Let me introduce you to my husband, Josh! He serves as a Worship Pastor at Coastal Community Church in Coconut Creek, FL. This summer, Josh is co-leading a music Connect Group to join together in song writing and creativity. I can't wait to hear the results! I am so thankful for this community and Josh's heart for our Savior, Jesus.
I would love to share some of Josh's thoughts on worship::
One of the most influential things I’ve learned about worship is that it does not stop. We’re always worshiping something. Harold Best says in his book Unceasing Worship, “When we sin, worship doesn’t stop. It changes direction.” When I sin, I take my eyes off the cross of Christ and become an idol worshiper. Regardless of my struggles and failures, Jesus is my Savior, Healer, Rescuer, Redeemer, and my King. I long to see people come to know Jesus and take their passions and use them for his glory. Just as Jesus invested in a very focused group, I long to be in a community that is sharing each other’s joys, sorrows, struggles, practices the spiritual disciplines necessary for a growing relationship with Jesus, keeps each other accountable, and carries each other’s burdens. I dream of a group like this that lives to be like Christ and shares his message of salvation and eternal life. In the words of singer/songwriter Jon Foreman, “I wanna thrive, not just survive.”
