Recently, Pastor Brian Rice shared a message on worship as part of our series “I Saw Heaven Opened.” In his message, Pastor Brian talked about the priority of worship for the church and how the book of Revelation reveals the heavenly pattern of worship. Basically, when every created being sees God for who he really is – […]
Today, Worship Pastor Chris Smith shares the values that guide worship at Living Word. Over the years, Living Word has been blessed to have worship leaders who combine their musical and spiritual gifts to effectively lead the gathered church in worship through song. These leaders have also modeled wholehearted engagement as they seek to raise the “temperature” of worship and invite others to come and encounter God with them. Recently, one of […]

This past Friday evening we held a Christmas Night of Worship at Living Word. The theme for this evening was “God With Us” and the reality found in John 1:14: “The Word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood” (MSG).

Easter weekend at Living Word was a beautiful celebration of the stronger-than-death love of God. Our six weekend services were a time for us to come together in worship and proclaim the death and resurrection of Jesus through song, prayer, and God’s Word. On Good Friday, we reflected on the reality that Jesus laid down his life to defeat sin […]

I love the sights, smells, sounds, and, above all, the story behind this season. I love how everything becomes a little more beautiful when it is strung […]
Monday. 5:30 AM You hit snooze twice, hoping that 18 more minutes of sleep will give you that edge you need to conquer another day. But 5:48 finds you stumbling into the kitchen and wiping up drops of your spilled coffee, just before getting yourself dressed for the day and searching for the keys you […]

The Psalms are a rich depository of prayer and praise that capture the continuum of emotional experience – from sorrow to joy, despair to hope. Those who composed the Psalms, the ancient songwriters (including David), give us language to […]
