What if You Went All In? | Adam Weber

Uh, today though, we are wrapping up our series called On Fire, and we've been saying that every single one of us has a beating heart.

Every one of us has, has a pulse.

We got a, we got a heartbeat, but what God created us for is to have a heart that is, that is burning within us.

God created us to have a heart and a life that is fully alive.

A, a heart and a life that is filled with his, with his, with his purpose and his joy and his love and his passion, and we, we've been saying that when we stay close to Jesus, that he sets our hearts on fire.

And so that's our, that's our hope.

That's my hope for us as a church.

That's my hope for all of us, myself included.

Today, something that we're gonna f- we're gonna focus on is, is, is worship.

Uh, throughout the Book of Acts, when you, when you read it, over and over again, people are gathering together in the name of Jesus for worship.

Just shows up all throughout Acts.

Listen to what we're told about the early church.

It says, "They worshiped together at the temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity, all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all people.

And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Once again, all throughout Acts, they, they gathered together each day in the name of Jesus, and they, and they worshiped together.

They, they heard God's word together, all the while praising God, and as a result, God set their hearts on fire.

Now, speaking of, of worship, specifically over the last year or so, I feel like this has been building inside of me for the last several years, but over the last 12 months specifically, God has just been stirring something inside of me when it comes to, to worship.

Back in February, I was on the campus at SCU, which is a, a college in Lakeland, Florida, where they started a, a church service for the, for the, for the college students.

They have it once a week, but one specific week, instead of going one hour like it normally does, the service ended up lasting 10 days.

24/7 for 10 days.

Uh, this is video that I took from the very last night of it.

I was just randomly on campus that, that, that, that night.

[clears throat] I took it during a t- a time of prayer.

The room was packed full of college students, and, and these students were praying like it was their last day on Earth, and they, they worshiped and they were, were, they were jumping and they were singing and they, they didn't look it, didn't care if they, they looked crazy.

And I have to be honest, as I stood in the back of the room, one of the only people over 22 [laughs] I, I wanted what they have.

As I stood there, I'm like, "I want what they have." And then in June, I was at a conference in Miami called VUCON, and Christians were gathered from all across the country.
