What a great morning we had in all 3 campuses! Several times during worship I found myself thinking about the rest of our family spread out over all 3 campuses worshiping together and celebrating God's greatness. It's not hard for my mind to wander as I see people participating & responding in worship in 1 campus to wonder what is transpiring in the other 2 locations. As I see people in front of me being ministered to by Holy Spirit I know by faith that the same is being accomplished in each campus as we come together in unity & expectation.
Several times when we debrief the different services I will hear about how Holy Spirit emphasized the very same aspect of God during worship and I marvel again at how in 3 different locations God is building 1 family. It is an amazing reminder to me that God is building something and as we continue to submit to His leading in obedience & faith we will have the amazing privilege of participating in a work that will touch individuals, families, communities, regions and Nations. I can't possibly think of anything more fulfilling or significant!!
The icing on the cake today was hearing afterward about an individual who responded to Jesus' free gift of grace and accepted Him into their heart. I missed seeing their hand when opportunity was given but I know that God didn't. He never misses one person, and with great compassion and celebration He welcomes another member into His family.
It has been an amazing day and it is not over yet. Tonight we get to gather and discuss 'A Christian Response To Homosexuality' and learn more about how we can follow the example of Jesus. We want to model His example and embrace & accept people, regardless of struggle or sorrow, and treat every individual with love and respect.
