I've heard from so many people that yesterday's Celebration Service was one of our best ever! We've always got amazingly talented people on stage. So what made the difference? It's a matter of our attitude. Talent can only take us so far, but our hearts have got to be in the right place. That's what happened yesterday. Talent and heart came together to make for an awesome experience with God.
Check out part of Ron's encouraging post to see what I mean:
about their faith get together and worship. My former pastor in
Okinawa used to say that you can have all the talent in the world, but
without commitment, your talent is worthless. I also believe this is
true in part when it comes to your heart and your attitude. EVERYBODY
that was part of worship this morning has a good heart and a GREAT
attitude, and I honestly believe that this morning’s service was
probably the best we’ve ever had at The Connection Church
because of this very reason. Rene, our drummer, has grown into an
amazing player. The beat this morning was rock steady, and the tempos
were not too fast or too slow – they were just right! It is also so
wonderful to have our new bass player – Chel on board. He has a true
heart for God and worship has just been awesome with him playing. And… Chris… oh man… That dude is amazing. It is truly an honor to
have him as part of the team. He has to be one of the best sax players
I know. I am continually blown away how God provides for The
Connection Church musicians with bucket loads of talent. God gives us
the talent, but it is up to us as individuals to make the commitment
and keep our attitudes in check. I am just so excited to
see where God takes us from here! Oh, and I have to give Micah
a shoutout. He sung his heart out this morning. Dude – you rock!
Bryan and Pam were singing their hearts out as well. I LOVE IT! If you live in the Kyle/Buda area
and aren’t in a church, you have NO idea what you’re missing out on!
I couldn't have said it better. And while you're at Ron's site, he posts an instrumental worship set each week that you can listen to for your time alone with God. This is a useful resource for growing a stronger connection with God.
No matter what areas we have talent in, this is a great reminder for each of us to do a heart check and see if our attitude is at the same level. God can do an amazing work through us when we're fully committed to Him!
