The momentum continues to build as we head into the fall here in Rochester at The Journey. This weekend was exciting, with the carwash on Saturday and a full auditorium on Sunday. Our attendance set an all-time high of 118, and new people continue to check us out. God is good, and I am humbled as the Lord moves.
Today was a good day. We took a few moments in the beginnings of each service to remember our country and 9/11, thanking God for our servicemen, including our soldiers, police, and firefighters.
The worship was also good in both services, and to me, the worship sets the stage for the delivery of the Word of God. If people take time to worship, than there is a freshness from the Bible - literally a manifestation of the song where God "opens the eyes of our hearts" - and we are able to hear the Spirit as we read the Word. Worship does that - worship opens the channels in our hearts to the voice and working of the Holy Spirit. Let me encourage you to keep going!
Today I spoke on the 1st two titles of Jesus Christ at the 2nd Coming - Faithful and True and an Unknown Name. I was so excited to deliver this message because of what these titles mean to us, and I felt the response was good. I hope that the Word is not just received and forgotten, but that our people will receive it and meditate on it.
This week, we will be sending $655 more to the hurricane relief to our sister church and relief center, Central Baptist Church in Pasadena, TX. As we continue to prepare for the 40 Days of Purpose, my heart is getting more and more excited to think about what God is going to do!
