update on worship request from elders

Two days ago I posted a request from the elders about consolidating our worship services from two to one. There were a lot who expressed support for that proposal with a simple yes, but there were also many who expressed concern about the style of the service. While I can do my best to make it "fit" for both those who want more contemporary style as well as those who want more traditional liturgy, both sides are afraid, and rightly so, that there won't be enough of either. Some won't like the "loud" videos and contemporary songs. Others won't like the "boring" hymns that are too hard to sing. Some will not like the chanting and liturgy, others will love it. Some will detest the silly kids songs we'll do. Others will think they are the greatest thing in the world. The list goes on and on.
All that being said, I would appreciate more discussion and feedback on the matter.
I imagine that quite a few people, ME INCLUDED, love it all and like to go to all the services. I have often said that if I knew people would show up I'd have worship every day in every style imaginable. I just love to worship! I love to preach! I love to sing! I love confessing my sins before God and receiving absolution. I love taking the Lord's Supper. Frankly I don't care what form or style it is. I love it all! I have no preference. I'll do a worship service every hour on a Sunday if it means getting more people to enjoy worshiping the Lord like I do and getting everyone to come to worship. If I knew going to one service would get more people to church I'd do that. I don't think that'll happen though.
Anyway, please give me more feedback either by simply commenting or by messaging. Peace be with you all! I love you all!

DEVOTION: Philippians 4:4-13

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. ⁵Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; ⁶do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. ⁷And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

⁸Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. ⁹What you have learned^[b] and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

¹⁰I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. ¹¹Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. ¹²I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. ¹³I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

One of the most misunderstood Bible verses of all time is verse 13 in this passage. This is a perfect example of context being the key to understanding.

There are many who understand this to mean that God will give you the ability and the will to do whatever you want. If you want to be able to bench press 400lbs, and you have enough faith in God, God will make you able to do that. If you want to become president of the United States, God will give you the strength to do it and will remove all of the roadblocks to do it. If you want to have five kids, live in a 2,000 square foot house in the suburbs, and be married to your high school sweetheart, God will make you able to do it. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE PASSAGE SAYS.

It is actually almost the opposite. If you read the whole passage, you will see that Paul is saying that he has learned the secret of contentment despite his circumstances, successes, or failures and despite what he, himself, was able to accomplish. If I were to change Paul's words a little here, I would change the word "do" in verse 13 to the word "endure" or the words "make it through".

There will be lots times in your life when you won't be able to "do all things" in the way that you think. You may not be able to defeat cancer no matter how positive your attitude, you may only get a C in that class despite working on it as hard as you possibly could, you may not get that promotion, even though you deserve it, because the boss's nephew is in line for it too. There are so many roadblocks to our earthly views of success, and so much depends on pure luck and sometimes genes, that we won't always "do all things".

On the positive side, it won't matter with Jesus. Yes, we'll be disappointed, but it won't effect our life as much as if our whole life depended on it. When our life depends only on Christ, we can "do all things". We can make it through the death of a spouse, that terminal cancer diagnosis, or that failure; because Christ strengthens us. He gives us hope! He gives us life! He gives us a real, eternal future. And in the end, when all is said and done, and we breathe our last breath, isn't that all that matter anyway?

So, keep working toward your goals! Keep fighting that fight! Keep working to get good grades! Keep trying to impress that person you want to be your spouse someday. Keep working hard to get that promotion. But when it doesn't quite work out according to your plan, don't get bitter, don't give up on life, don't think that God let you down. Realize that your worth and your life is not dependent on your successes but on the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for being my everything and for giving me the strength to make it through all things. Amen.

DEVOTION: Isaiah 25:6-9 English Standard Version (ESV)

  6 On this mountain the Lord of   hosts will make for all peoples
      a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged   wine,
      of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine   well refined.
  7 And he will swallow up on this   mountain
      the covering that is cast over all peoples,
      the veil that is spread over all nations.
  8     He   will swallow up death forever;
  and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
      and the reproach of his people he will   take away from all the earth,
      for the Lord has   spoken.
  9 It will be said on that day,
      "Behold, this is our God; we have waited   for him, that he might save us.
      This is the Lord;   we have waited for him;
      let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
   
  A lot of the Christian life is waiting for the day that God makes this promise here in Isaiah a reality.  Won't it be wonderful?  No more crying or pain.  No more   sadness or destruction.  No more hurricanes.  No more mass shootings.  No more evil anywhere!  Come quickly Lord Jesus!
       Until then we can know without a doubt that God is already living in us!  He has already defeated the devil!  He has already conquered sin and death.  And because   he lives in us and we in him, we live forever.  It's not that we WILL live forever.  We are already living forever!  Alleluia!  Our physical death is not death for us, but only the beginning of eternal life!  We live on, not in some spooky ghostly sort of   way, but in an actual real life state of being with Jesus!  We live forever!
       SO LIVE TODAY!  Enjoy your life!  Enjoy all the things God has given you!  Enjoy your family!  Enjoy your friends!  Enjoy your food!  Enjoy your work!  Enjoy   your very breath!  You ARE living forever, because Christ is risen!  He is risen indeed!  Alleluia!
   
  Prayer: Lord God, thank you for sending your Son to live in me so that I live forever.  Amen.

THE ELDERS WANT YOUR HELP!

The idea of consolidating our Sunday worship services has been brought up at several council meetings and in many other conversations recently and so at our elders meeting yesterday we discussed the possibility of consolidating our two Sunday worship services into one.

Here's what a schedule would look like.

8:15-9:15- Adult Bible class

9:30-10-30- Worship

10:45-11:45- Sunday school, another adult Bible study led by a member, Confirmation class

Here are the reasons for this idea:

It would help all the worship workers- acolytes, readers, counters, choir, pianists, organists, elders, etc. as they are getting spread thin.
Our church would be more unified as we would be worshiping together every Sunday
We'd have more time for Bible class and Sunday school
We'd help out confirmation kids and families if we were able to have class on Sunday
A fuller worship service means more of everything and just a more worshipful atmosphere.

The Saturday worship service would stay the same.

The elders want to know what you think? Is this a good idea or bad idea? Any other suggestions?
