One hour.

Once a week.

One sacred hour.

In a week filled with 168 hours, we have this one hour to come together with the people of God.

Where everything else goes a little bit more quiet and the voice of God gets a little more loud.

It's the hour we remember who we are . . . . And whose we are.

And in that one hour, lots of things happen.

Hearts soften and tears fall, faith grows, lives change.

And here’s the thing, . . . . You might not remember every sermon.

You might not crush it on every note.

There might be coffee spills and squirming kids and doubts and other distractions,

But God still moves in that one sacred hour . . . . Every single week.

So don't underestimate it . . . Because when you give God that one hour in faith, he often gives you what you need for the other 167.

I think that's why Psalm 84 says it like this,

Better is one day in your courts . . . Than thousands elsewhere . . .

Because time spent in the presence of God has a disproportionate impact on your life and on your soul.
