Signs of encouragement!
I saw many signs of encouragement this weekend. On Saturday evening we had a nice crowd gather for worship. The spirit of fellowship was evident. It is a sign of encouragement to see long time friends share in worship and then head off for dinner together. Fellowship.
At 8:15 this morning we had a visiting youth group from Plano, Texas. Fifty-five young people sang and brought the congregation to their feet! For me, it is a sign of encouragement when we witness young people serving the Lord and obviously growing in the grace of the Lord Jesus. It seems like the church is in good hands. Witness.
9:30 service was a real joy to be in. People sensed the Lord among us - "turn your radio on!" There was a sense of joyful reflection and grace in the moment. It was a sign of encouragement. Joy.
At 11 there was a responsive group gathered - we shared in worship together - At communion I looked up and saw our children coming in from CIA (Christians In Action). It is always great to see our children come to the Table. A sign of encouragement. Communion.
My prayer is that all experience the signs of encouragement Christ brings.
Here is the text of the day. "The dead in Christ will rise first and then those who are still alive -- and WE will be TOGETHER with the LORD forever!" What signs of encouragement!
It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
