Growth

I know I have mentioned our young adults group many times in past blogs, but I am just so excited about what God is doing in our group. When we first started cell group training there was only 4 of us. By the last week we had many more people joining us. This is the same with our prayer night. It started small and grew quickly to more than 20 people coming out on Thursday nights to praise God.


I planted some herb seeds for cooking about 4 weeks ago and every day I would take some time to water them and see if they had grown or sprouted out of the soil. Well last week a whole bunch of herbs and flowers had sprouted and I was so happy. I put a lot of work into growing those plants and just like the plants when I see a group of people grow in number like that it excites me. For us to make the commitment to go every Thursday night and encourage others to come has made our community grow. We have our own little flower bed community that is continually growing and flowering.

Its almost like we are living out the book of Acts.

"Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Acts 2:46-47

ITS S.W.A.T. GONE ARMY!

Holy Spirit

Have you read the book of Acts? If you have, think about this:
"The Spirit so active in Acts is the same Holy Spirit that is currently at work in the church today." Have you ever thought about it like that? That is the same Holy Spirit thats working in our young adults group!

Faith That Rests on the Word of God, Not Sight.

I was reading in John last night and came apon this verse.

"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29

When I was at inVision (Vanguard Bible College Open House) I was in a class and we were asked a question. What does it mean to fallow someone you cannot see? I did the wind thing saying. "Everyone knows the wind excists, but they can't see it, they only see the effects. So just like the wind I see the effects of what God is doing in peoples lives, like the wind in the trees.

And if your like me you have friends that have told you something that went kind of like this. "I don't believe what I can't see." However, "Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed."

These are my thoughts.
