Weekend Reflections

I was blessed to be able to enjoy a spiritually challenging as well as fulfilling weekend. The Spirit of the Lord challenged my heart at a Minister's Conference in Kentucky. The Friday evening service was led by a group of "on-fire" youth who love Jesus Christ and they are not ashamed of Him. Saturday's service included a testimony/sermon by Dr. Tom Renfroe who received a dramatic healing from cancer in 1997. These services reminded me of the Awesome power of God and they also served as a reminder that we have a responsibility to share the Good News of the Gospel with this world. Sunday morning found me sharing the Gospel at New River Worship Center in Radcliff, KY. The presence of God was very near as we celebrated Communion as a family of God. The call to Worship as well as the entire Worship service reminded us that God is still able to meet our needs as we continue to put our trust in Him. I then proceeded to remind the congregation that we can trust God as He leads us into the destiny of our future. We are living in perilous or dangerous times but we can take courage as we realize who is walking with us and in us on this journey. Do not be discouraged or overwhelmed; God is still at work in the lives of His children. Trust in Him and in the promises of His Word.
