Truth Project Pt. 6

This Sunday as we continue our journey with the sixth week of the Truth Project, we are going to talk about “History: The Importance of Remembering the Past.”

When we forget the past we lose the anchor that keeps us from drifting. When we forget the sacrifices made for our freedom we start taking that freedom for granted. And when we forget our spiritual roots we begin drifting away from God.

As a nation we have tried to keep our history alive through monuments. We have monuments to various wars. We have museums that contain artifacts that tell the story of the past. We place monuments in cemeteries and study family genealogical records, all in an attempt to keep our "history" alive.

This Sunday we are going to talk about the importance of doing the same thing in our spiritual lives.

From the very beginning of Israel's history in Exodus 13 God made a habit of building monuments and establishing symbols that would keep people informed.

They were designed to make people stop and remember God's power, God's love, and God's faithfulness. This Sunday we are going to examine, why we need to remember, what we need to remember, and how we can remember more effectively!

Pastor Del:

Speaking of history, why do we worship God on Sunday's rather than Saturday's?

There is a pastor on TV, Doug
Batchelor, from Michigan I think, who makes a very compelling case that Saturday should be the Christian 'Sabbath' day.

The subject also came up in Small Group last week.

The best way to remeber God's great works is to spend time in his Word. Thats the history, thats the documented events.

We need to spend as much time in that book, because this way we don't have to remeber, it was already written down for us to read, enjoy, and learn God's great love for us.

In regards to worship God, why is we only formally do it once a week? Why not everyday?

If we take the time to ask, is what I am doing brining glory to God?

You see everything we do, if we do it with the right spirit in our heart and soul and mind, we are giving Worship to our King. Singing is only one form of Worship.
