Did you enjoy your church sermon today?

[jesusandliberty]

Did you all enjoy church this morning? My pastor preached on "being a good vessel." I always enjoy when we talk about the importance of turning from sin and preparing yourself to do good work for the Lord, I don't think it happens enough in the American church.

 

What about y'all?!

Well sure, even though not in person, and even though I missed the fellowship, I did get to partake in the teaching shared and the prayer time and Lord's Supper too. It has been a bit of a bonus first day of the week as I had good internet reception and the local body of Christ's website functioned.

So I caught last week's  sharing  of Psalm 3, this week's sharing from Galatians 4, and was also led at WCF to listening to a presentation  from George Whitten dating back to 2017. All of which has been most calling to me, not comforting, but calling.

Been at a bit of a standstill lately, perhaps for good reason  or at least to serve the good purposes of God. I do not know for sure. Today  has been a shot of adrenaline to my own spirit. Hopefully a call to action and not simply a so what moment in the time allotted to me. I am still kinda pumped this evening.

Love it! I will pray you break out your standstill!

I thoroughly enjoyed mine. We had a guest preacher by the name of RJ, and he was preaching out of Isaiah 6 on the importance of getting out there and doing the Lord's work.

We were traveling and went to a small community ekklesia/gathering in a somewhat remote mountain village. It nourished my spirit and I had a real sense of family with these ones, even though we'd never met before.   One elder asked for prayer and praise reports, and there were a number who spoke up.  Another elder gave the message and it was edifying  --> I thank the Lord for the experience and that He has a testimony in this remote area!

Nice! Very important topic.

Love it! There's a certain pureness about remote communities you don't always have in urban settings.

I did enjoyed most of it.   We are visiting family and had to watch on a Facebook telecast.  It had some network problems that don't usually occur; so we missed a few minutes of it.    Our pastor preached on the letter to the church in Philadelphia

[Who me]

Very much so, a encouraging uplifting sermon on Jexus the Man of Joy.

Not something I thought about, pastor had found a number of texts talking about the Joy Jesus 3xperienced.

Hi @jesusandliberty There is - potentially at least - more scope to keep 'looking unto Jesus' (Hebrews 12.2), perhaps..........
