Helping Each Other Grow

New Years has come and gone, and now that it's March some of us are second guessing our New Year’s resolutions. You know, we hit the gym hard the first couple months, but now our legs are a little sore, for most of us it's still cold outside, and you are wondering if you can really loose the holiday pounds by beach season.

Or maybe you are the guy who hit the gym consistently hard all year long. You were there rain, snow or shine! You were even there before you ate the Turkey on Thanksgiving and before you cut the ham on Christmas Eve.

Whether you relate to the first group or second group of gym goers, you probably could use someone to encourage your commitment and challenge you to push deeper than you think you can go. But don't worry, No, I'm not a personal trainer trying to sell you my services (I might even sneak you a piece of cheese cake if you ask nicely enough). It's just that we see most churches fall into similar categories when it comes to worship. When 2010 rolled around, some individuals, churches, and ministries committed to pursuing and asking God for more intimacy in worship. While others continued to do what they have always done well, they are consistent, steady. Both groups are in a wonderful God given place, but just like both groups of gym goers, both groups can benefit from someone encouraging their commitment and challenging them to push deeper than they think is possible.

I want us to come along side each other and encourage each other to grow in our passion of worship of God. Share your expertise with us, what are practical ways we can encourage each other in pursuing God in worship?
