vtONE Outdoor Worship Gathering Saturday
Posted by Leadership Team in Announcements, Prayer, Repentance, Themes, Unity, Worship on April 26, 2007
This Saturday, 7-10pm on Henderson Lawn at College Ave & Main St in downtown Blacksburg.
A night where we gather together across ministries and churches as God’s united family in downtown Blacksburg. We’ll have worship and prayer, plus Louie Giglio from the Passion movement will be sharing his heart with us.
Bring your friends (they don’t have to know Jesus) and spread the word. This campus is a broken place and the solution isn’t a ministry or church, the answer is Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for us. The event is just a few days away–help us get the word out!
Since we will be outdoors, please dress for the weather.
If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:12

Spring Worship Event: March 31
Posted by Leadership Team in Announcements, Prayer, Repentance, Themes, Unity, Worship on March 2, 2007

This semester’s worship event will be on March 31 in Squires Commonwealth at 7pm. Come for an evening of repentance, prayer, worship, and unity as we proclaim that Jesus is Lord over all parts of our lives.
Come ready to be challenged about how you can have a bigger impact for God’s kingdom on our campus. Bring your friends, your small group, people from your classes. We’re believing that God is going to shake and rock our campus.
Check back here for more information about the event as it comes in.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21

“And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit . . . “
Matthew 13:23
Join us on September 23 in Squires Commonwealth Ballroom for the fall worship event. It’s going to be a powerful evening of getting right before God, praying for our campus, and uniting through worship. Doors open at 7pm.
Grab some food with your friends after the Cincinnati game, and then come over to Squires for an evening about planting seeds, bearing fruit, and perseverance. Now’s a great time to start inviting your friends, people from your ministry, people who live on your hall, and anyone who needs to be encouraged in their faith.
Repentance
Posted by Zack in Repentance, Themes on April 3, 2006
“When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord’—and you forgave me the guilt of my sin.” – Psalm 32:3-5 (NIV)
Ever had a time when you felt the weight of guilt crushing you and sapping your strength like King David describes in Psalm 32? I certainly have. There is a heaviness of heart and distance from God that results when we choose to disobey Him and go our own way. Typically, my first response is much like David’s: I cover up my sin and try to forget about it. If that doesn’t work, I get defensive and try to justify it.
But as we see above, God doesn’t want us burying our guilt or justifying our sin. He simply asks that we acknowledge our shortcomings, repent of our sin, and be reconciled to Him. It takes a humble heart to come crawling back to the Father after selfishly and stubbornly turning our backs to Him, but only then do we find forgiveness and re-enter the joyful, fulfilling life God has in store for us.
As vtONE approaches, prepare to worship the Lord in freedom and joy with no business left undone. Confess any sin that you may be trying to bury alive or justify, and He will forgive your sins and purify you from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
