Updates on Church 2

I went to Lighthouse on Sunday. This must be the most punctual church I've even been to. I went by myself and I kind of slunked in as unobtrusively as I could at 1112am (the service started at 1115). And almost every seat was filled. This was unusual, considering none of the other services I've been in started on time.

And the praise and worship... wow. It's like praise and worship that I remember fondly from way back in early 2000. They played songs like "Hear O Israel", which I hadn't heard in a long time. It felt warm, comfortable and peaceful. I really really like the worship there. Not too formal, upbeat, unassuming. I really really miss such simple sweet worship. Now strobe lights. No loud drums. No jumping up and down. But this was just... nice. Haha, if I ever join Lighthouse, one of the main reasons would be because of the worship.

I never seem to have the knack to go when there's a good sermon on though. When I went to ARPC, I happened to go when it was "Friendship Day" and they were doing John 3:16. At Lighthouse, the children's service leaders put up a performance. They did a stage presentation of how a lesson was conducted in Sunday School. And the lesson they taught was Faith. Hebrews 11:6 was the main verse for the day. It's about being able to thank God for something that you have not yet received. And yet you are able to thank God because you know His heart and you know His providence. And you also know that even if you don't agree with Him now, you can thank Him because one day, you will be able to understand. I spoke to KK about it in the evening. Today I learnt a grand lesson on faith, which I had always overlooked. I tend to overthink and mull on issues a tad too much. But really, I should leave it all up to Him. All the issues that are plaguing me now are man-made =( Funny how I went in thinking that I would never learn anything from that kiddy presentation and coming up having learnt something profound.

Yes, Lighthouse was good. I think I'll visit again.
