Sisters and brothers,
Happy Monday to all! Yesterday we turned our eyes to the only One worthy of worship and praised Him for who He is and all He has done. Then from Acts 11, we thought about the march of God in history and remembered that history is “His story.” We saw this as God moved to bring people from every tribe, language, nation, and people into His Kingdom to worship Him and bring Him glory forever. We understand that God will provide gifted people to help His children join Him as he marches. We also know that God’s people will care for each other and those around them. God is bringing about His purposes in the world. This world will one day become like the Garden of Eden, completely restored. Evil will be completely destroyed. As God marches on, we need to make sure we do not seek to hinder His work. We need to make sure we are willing to serve Him unnamed and unknown. God will completely bring about His redemptive plan for this fallen world. I pray we all join Him in this work.
On Sunday June 29, weather permitting, we will hold an outdoor worship service followed by a picnic on the property. We will have a special time for our worship gathering at 9:30 AM. There will be no Bible Study on that morning.
Remember to keep praying continually for each other. None of us know fully the burdens our brothers and sisters in Christ might be carrying.
Love being your pastor!
Bob Ray, Pastor, East Madison Baptist Church
