“This Is Church” – Birth of a Miracle
Scott Hoffman
(Acts 2:43-47)
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. - Ephesians 3:20-21
Because we serve a risen King Who overcame sin and death, and is alive today, we, too, have received power to be His witnesses in His church, and to the ends of the earth. (see The Acts of the Apostles)
Although Pastor Vincent is on sabbatical —we are not. In his absence, we are to be a church that has grown — not one which has just gotten by. God has provided “exceedingly, abundantly” for us! (Eph. 3:20-21)
Let us pray every day. Let everything be under-girded with unceasing prayer. Let us be honest with God . . . and bring all our concerns to Him; let us pour out our hearts to a God that hears . . . Let us pray — and listen.
Let us be in the Scriptures. His revelation; our manual for living. . . being transformed by studying and meditating on the Word of God.
Let us grow together. Corporately. Let us spend time praying and seeking God’s will together, and believing Him for miraculous signs and wonders in our midst. Let us fellowship; get to know one another’s needs. BE the church. . . . show the world that we are His Church. . . asking God for His unique call on our lives to serve here at Grace — and beyond. Let us figure out what it is that God has called us to do, and step up — together . . .and do it!
Let us give! Let our giving go UP over the summer — instead of down. Let us test God in this! (Malachi 3:10)
Finally . . . Let us be ready; prepared; dependent upon the Holy Spirit.
A birth of a miracle is taking place right here at Grace Christian Church. Are you in?
