The Advent of Joy – Worship Eyes

Everyone likes good news, and that is what the Gospel is – Good News! When the Angel said that a Savior is born to us, that was the best news to a people who were waiting for God to send the Deliverer. The Gospel is the very thing that grants us justification (a legal term that means to be declared legally righteous), forgiveness of our sins, peace, hope, love, faith, eternal life, etc. The person that has these things applied to their life is blessed and should be full of joy! 

The Advent of Peace – Worship Eyes

The Advent, or arrival, of Peace truly became accessible to humanity when Jesus arrived in this world! He is our peace!
Peace is equivalent to wholeness, oneness, rest, and stillness. It is interesting to think about the word peace in that way, because for me when I think of peace I usually think of it in terms of the absence of war, or chaos. Well, although that is true, it goes far beyond the absence of something by giving us the presence of something else instead – wholeness!

Hark! God and Sinner Are Reconciled! Worship Devotional

The plan that included a Babe in a manger, resulted in all of humanity having access to forgiveness and reconciliation to the very God we offend and reject daily! God is not holding the worlds sins against them, but pleading with us all to be reconciled to Him through Jesus! That means that He removed the very thing that was blocking all of us from experiencing Him – sin. Christ became that sin for us, so that we can finally stand righteous before Him!

What Can Wash Away My Sin? Worship Devotional

What can wash away our sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus Christ! No other sacrifice will suffice! God is pleased and accepts that as the only way to become clean before Him, no other attempt to find complete forgiveness will do.

The Revelation of the Light! Worship Devotional

1 John 1:7 (NET)

– Do you ever look for ways to freely express your gratitude for God for saving you and revealing the Light of the world to you?

– Are you confident that you will truly fly away to meet the Lord in the air when He returns?

– Have you forgotten how it felt when you seen the Light for the first time?
– Will you remind yourself even now of your testimony?

Is the Grace of God Sufficient Enough? Worship Devotional

– Do you have a humble enough spirit to admit weakness to the Lord and to embrace His gracious correction?

– Is His grace sufficient enough for you to be secure in your salvation, or do you feel that you have to try to add to His complete work of salvation?

– Have you praised the Lord today for being faithful to you? Will you now?

Lead Me to the Cross! Worship Devotional

– How often do you return to the cross in your mind, reflecting upon the exchange that took place on it for you?

– Does the cross communicate love to you?

– Have you praised God for giving you a place to go to for the forgiveness of your sins and for the hope of a new life in Christ?
– Will you now?

Look to Christ for Sacrifice and Leadership! Worship Devotional

Have you allowed Him to have the Leadership/Lordship role in your life?
What is the evidence of that?

Have you worshiped Jesus Christ today for being that sacrificial Lamb for you to atone for your sins?
Will you now?

Worship Devo: Is God’s Forgiveness Producing Freedom in You?

I believe most of us can relate to the first couple lines of our song today, “God, I’m on my knees again, God I’m begging please again. I need You, Oh I need You!” Sin is a very present reality in our lives, and the battle against it can be very fierce at times, but the reality of forgiveness actually has the potential of allowing us the ability to overcome those nagging sins in our lives!

Worship Devo: Being Delivered from Your Egypt!

God has a wonderful track record of stepping in throughout history and delivering those who call upon Him by faith! You can read about it in the Bible, you can look up Godly testimonies and listen to transformation in other people’s lives, or you can keep a journal and describe your own deliverance experience. All of those are ways to “remember” the works of the Lord, and as we do that our joy and confidence will increase! This is so important and I hope that you can remember that work of deliverance/salvation in your own life.
