Welcome to this issue of one24worship - Because worship is a daily lifestyle, one 24-hour day at a time, not just a weekly event.
The one24worship Newsletter is a weekly offering of inspiration, ideas, and insights... 1-2-4: one verse, two quotes, and four observations at a time.
As we head into this special weekend, let’s be mindful that the radiance of the gospel and the brilliance of worship are inseparable.
Wherever the light of the gospel shines brightly, a blaze of worship emerges.
May it be so this coming Palm Sunday!
Hosanna in the Highest!
Enjoy!
David
One Verse
“This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5 ESV
Two Quotes
Mike Cosper
“The gospel is all about once-broken worship being restored by Jesus. We worship the Father with and through the Son by the power of his Spirit.” Mike Cosper
Excerpt: “Journaling offers leaders the space to learn from the past, shape the present, and envision the future. The reflective component fosters humility, self-awareness, and a commitment to growth. Simultaneously, the insightful aspect fuels vision, purpose, and spiritual wisdom.”
Excerpt: “I so desperately want to stay in the will of God that I find myself praying with clauses sometimes. Like, ‘God please heal my friend but if it's Your will to take her, I will trust You.’ I wonder why I don't just boldly pray, ‘God, please heal my friend.’ And then stand confidently that my prayers were not in vain no matter what the outcome.”
Excerpt: “Passion week is the week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. During this week, Christians have historically reflected on the time in Jesus’s life between His entrance into Jerusalem and His death and resurrection. Traditionally, the elements of this week have been marked by different days. ”
“Come Jesus come / We’ve been waiting so long / For the day You return / To heal every hurt / And right every wrong / We need You right now / Come and turn this around / Deep down I know / This world isn’t home /Come Jesus come”
