the routine…we like normal. God will interrupt you with a gift…a gift of interruptions. We need to remember that few of us recognize the gift of God in our lives. Why is that? Because God often wraps the gift in a way that we do not recognize the gift He is giving us! You see the gift of interruptions don’t always seem like a gift…at the time!

This morning I want to talk to you about living with a thankful heart! It has been called thanksliving! Too often many of us get caught up in the thanksgiving trap…that is being thankful one day of the year! We put it on the calendar and do it one day out of the year…and that is it!

Real worship must have depth. Worship that is cheap or easy is not worship at all…it is going through the motions! We must remember that worship is more than songs and music. We must remember that worship takes place everywhere…not just here on Sunday morning! Worship really only makes sense when we are willing…I said willing…to pay the pay the price. Are you willing to the pay the price…for real worship and you ready to REDISCOVER WORSHIP?

Do you KNOW YOUR ENEMY? Sometimes I am the enemy! I know that we would prefer to think that Satan and sin are the only enemies we need to worry about, but that is not the whole truth is it? Sometimes…not all the time…but sometimes I am the enemy! Sometimes God is trying to work in my life…and I keep getting in God’s way! It is not Satan…it is not sin…it is me! It my thought processes, it is my worries, my attitudes, my actions…it is me being disobedient!

Do you know your enemy? You may think that he/she is setting near you…you may think that your enemy stole your boyfriend/girlfriend, money, job, house, car, etc. Is He or she your enemy? I mean really your enemy? Why did Jesus tell us to love our enemy? Perhaps there is more to this whole enemy discussion than what we normally think about. Perhaps there is a human enemy that we should love and a spiritual enemy that we should loathe! Perhaps the church as allowed the world’s thinking to overtake the church’s thinking! Is it really possible to love our enemies? Did Jesus really mean what he said? If he didn’t then what did he mean? If he did, then why are so many people disobeying HIM? Do you know your enemy? What do you do with THE ENEMY AT CHURCH?
