Why we Worship on Fridays |
We worship Friday for three main reasons
First, the Lord has called this ministry to be a support to the greater church. We are what is now commonly being
referred to as a "para-church" ministry. That simply means our services and meetings do not conflict with
traditional church services. The services are for folks who aren't comfortable in a traditional church setting, who
are currently without a church home, who are in transition into or out of a church or ministry, who need healing
because their church family wounded them in some way, or they are looking for intense worship and bible study in
addition to their regular church. We are also a safe place, a healing, renewing, refreshing place for the saints as
well as travelling ministers, evangelists, missionaries and church leaders who have grown weary. Our ministry is
also for people who need healing in their mind, emotions or physical body.
By meeting on Friday nights we never conflict with a Sunday church service. While people do worship regularly
with us and call us their church home, we have no membership requirements and our goal is to help people find
their God ordained church whether that is with us or another ministry in the area. Yes, we are different. We not
trying to build our ministry only, we are called to build the Kingdom of God. Our goal is to see you whole, well and
prosperous in our Lord. If that will happen with us, praise God. But, if His ordained plan for you is elsewhere, we
are blessed to help you find that place in Him.
Secondly, Rev. Cheryl Birch is a gifted preacher and teacher. She has been called by God to travel and teach at
other churches and ministries. By having our services on Friday nights, Rev Cheryl is free to minister wherever
the Lord calls her to on a Sunday.
Lastly, we believe everyday is a great day to worship the Lord and that we are free to choose to worship Him
corporately on any day of the week. While we honor Sunday worship and Wednesday evening worship as
traditionally set by the church, we see nothing in error in choosing to worship another day or evening. As we
studied the word of God we simply felt drawn to the pattern the Lord has set for the Sabbath rest. Whether you
choose to rest Sunday, Tuesday, Friday or any other day, the most important thing is that you have your Sabbath
rest in the Lord!
Hebrews 4:9-11
9) There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10) For he who has entered His rest has himself also
ceased from his works as God did from His. 11) Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall
according to the same example of disobedience.
