Top Five from Yesterday
What a joy it is to dive into Acts for a couple of sermons on the vision and mission of the church. These are the Acts of the Church which is empowered by the Holy Spirit Who is sent by the Ascended Christ. Everything good that happens in the church is poured out by the Holy Spirit Who is Himself poured out into us as the result of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection (Acts 2:33).
The financial report in Sunday evening’s congregational meeting. It is good that RBC gives so that we can meet our bills and support our ministries. That comes in handy. But what I love the most is the way that the giving represents changed hearts. Giving that reflects a complete ownership of God’s amazing gift to us, gospel motivated giving, is a wonderful thing to witness!
Two testimonies of God’s work in Sunday evening’s meeting. I asked a couple of our ABF leaders to pick someone and they asked Sara B. and Kevin L. to share. Both testimonies were a blessing to hear. Both were so different yet they reflected God’s providence similarly.
I felt lousy all day Saturday with a head cold. Went to bed at 8pm and slept through till 6am. I woke up feeling better. I am thankful God provided physical strength for me to minister to His dear people on Sunday.
The opportunity we had on Sunday night to bring on missionaries who will reach Tibetan Buddhists in a very hard to access region of Nepal.
