weekend reflections
Yeah, yeah; I know -it's already Monday afternoon...but I've just now gotten a chance to reflect on this past weekend, and I'm both pleased and pumped!
I'm pleased because of at least 6 different reports I received from folks who stepped out by faith to trust God in the area of finances after hearing the teaching this week. (I figure those 6 who told me about it probably represent at least 60 others who didn't bother to contact me, but who needed the 'nudge' just as much). I can't wait to hear the testimonies that result from folks who step out in faith to obey God, as Noah did!
I'm also pleased because my wife also taught this message in Shorewood Sunday, but from her perspective, of course, and her emphasis about Noah was simply, "what are you doing for God that requires faith?" WOW! That blessed me and made me think: what is that I'm doing in my Christian walk, not out of habit or routine, but that's stretching me and causing me to have to trust God in order to do it? That's a great question for every believer to ask - especially in the light of Hebrews 11 and all that God's people have done by faith!
I'm pumped because we're just barely into this 'Road Trip For God" series (there's still 10 lessons left) and we're already gaining such insights and practical stuff for today - can you imagine what it will be like by Labor Day? Are you as excited as I am about this?
Another big question: who are you going to invite this week? If you'll bring hungry, hurting folks to this series, I'm confident that God's Word will do a work in their life and they'll find Jesus as a result! Now that's something to be excited about.
