45 MPH - 45 minutes of Music, Prayer, and Hope
Our prayer is that the worship experience will be more than just a one night stand. We hope it will invoke new insights, questions, thoughts, reflections, ideas, etc., and open your heart and mind to God throughout the week.
This page was designed to give you a flavor of our evening worship service. Initially, we thought we would be able to update it every week, but alas, we weren't able to do this on a regular basis. So, please consider these entries as samples of what happens on a Sunday night!
You are welcome to add your reflections and thoughts in a blog format.
And remember, you are always welcome to share your thoughts, struggles, experiences, reflections, etc., during the next worship experience.

8/22/08 "Living Up to Our Names" The
story of Simon Peter is a perfect example of someone who received a
name that was initially bigger than he was! When Jesus met Simon, he
did an unusual thing of immediately giving Simon the "nickname" of
Peter - A Rock. Now Simon, who was a big fisherman, probably felt the
name was appropriate because of his size and strength, but he was also
known as being impulsive and a bit of a hot-head - not quite the steady
rock need for the foundation of God's church. He sank like a rock
when Jesus called him out onto the water and he cracked when he denied
Jesus three times. But through the grace of God, Simon Peter learned
that only when he relied on the strength of God could he become the
rock that God envisioned him to be.
God has a "nickname" for us that reflects a vision for our lives that is greater than we can imagine. Is it really possible to live up to our names? Excerpts from a sermon by Darren Ethier: "Here’s the thing… God always calls us to something greater and
something better. It doesn’t always necessarily mean a change of
location, or a change of our career BUT it does always mean moving
towards becoming more like Him. To becoming the vessel and instrument
of His great purposes. Sometimes this means something huge but more
often it means simply obeying and doing something small...
"God’s calling in your life is unique and even though He has
prepared us and equipped us for the task , our own strength will never be
enough to complete what He’s called us too… in fact, the funny thing is, the
things God asks us to do sometimes seem a mismatch for what we’re really good
at!
"...Why does God do this? Listen closely - God wants us to
experience His power at work through us. He wants us to know that He is with
us. God’s response to Gideon began with,
The LORD answered, “I will be with you…"
Allow God to be with you as you claim the vision that God has for your life!
