Amazing Church

I enjoy God letting me see things lately. Again I was amazed by the love of the saints of Harvest for one another this past Saturday at the wedding of BJ and Lisa and at the reception. I saw people tirelessly serving just to bless Bj and Lisa and their families. Even in the midst of very difficult personal grief for some. And the joy that flowed from the hearts of all in attendance toward the bride and groom. This love is a testimony to me that I serve with those who are disciples of Jesus!

Wonderful Sunday

I've heard it said, and rightly so, that Sunday worship time is not a time to spectate. We come to serve, to worship, to encourage others. But today I was greatly blessed by what I heard and saw. I just kind of took it all in, and the presence of Christ among his people today just caused me to have sweet joy and appreciation for the effectual grace of God in his people. From announcements of joyous occasions-wedding, new baby announcement- to seeing a new worship band led by a guy leading the Sunday worship for the first time with all young people, I was very blessed. And again, Christ was lifted up as the only source of right relationship and justification with God. I am privileged to be a part of the family of God!
