Rooted in Love
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
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 3:14-21

Worship
Jesus Use Me
Jesus Use Me is the sound of a new generation of worshipers who are moved to live out their faith in action. Believing the Christian faith isn’t just for Sunday Mornings but a daily decision to follow Jesus. Jesus Use Me is made up of musicians and worship leaders from churches across Southern California and anchored by the husband and wife duo David and Leah Gaulton who are worship leaders and co-founders of the Jesus Use Me Movement. Their passion is to unify and serve local churches to see revival come to our communities and cities.
