Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

First of all, let me give a big shout out to those who came and ministered Saturday morning by going door to door - leaving door hangers behind which share about our church.

It is all part of the bigger picture of "getting the word out" about our church.  More and more people in our area are beginning to find us - it is exciting!

It was also fun to watch whole families come to participate in this ministry.  Parents bringing their children.  What a wonderful way to "coach" your children about the spiritual needs of others - by bringing them with you - and going door to door - letting people know about Jesus!

A big hand clap for all of your parents!

Beautiful fall days we are having.  I love it.  Looking out my window here at the church I can see the leaves beginning to turn. 

It is a wonderful time of the year - sweater weather is coming!

Thanks so much to all of the encouraging words about the teaching yesterday.  It thrills me that God is giving us a big, big vision - with goals to match!

God is doing a new thing!  God is going to do a spiritual thing in our community!

Let me give you the word picture that God gave me last Saturday morning - concerning our church.

Here's what I said (you can listen to the entire message - with the goals of our church - on our church website):

"In years past, we have been like a big jumbo jet, floating through the sky.  Tremendous things took place in the past.  Much ground was covered.  Now, since we have relocated, we are like a smaller, modern jet - just ready to take off - the engine is running.

It's taken us 3 years to do all the flight checks and acclimate the passengers to the new plane.

Some have come on board since we have been here.  Some have gotten off board.  Some are thrilled to take the flight with us - and yes - some are complaining about the trip.

Here's the word of the Lord:  We are just about ready to fly through the skies.  God is just about ready to do a new thing!  A Spiritual thing.  A supernatural thing!"

I also quoted from Haggai 2:9, "The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house," says the Lord almighty."  "And in this place I will grant peace," declares the Lord Almighty."

May it be so, Lord!

May it begin this coming weekend with our revival services!

Love you all......
