Sunday, April 1, 2007 - "What's in Your Hand?"

Days like today are gifts from God...

The service was good, as we had our guests with us. The focus and music and communion were all good as we observed that the Lamb who was slain is worthy to be given all honor and power - and He is worthy to be given everything that is in our hands. What is in our hands? Our livelihood, our energy, our strength - what we do with our hands is what we do with our lives, and we saw a personal demonstration of the power of God working through hands of people like our guests who are surrendered to Him.

The attendance was phenomenal as we had our highest attendance ever apart from a special service - 171! Be praying for clarity as I explore the next steps in meeting our need for space.

But why was today a gift? Because on top of all the good elements of the service, we had two people who's lives were forever changed because they invited Jesus Christ to be a part of their lives for the first time! Two new births took place in our auditorium, and we were there to witness it!

So I thank God for what happened, and what He continues to do at The Journey...
