It’s Saturday Night, I Wish This Happened At My Church Tomorrow
Tomorrow is Sunday.
Tomorrow is a day that many a church staff have bled, sweated (is that a word?), and cried over.
Tomorrow is what I have heard referred to as “game day”.
Tomorrow is Sunday.
Tomorrow many people are guessing as to what you “need”
Tomorrow is the day that most people wake up, get ready, and go to a building to sing songs and listen to someone deliver words that could lead to life change.
So it’s Saturday night.
What Do You Wish Would Happen At Your Church Tomorrow?
Los
RAIN IT DOWN
People would show up messy and own it, like an AA meeting. Instead of showing up clean and hiding it.
Well said!!!
Love that!!! I agree
agreed. ready. My name is Michael and I am, as always, a mess.
Hi Michael, Welcome.
isn’t THAT the truth! if we could just see some of the struggles of other people— or see that everything isn’t perfect everywhere but at MY house, it would be such a more inclusive environment!!!
I wish tomorrow would be full of true worship, true repentance, and true salvation. Then we would party like it’s 1999, along with the angels in heaven. I don’t care about all the bells and whistles, just give me Jesus and some face to face time with Him along with my brothers and sisters.
That we would stop living for the American Dream and live a life of desperation and dependence on the Holy Spirit and not ourselves
Wow. Amen and Amen.
Tomorrow is my candidating sermon for a middle school position I’m interviewing for. I just graduated college a couple weeks ago and have been volunteering with this group for the last year. I wish my sermon goes well and that I’m able to share my heart and convey it not only to the students but to the committee staring me down in the back of the room
But seriously… I could use prayer for tomorrow.
Thanks.
That’s intimidating!
I will be praying for you!
I wish that people would enter our doors full of the Holy Spirit having communed with Him intimately throughout the week. I wish that we could be silent before the Lord for more than 30 seconds without it being awkward. I wish that we would be ministers to one another as the body and that we would leave more in awe of God and hungrier for His word than when we came in. I wish that we could be silent before the Lord for more than 30 seconds without it being awkward. I wish for true revival in the hearts of people.
Definitely had the waiting before the Lord in their twice…my b.
Salvation, healing, total life change – people meeting Jesus because of despite what we do. As long as He gets the glory.
‘because of OR despite’
I think I should sleep now.
Final service drawing to a close but my prayer has already been answered in both earlier services. Thank You God.
I wish people would show up more than now and then and truly take time to enjoy fellowship with each other. I am pretty sure that the Holy Spirit can take care of the heart stuff. Church should be the Body of Christ coming together and fellowshipping with each other. I do believe that is one awesome way to worship God be getting to know those around you and appreciating them for who they are and not just what they can do for “you or your church”. God’s people are truly amazing!
Tomorrow is the day that I pray that I have the courage and strength to preach the message God has given to me without watering it down or worrying about anything other than pleasing God I want to preach like its the last sermon I’ll ever preach amen
If I may borrow from the amazing Hillsong (since I am one of those that usually likes songs to convey things when I dont have the right words)…this is what I pray every Sunday for the church as a whole and my amazing volunteers that I do life with every week.
“Chains be broken, lives be healed, eyes be opened, Christ is revealed.”
I definitely echo and agree the be messy and own it too. I think some crazy things would happen if more owned up to our messiness. Something God is working on in me among many other things.
My friend and I were arguing about this! Now I know that I was right. lol! Thanks for making me sure!

That God would fill me with his Spirit.
My church is in an interesting place right now.
Because of legal reasons, we are not able to meet in our building for the next few weeks and are meeting at several house churches throughout our area using pre-recorded DVDs of the songs and sermon…so what I want to happen is unity despite being separated.
Open eyes, open minds, open hearts.
I wish we’d all show up – staff included – admitting we are all broken & that’s why we’re all here in the first place.
I need a sermon the quality of which convinces me that I shouldn’t have missed 3 months of church. Two weeks ago’s sermon didn’t do that.
Matthew, The sermons by Jeff Griffin at chapel.org convinced me.
Matthew: maybe that sermon two weeks ago conviced someone else that they shouldn’t have missed the last 10 years.
Not every sermon can be the perfect sermon for every person in a seat. Maybe ‘yours’ will be this week, or the next, or the next….but one thing is for sure, if you don’t go…you won’t hear the sermon you’re looking for.
Sunday is OPPORTUNITY day.
Sunday is the day we TUNED up for.
Sunday is for GOD to work THROUGH, and I love it.
Praising Him now for Sunday
I wish that tomorrow, a handful of people would realize that they aren’t attending church but that they are the church.
I wish that tomorrow, those that are almost burnt out would be passionately ignited to continue to serve.
I wish that tomorrow, that person that is sad when the worship stops at the end of the last song, would realize that worship is not contained to lyrics and chords.
I hope that people EXPERIENCE God whether they know Him or not…that we would care more about KNOWING Jesus instead of having a knowledge of Him.
i wish a really handsome, friendly guy would sit next to me. and maybe that he’s new in town…
Love your honesty, Ida! Awesome!
I wish my tweens would be so engaged in the service that they would put down the book they brought to read, or the game they’re playing on their phone.
call me old-fashioned, but I’m not sure why you’d let them bring those items to church in the first place. it’s kinda like saying you wish your spouse would sober up even though you’re buying them their beer.
I get you Jen.
You have to pick your battles—-
i dont have a church… which is problem numero uno… but honestly i wish that there was a place i could go tomorrow and get baptized.
Tell me where you are at and I’ll get you baptized.
i just wish we’d stop doing church and be the church. stop going to church and having church — and be the church.
it’s not the words that bother me (that’s just semantics). it’s the attitude, the worldview, and the reality.
I wish He would send a bright shaft of light upon Mr. Gardner’s Face. Mr. Gardner ends up falling asleep every sunday. He snores. Really, really loud. Oh, and shaking him gentley does not work…it just makes his head move onto my shoulder…and than he drools
I wish (pray/ask God) that tomorrow at church something will be stirred in the hearts of the people there to take ownership of their church, and to take the steps necessary to revitalize and revolutionize our church. And I pray that when I deliver the sermon tonight to the College & Career group, people will come, people will hear the word God’s given me and that it’ll change them.
I go to worship on Saturday evening at my church because I can’t wait to get there and the worship on Saturday evening ROCKS. I love that. I wish that during the worship *music* those who know that we will one day stand before God’s throne and worship our hearts out, would do that NOW. On the flip side, those who don’t know God yet, and have nothing to worship Him for, would see that there’s something going on and want to join in. My pastor brings a good message and keeps our church on target…..seeking God, no matter who or what or clean or dirty you are. It’s AWESOME to meet with God. That’s what I hope for every week and haven’t been disappointed.
I pray for that one new family to show up, one old family to return, and that everyone feels the love of our Savior during the worship or service.
There is a family in our church, all great friends of mine, where the dad is muslim. We’ve been praying for years that he would be saved. I wish and pray that today is the day.
I pray that not one person who walks in the door would leave the same as they came in. I pray that we would all be changed by a touch from Jesus, personal and intimate. I pray that worshiping in spirit and truth would occur and God would be please with our offering.
That Jesus will continue to guide my heart.
Hebrews 13:16
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

I would hope sunday would be game plan day and mon threw sat would be game day – have we turned mon threw sat game plan day and sun game day if i remember my Bible showed Jesus at the synagogue on sat sharing the game plan and all threw the week going head on against the enemy .i could be wrong we may have a different Bible ?
I wish that next Sunday something dramatic would happen. Writing on the wall. The pulput burst into flames and God start talking through it. Something “Old Testament.”
