I’ll Do More Than Hear a Sermon

The heart of a worship service shouldn’t be a sermon. “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” (Psalm 107:2) Release the overcoming power of people’s testimonies. (Revelation 12:11)

I’ll do more than hear a sermon
For a sermon in itself
Is not what God has required.
He looks much deeper within
To the way things are.
He’s looking into my heart.
I’m coming back to
Direct revelation
From the risen Jesus.
I’m sorry Lord for settling for a talk
When faith’s all about You.
It’s all about You.
Help me hear directly from You, Jesus.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
