Our Vision
Psalm 95: 6-7 6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. 7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of His government and peace.There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Lessons on Worship from John 16:24 John 16:24 states: “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” This verse is part of Jesus’ final teaching to His disciples before His crucifixion, and it provides valuable lessons about the nature of Christian worship. 1. Worship Involves Direct Communication with our father. Jesus encourages His followers to “ask in my name,” highlighting the direct relationship believers have with God through Christ, we doubt when we ask from our heavenly father. Jesus focus on having boldness to approach, Worship is not just about ritual or tradition; it is an active engagement with God not just to ask but to be present and engage with Him, where we can bring our needs, praises, and requests directly to Him. 2. The Importance and place of Jesus’ Name in Worship. “In my name” is a key phrase, Jesus helps open the eyes of believers, highlighting the importance of understanding the “key” not just any key but “his name”. It teaches that Christian worship is centered on Jesus, less on us, the primary reason we are, the very essence of life is Him, and that access to God comes through Him. When we pray or worship, doing so “in Jesus’ name” acknowledges His authority, and power He has but passes it to us, and the relationship He has made possible, for us to ask on his behalf to the Father. 3. Expectation of Receiving and Joy made Complete. Jesus assures the disciples that when they ask, they will receive, and their “joy will be complete.” It is not just a wish, but an assurance. Ask “in my name” and you will receive. Our joy is made complete when we understand our part, coming and making our request known, the key here is “to approach” Worship, then, is not a one-sided act; it is an encounter with God in which He responds. This response brings fullness of joy, suggesting that true worship leads to a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfilment in God’s presence. That’s where we need to be.
