Don't Come Empty Handed

Last night was the last night of our worship sabbatical. I have been so blessed by how the team has invested in this time of study. Individuals on the team have stepped up to the idea that on Sunday morning we present the offering we have prepared all week. One on our team has done this. He has put together a rehearsal CD in Garageband that is helping the entire team prepare a song for worship. This is "loaves and Fishes" worship for our team. Taking what we have and giving it back to God, and letting Him multiply it. An offering of time, talent and resources is multiplied in preparing the entire team to present an offering that God will multiply on Sunday morning to feed the multitude. Last week another member of our worship team honored God by the time he gave in preparation of a video of the worship team reading scripture paraphrases from our study. God blessed that offering as we shared the video last week.

This is how we are to worship, preparing an offering Monday through Saturday and on Sunday we do not show up empty handed, we present the offering of worship and the sacrifice of praise that we have prepared all week long. Here is part of the worship team video.
