March 9, 2016 Choir Special-
I Choose Christ
This Sunday, we will be in the loft leading worship for the congregation. Our special this week is I Choose Christ. At some point during the week, please take a few moments to ask the Lord to use us in a great way during worship; that we would be broken vessels for His use.
A True Heart
There is a story recorded in Matthew 15:21-28 and
Mark 7:24-30 about a Greek woman, Syro-
Phoenician by brith, who approached Jesus after
he had entered the region of Tyre and Sidon.
The woman followed Jesus and his disciples
begging him to heal her daughter who had an
unclean spirit. O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is
severely demon-possessed, she cried. Jesus did not
answer the woman immediately and was urged by
his disciples to send her away. Jesus replied, “I
was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
The woman then came and fell at Jesus’ feet,
worshipped him and said, Lord, help me! Jesus
answered her, It is not good to take the children’s bread
and throw it to the little dogs. To which the woman

Keep your Eyes on Christ
I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help? My
help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall
neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is
your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your
coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

replied, True Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs
which fall from the master’s table. Jesus healed the
woman’s daughter that very hour.
This woman must have heard the stories about people
who had received healing by referring to Jesus as the
Son of David; blind Bartimeus for one example. She
knew that being a Gentile she had no claims on Jesus
as the Son of David, but she was desparate to see her
daughter healed. To get Jesus’ attention she
pretended to have a relationship with him that did not
exist. After the woman came to worship Jesus, he
exposed her hypocrisy by calling her a dog. (It is
interesting to note that the Greek word for worship
used in this passage means to kiss the hand or lick like
a dog.) Realizing her scheme had been exposed; the
woman approached Jesus from the true position of
her status and presented her plea. That was the
approach which got Jesus’ attention.
In the book of Amos we read where God says to
Israel that he hates and despises their feast days and
sacred assemblies. He said that he did not accept
their offerings and told them to remove the noise of
their music and songs because he wasn’t listening.
True worship flows from a true relationship with
God. One can use the expressions of worship used by
others, but if their relationship with God is not based
on truth, it will not be true worship. God is not
impressed with our methods of worship if those
methods express someone other than who we really
are. God desires truth in the inward parts.
Do you have a true relationship with the Father? Are
your expressions of worship based on someone else’s
relationship? Ask the Lord to give you truth in the
inward parts.
