About Sunday

A few thoughts on the wonderful time we shared together in worship Sunday.
1. No doubt God was in the house. The Holy Spirit prompted me to open up the second service in a time of prayer. It was obvious that many folks needed that time. I'm glad I obeyed the Spirit.
2. The worship time was truly anointed. I never cease to be amazed at how "the Spirit of the Lord inhabits the praises of His people."
3. Yes, I did say that if you wanted to learn more about the issue of tongues come back next Sunday. Lay down your traditions at the door and open your heart to the Word of God.
4. And yes, I did say that even though spiritual gifts aren't odd and freaky, there are a lot of odd and freaky people who claim to have spiritual gifts.
5. The main point about spiritual gifts is that they are given for the common good of the Body of Christ. It's not a spiritual gift that is to be used in the church if it doesn't build up the church.
6. When I said I didn't have the gift of healing, I didn't mean that I won't pray for you if you need to be healed. The Holy Spirit is the One who does the ministry of healing and He can do so thru anyone He chooses. It's sort of like the spiritual gift of evangelism - not everyone has the gift of evangelism, but all Christians are called to evangelize the lost.
7. I hope this series is serving to clear up a lot of the confusion that has entered the Church today. I want only the truth from God's Word, don't you?
8. Thanks for your continuing prayers for my leg. It gets better with each passing day.
As always, I am so honored to be your pastor. These days are the best of my life and I look forward to what God has in store for us in the future.
See you next Sunday - Bring someone with you! And get here early. Because of the sermon topic, I am expecting a large crowd.
