Getting Back in the Saddle

Well this was my second full week back at work from our migration to Denver. I nearly forgot how good it feels to work. I also nearly forgot how awesome spending time with our church family is as opposed to just seeing them on Sundays. The summer missionaries are working hard and they are both being used by God to do great things. Last week they helped Hillcrest Baptist Church with Vacation Bible School and were able to see two children come to Jesus Christ as their Savior. They also led worship with our praise band Sunday. They did an excellent job. People were singing and worshipping in ways that I had not seen in our church. We also had a number of visitors in church with us this past week. Please pray that God will continue to draw his flock together for worship and cooperation here in Riverton. This week we are making final preparation for Vacation Bible School. We will be leading a prayer walk and an invitation distribution for familes to come and participate in VBS with us next week. Pray that God will use us to spread his Gospel in our community. Finally, I was reading Revelation 1 yesterday morning and the reality of God's revelation of himself in Jesus Christ came breaking through on me again. When we see Jesus Christ revealed we see the nature and character of God on display. Jesus who lived and breathed and walked with humanity displays to us the fullness of God. When we face hardships and difficulties. When we struggle with sin and with self. When we encounter discouragement and fear. We can take couraged because just as Jesus led his disciples through the most trying and difficult steps of their lives, God is leading us in ours. God bless you all in the coming week.
