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.
With the first day of fall less than 3 weeks away, we are just days away from a new season, a wonderful season!
Change is in the air. What are some things you are looking forward to this fall?
As temperatures cool down and most trees loose their leaves, we can rest in the promise that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 ESV
Enjoy!
David

Four Observations
Give Us Enough, but Never Too Much - by Caleb Gorton at ABWE.org
Excerpt: “We in the prosperous West are so accustomed to bounty that the true significance of provision is often overlooked. Most of us have fully stocked fridges and pantries and need only make a run to the grocery store around the corner to pick up anything we lack. We have largely lost the concept of ‘daily bread’ because we have enough food to last for weeks. As we consider the verse before us, however, we are reminded of three things: the provision, the Provider, and the way in which the provision is given.” 👉 Read More…
TWO INSIGHTS FOR WORSHIP LEADERS:
Side A… Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing: Prioritizing God’s Presence in a Busy World - by Darlene Zschech at WorshipLeader.com
Excerpt: “Life in the 21st century, despite the conveniences technology offers, often lacks the space for meditating on God and waiting for His voice. This quiet, reflective time with God will not happen by accident; it must be a deliberate priority.” 👉 Read More…
Side B… How To Embrace Digital Media In The Church - by Church Media Squad at ChurchTechToday.com
Excerpt: “For centuries, the church has found ways to incorporate art and technology to enhance worship, spread the Gospel, and engage people. Think about stained glass windows — They were once considered a secular art form, but today, it’s hard to imagine a traditional church without them. These windows tell stories, depict biblical scenes, and create a sacred atmosphere in a way that words alone cannot.
Just as the church adapted stained glass to fit its mission, we must continue to embrace modern technology and creative media to advance the Gospel today.” 👉 Read More…

SONG "Even At My Worst (You Love Me)” by Harvest Worship - YouTube Video: Harvest Worship - "Even At My Worst (You Love Me)" feat. Vanessa Marquez (Official Lyric Video)
VERSE TWO & CHORUS
“Name one thing that can separate us / No height, nor depth, or anything / Can come between Your love / Your mercy’s not a secret / It’s proven in your scars / So why do I keep running / When my home is in Your heart / So why do I keep running / When my home is Yours…”
“Even at my worst You love me… / When I lose myself You stay the same… / When I’m weak, You’re strong God lead me to believe… / Even at my worst… / Even at my worst… / You love me… / You love me…”
