The Power of Worship Through Singing
Worship through singing is a powerful way to express our love, gratitude, and devotion to God. Throughout the Bible, we see how singing brings people closer to God, ushers in His presence, and shifts the atmosphere. Singing is not just a musical exercise; it is a spiritual act that glorifies God and strengthens our faith.

Singing as an Expression of Worship
The Bible is filled with exhortations to sing to the Lord. Singing allows us to express the joy, reverence, and gratitude we feel toward God. Psalm 95:1 invites us to worship God with singing:

“O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation” (Psalm 95:1, KJV).
When we sing, it is not just about hitting the right notes or creating a melody; it is about lifting our voices and hearts to God. It is an offering of praise that He receives joyfully.

Singing Ushers in God's Presence
Singing has a way of inviting the presence of God into our midst. It helps us to focus on Him, pushing aside distractions and concerns. The psalmist reminds us that God is enthroned upon the praises of His people:

“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel” (Psalm 22:3, KJV).
This means that when we sing, we create a dwelling place for God’s presence. In moments of trial or triumph, singing draws us nearer to God, reminding us that He is always with us and ready to move on our behalf.

Singing Transforms and Strengthens
Singing not only changes the atmosphere but also strengthens our faith. The act of singing God's Word and truths over ourselves builds our confidence in Him. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas demonstrated the power of singing during challenging times. While imprisoned, they chose to worship God through songs:

“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed” (Acts 16:25-26, KJV).
Their singing not only shifted their circumstances but also impacted those around them. This passage shows us that singing praises to God can break chains, both physical and spiritual.

Singing as a Declaration of Victory
Singing is also a declaration of victory. It is a way to proclaim God’s power and deliverance over our lives. Moses and the Israelites sang a song of victory after crossing the Red Sea, celebrating God’s triumph over their enemies:

“The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him” (Exodus 15:2, KJV).
When we sing in faith, we declare God’s victory over every situation in our lives, reinforcing our trust in His power and promises.

Practical Steps to Embrace Worship Through Singing
Make singing a daily habit: Set aside time each day to sing praises to God, whether through hymns, psalms, or spiritual songs.

Sing with intention: When you sing, focus on the words and meaning of the song, letting them resonate in your heart.

Incorporate singing into prayer: As you pray, sing songs of thanksgiving, adoration, or even supplication, letting your heart pour out before God in melody.


Let US PRAY
Lord, help me to worship You through singing, with a heart full of joy and thanksgiving. May my songs of praise honor You and invite Your presence into my life. 

Be Blessed!

Being Teachable Helps You Grow
Being teachable is one of the most important attributes for spiritual growth. It is the heart’s posture of humility and willingness to learn, change, and become better. When we cultivate a teachable spirit, we open the door for God to work more deeply within us, shaping us into who He has called us to be.

"The Heart of a Teachable Spirit"
A teachable spirit is marked by a willingness to listen and learn. It takes humility to recognize that we do not know everything and that there is always more to understand. Solomon emphasized the value of learning in the book of Proverbs:

“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels” (Proverbs 1:5, KJV).
Being teachable requires being “quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (James 1:19, KJV). This mindset allows us to be open to instruction and correction, understanding that God often uses others to impart wisdom and guidance into our lives.

"Teachability Leads to Growth"
When we remain open to instruction and correction, growth naturally follows. Teachability positions us to receive the wisdom needed for spiritual maturity. Proverbs 9:9 underscores this truth:

“Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning” (Proverbs 9:9, KJV).
God’s Word itself is one of the greatest tools for teaching and growth. The Apostle Paul wrote:

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17, KJV).

As we read and meditate on Scripture, we should approach it with a teachable heart, allowing it to correct us and refine our character.

Jesus: The Ultimate Example of Teachability
Even Jesus, the Son of God, demonstrated a teachable spirit in His relationship with the Father. He continually sought the Father’s will and submitted to His plan, showing us that even in His divinity, He remained teachable and humble:

“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise” (John 5:19, KJV).
In Philippians 2, Paul described Jesus’ humility:

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus… And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:5, 8, KJV).
We are called to emulate Christ’s humility and willingness to learn and grow in obedience to God.

Practical Ways to Cultivate a Teachable Heart
Having a teachable spirit is not just a concept; it requires intentional action. Here are some practical ways to become more teachable:

Embrace correction: Do not resist constructive feedback, whether it comes from a friend, a mentor, or God’s Word. Instead, consider it an opportunity to grow.

Study God’s Word: Consistently reading the Bible with an open heart allows God to reveal areas where growth is needed.

Seek wise counsel: Proverbs 11:14 tells us, “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety” (KJV). Surrounding yourself with godly people who are willing to offer wisdom is vital.

REFLECTION
Being teachable is essential to spiritual growth. God calls us to remain humble, to listen, and to learn. Let us pray for a teachable spirit, open to the lessons God has for us through His Word, His Spirit, and His people.

Let US PRAY
Lord, grant me a teachable heart. Help me to receive correction with humility and to seek Your wisdom in all things. Mold me, shape me, and grow me into the person You desire me to be. 

Be Blessed Family!

In Isaiah 55:8-9 (KJV), the Lord declares, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways... For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” God's plans often surpass our understanding, but they always lead to better things. Even when we face trials, we can trust that God is working for our good (Romans 8:28). When we follow His Word and walk in His ways, He directs our steps, bringing peace, joy, and blessings beyond measure. 

Trust in God’s ways—they always lead to better!

Pre-Worship Song Opening Prayer Congregational Songs of Praise Reading of God’s Word 2nd PrayerCongregational Songs of Praise Announcements&nbsp;Welcome to CU CommunionOfferingSunday Message (Sermon) The Invitation Closing Prayer (Response &amp; Prayer Requests)

The Lord calls us to be servants, following the example of Christ who humbled Himself to serve others. In Matthew 20:26-28 (KJV), Jesus teaches, "But whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Serving others is a fundamental part of our Christian walk. The Lord calls us to be humble, to love our neighbors, and to reflect His grace through acts of service. By serving, we fulfill His will, bless others, and grow in spiritual maturity, knowing that our labor for the Lord is never in vain.
