WOW! I am still rejoicing in the Lord over the day that we had today at church. I really feel like the Lord met with us in both services. Susan and I talked tonight after church about how sweet the spirit of the day was. It is day's like this when it is not hard to feel the presence of the Lord. We had 86 this morning in service and then 54 back tonight. I really appreciate our church and the people who make it up. Again, as I said in an earlier post........God has truly blessed my life by allowing me to be a part of this wonderful congregation.
This morning we continued our sermon series, "Building A Bridge To A Stronger Christian Life" and talked within this series concerning "Getting Specific With Specific Sins". We dealt with the thought of how that one of the greatest things that hinders a Christians walk with the Lord is not dealing specifically with the things that bring us down. How that in order to be that stronger Christian and have a strong Christian life.........we have to be willing to deal specifically with specific sins.
Tonight we continued our sermon series from the Sermon on the Mount. We were in Matthew chapter 5 and we read together verses 20-26 and dealt with anger and the results of anger. We also talked about how that the Lord has given us a road to travel down that can help us to deal with this anger.............and that road is the road of reconciliation. How that when we find ourselves at "odds" with a brother or sister in Christ..........that instead of letting those things fester and build...........we need to deal with them and reconcile that relationship that has been hindered.
Both services were good. Like I said, the Spirit was definitely with us in both services. Makes me hungry and ready for next Sunday. I am also looking forward to our upcoming revival with Bro. John Gibbs. Please pray with us that God would indeed meet with us during these services.
