Goodness in a Gym
For a long time our group has gathered in the Public Library for our Sunday Bible studies and worship. But through God's church-growing-grace we've had to move out of the library and into a private school gymnasium. Tonight was our first night in our new digs. Here are some highlights.
- A guy I met in a coffee shop 3 weeks ago is now playing guitar for us—and did an excellent job tonight.
- A number of people showed up early to set up. I always heard it but now I know its true—setup is a terrific time for bonding and relationship building.
- Our group is still learning to sing well together. But we had the opportunity to consider together that all our worship is only acceptable to God through the blood of Jesus.
- We had a ton of kids who were more than willing to run around the gym afterward providing us with the beautiful background sounds of giggling children.
- I had the privilege of preaching Christ from Hebrews 1. He truly is better than anything or anyone else. He is the one that takes a group of sinners in a gym on Sunday night and calls them the beloved of God.
