- I am so excited about this Sunday.
- Why is it because last Sunday was amazing and God really showed up? Nope.
- Is it because people were filled last week with the Holy Spirit. Nope.
- It is because God is just getting started with us and this church. You see God shows up every week. The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead is in our midst. The difference is that last week people in the congregation were seeking Him and hungry for more of God. The presence of God is there we just have to be willing to go after it.
- Will the service go the same way? Probably not. There is no magical formula during the service that will cause the Holy Spirit to move in a certain way. The Holy Spirit will draw men and women towards Him, He will convict people of their sins. But to come expecting the service to go the same way is foolish. We should be asking God for more.
- Romans 6:1-4 1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
- In fact we should come expecting even more for the service. We should come expecting to hear the word of God preached and challenge our hearts.
- We should come ready to worship and give God our all. Not worrying what people think around us.
- I am excited because the God I serve is alive and is drawing new people every week to come and hear the word of God preached and lived.
- We are a community who Loves God, Loves People, and Loves Life.
