Are You Convinced?

As we are inching towards the month of June, it is hard to believe that summer is…. HERE! And as we head into the summer of 2007, we here in the office are preparing for several events that God has put on our hearts! Starting construction of Holy Grounds, holding a Missions Dinner on June 16th, holding an outreach at Wrightsville Beach on July 4th, and hold an End Times Prophecy Conference July 20-22. Throw in vacations, kids activities, and we have a full summer!

But… are these just things to fill the days, or is there something more? Sometimes that depends on our perspective. We can have these events, and just get through them… or we can see God at work and engage in what He is doing!

Our Missions Dinner will be an awesome opportunity to be a blessing to a family who has surrendered their life to serving the Lord wherever He sends them (currently Georgia!), hear what God is doing in that place, and engage in what God is doing!

Our July 4th outreach will be an opportunity to mingle with the world outside our church, share the gospel message through music and testimonies, and connect with people who come through, touching them with the love of Christ.

Our Prophecy Conference will be an opportunity to expand our understanding of the end times, and how we can see the prophecies of the bible literally unfold before our eyes!

The Holy Grounds will be a place that we can touch the people in our community in a very practical way.

What is God doing here? He is expanding our borders! He is drawing us out of the church, and into the community. He is making it possible to reach people that might have never come through our doors. He is working in our midst. I am amazed daily at how God is working in our body, and each day I am convinced all the more, just as Abraham was:

Abraham “…did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness.” (Rom 4:20-22)

Are you convinced that god is working in your life? Are you convinced that God is working in our body? Are you convinced that God will perform that which He has promised? For Abraham, is was accounted to him for righteousness.


...till the whole world hears,

Pastor Clay
