Weekend Service

I trust that each one of you are enjoying a restful and relaxing Labor Day weekend.  It is always a blessing to see our schedules slow down somewhat and to be able to enjoy some time of relaxation with family and friends.  We have been able to spend some time with our children and grandchildren this weekend and we were also blessed to have a portion of our family in service with us yesterday at New River Worship Center in Radcliff, KY.  It is always a blessing to be able to worship together with our extended family.  Due to my schedule the past several years those moments of "family worship" have been few and far between and I truly cherish those moments in which our children and grandchildren are able to be in church service with us.  I will take a moment and encourage all parents to teach your children the importance of attending church.  I am thankful that I was raised in a home that emphasized the importance of church attendance and the importance of worshiping God.

We enjoyed a wonderful service yesterday as I ministered at the new church plant in Radcliff, KY.  The favor of the Lord was very present in the service from the beginning as we celebrated Communion as the family of God.  It is a great blessing and honor to be able to obey God and put into practice those Biblical principles that bring the presence of Life and Strength among the people of God.  The time of worship and praise was encouraging and enlightening.  The Spirit used our Worship Leader to remind us that we need to believe Christ and not just believe in Him.  I truly desire to believe what Christ is saying to the church in this present hour.  The ministry time of the Word and the prayer time after the message was very powerful.  I am fully convinced that God will meet with us as we respond to His invitation.  The Word of God still declares that as we "draw near to God, He will draw near to us" (James 4:8).  We were able to witness that promise fulfilled in the service on Sunday at New River Worship Center.

I encourage you to come and visit with us if you live in the Radcliff/Fort Knox, KY community.  Feel free to contact me if you have any family or friends who live in the area or if you have family or friends who are presently stationed at Fort Knox in Kentucky.  We also ask for your prayer covering as we seek to follow the leading of the Spirit as we reach out to people with the message of the Gospel.
