"Receive"
How much of your waking day is taken up with chores that must be done?
We go through the day, or week, or maybe just the next few minutes trying to navigate the obstacles in our path.
Whether at work or home, these tasks are mostly not optional, and if we just neglect doing them, the result would likely be a bigger mess, and more work in the long run. So we put our nose to the grindstone, and JUST DO IT. And that ultimately shapes our lives into something more manageable.
But the things we do repeatedly also shape and form us. They instil muscle memory in our bodies; and well-worn pathways in our brains.
Do they also shape our spirit; do they form us spiritually? Do these tasks, and the way we do them, mold how we grow and respond to the world God has given? Does it shape our experience of God?
Does the way we do tasks affect what we receive in the doing?
For this Sunday... read Luke 15:8-10
Going deeper... read Luke 15:8-10 and reflect on the everyday-ness of thoroughly cleaning up a house or work place, or any other place. What are the mundane tasks that you spend your day on? How might the task be changed if instead of asking, "what do I need to do next?", you asked, "what is here for me to receive?"

God is in the business of transforming — recreating, rebuilding, and renewing all kinds of things: lives, friendships, marriages, organizations, cities, tribes, and nations. He invites us to participate with him in this. He calls it “following him." We call it our mission.

Worship at Immanuel
Worship at Immanuel is a time for our community to gather together to bring praise to God, to share our lives and stories with each other, and to hear what God has to say to us through the Bible. Our hope is that worship mirrors our relationship with God, and so gives us opportunity as a community to pray, sing, reflect, lament, offer, listen, and respond to the challenges of the Bible. Through the Holy Spirit, we pray that our worship will transform our lives so that we grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Serving at Immanuel
We gather and serve in many different ways - and love to welcome and enfold all who want to walk with us! From setting up for the service, to making coffee, greeting, playing or singing, teaching - there are countless ways to use eyour gifts at Immanuel Community Church!
“Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.”
1 Chronicles 16:29
