"Message in Song"
Matt Allison
July 29, 2007
Here's an instant replay of what happened in worship:
- We sang several of our favorite songs in praise and prayer.
- Matt Allison, a young singer and song writer from Wichita, gave his witness and shared several of his original songs. He had a dramatic experience a year ago of feeling that his passion for music was not being supported by any particular talent or ability. At the end of yet another late night session of hours of practice with no noticeable improvement, he yielded the dream to God and simply asked to be used in whatever way God had in mind. From that moment on his playing and singing and writing seemed to achieve another level and opportunities began to come for him to share God's work in his life. What a blessing to hear from him so early in his fruitful ministry.
- Communion followed a song of response to his message, and we were reminded that coming to the table every week is a powerful opportunity to get in touch with the Redeemer in every changing ways.
- Following a time of sharing and prayer we were dismissed to a few minutes of continued conversation with newcomers and "old timers." As always we were challenged to "Go and serve the Lord."
