Serve The City, July 30 - August 12
Our church is going out into the community to lead tons of different service projects in an annual initiative we call Serve The City. We’ll be serving in our local schools, senior and community homes, homeless ministries, and much more. To find a project to get involved with, visit onelifeknox.com/servethecity or use the Serve The City card in your chair.
Next Sunday in Kid City - Travel to the Future
For our last stop on our summer-long journey, we want our kids to dream BIG as we take a trip to the future! We'll spend a whole day helping kids explore what they want to be when they grow up. Come dressed as what you want to be and get ready for a day full of fun! Parents - stop by the passport booth before or after the service to make a video memory to wrap up the summer! Plus, there's baby photos of your child's small group leaders that we've turned into a fun activity as well.

Matthew 15:7-9 NLT
7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, 8 ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’ ”
BOTTOM LINE:
Worship:
To honor as the thing of highest importance and act accordingly.
To prize above everything else.
John 4:23 NLT
23 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.
Luke 10:27-28 NLT
27 The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” 28 “Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!”
Heart - the most affection.
Soul - the most passion.
Strength - the most effort.
Mind - the most attention.
