Sunday worship was incredible. Pastor Chuck walked us through Heaven. In his sermon, he helped us to envision what we heaven would be like. In it he mentioned some hobby or thing we enjoyed and how we can spend hours on end doing… then he moved us one step closer saying that it is God that created that thing… and if God created it, how much more time would be enjoying him forever. He asked us to imagine a worship service that lasted 12 hours… and then imagined that the worship service took us around the galaxy. God is infinite and in him we can truly worship forever.

We began worship with a reading from Psalm 19, then sang three hymns that I’ve never sang before:

#20 God of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand
#73 Our Great Savior

I praised God when I saw “Our Great Savior” in which its chorus went like this:

Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Hallelujah! what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.

We continued with a reading of Psalm 139. We had been meditating on that chapter for the past week. What struck me was than when we are with God… his enemies are our enemies. Sometimes I want God to strike down my enemies… at least humble them. But the psalmist puts it in such a way that when we are united with God, when we are with Him, his enemies ARE going to be our enemies.

If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:19-24

Pastor Chuck preached on John 14:1-4 and took us on a journey to heaven.

We concluded with the benediction and doxology.
