From Our Pastor's Heart
By Alan Warneke, Senior Pastor
In early November, Lois and I attended the symphony at the
Civic Center Mansfield Theater. As many of our city's
finest musicians took their seats with their instruments, the began
to play. It sounded more like rush hour than Mozart! As musicians
tuned their instruments, it did not sound like music. Then the
conductor took his stand and the instruments fell silent. A
hush came over the audience as he raised his baton. At the downbeat,
a wave of harmony filled the auditorium. The musicians now played in
concert with each other. Together they were an orchestra creating a
sound that couldn't be created individually. I leaned over to Lois
and uttered one of my favorite words, "Wow!"
Jesus has called us to be a symphony. Matt. 18:19 says,
"If two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be
done for you by the Father in heaven. For where two or three come
together in My name there an I with them." The Greek word for agree
in this passage is "sumphoneo" from which we derive our word
symphony. When we are in agreement before the Lord in our lives,
ministries, and in our worship together, the combined effort is like
that of a symphony. Together the unique "notes" of each life
comprise an orchestra that magnifies and glorifies God in a way no
individual can.
Unfortunately, our culture is in love with "solo
artists." Independence is one of the hallmarks of our society. The
high premium we place on self reliance pushes many facets of
community to the periphery - including worshipping together.
Worshipping with others just becomes a weekend option. The hectic
pace of life causes us to secretly wonder, "Is worshipping with
other believers really that important?"
We need to remember that worshipping together is about
far more than simply singing a hymn or chorus with our friends in
church. Worshipping God with other believers is his idea. It should
be important to us because it matters to Him. Worshipping
together also reflects God's nature. God is a Trinity, a community
of persons. There has never been a moment in all eternity where a
single, unrelated being ahs existed! God has made us fundamentally
incomplete. We are designed to find our completion in relationship
with Him and with others in the family of faith (1 Cor. 12, Eph.
4:1-16). Together we form a community in symphony with one another.
Our culture has enshrined the ideal of the lone ranger.
Both that's not God's plan for our worship. Instead, He longs to be
among us as we offer our praise to Him. The result? Encouragement in
our faith, deepened intimacy with Jesus, a renewed passion to pursue
His purpose, and a joyous camaraderie as we journey together. This
Advent, let's take time to be a symphony of worship together.
