Scripture at Sunrise 4.8.2019

“Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that He opened for us through the curtain, that is, through His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” -Hebrews 10:19-22

Christ has opened up the way to true worship. Genuine worship leads to genuinely serving. As you worship and serve the Lord, He gives direction and guidance.  –excerpt from Pastor Steve Wainright’s Wednesday Evening Sermon

Scripture at Sunrise 5.12.2015

“Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who guards his master will be honored.” -Proverbs 27:18

He who tends the fig tree has figs for his pains, and he who waits on a good master has honor as his reward. Truly the Lord Jesus is the very best of masters, and it is an honor to be allowed to do the least act for His sake. To serve some lords is to watch over a crab tree and eat the crabs as one’s wages; but to set ye the Lord Jesus is to keep a fig tree of the sweetest figs. His service is in itself delight, continuance in it is promotion, success in it is blessedness below, and the reward for it is glory above.

Our greatest honors will be gathered in that season when the figs will be ripe, even in the next world. Angels who are now our servitors will bear us home when our day’s work is done. Heaven, where Jesus is, will be our honorable mansion, eternal bliss our honorable portion, and the Lord Himself our honorable companion. Who can imagine the full meaning of this promise: “He that waiteth on his master shall be honored”?

Lord, help me to wait upon my Master. Let me leave all idea of honor to the hour when Thou Thyself shalt honor me. May the Holy Spirit make me a lowly, patient worker and waiter!

[from Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon]

Scripture at Sunrise 3.2.2015

Sunday Morning | Pastor Steve Wainright | Freedom to Love through Serving | Galatians 5:13-15
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another. -Galatians 5:13-15

Do you do what you do because you’re already loved or because you’re trying to earn love? What’s your motivation?
