Today we baptized nearly 40 people who wanted to stand up and be counted for Jesus! These days are always a celebration @ Southbrook Church and among my very favorite as a pastor. The name of Jesus was greatly magnified!
Lifting high the name of Jesus didn’t stop there either. I just got home form an incredible Night of Worship that saw the return of Dan Rutty and Sara Scott! The 2 of them joined Greg, Mia and many others from the Southbrook worship team for a rockin time with brothers and sisters new and old!
Today was also ‘part 3’ of our “Game of Thrones” series and the message entitled, “My Empire of Dirt.” Funny how hard we sometimes work at building what amounts to mud pies and stick houses when we could live for so much more in following the One who made us.
Today we witnessed a very poignant illustration of not only the brevity of life, but also the confusion about whether or not most of us are even on the right track. The illustration with the yellow gumballs really makes one stop and think about “where all the time goes” and “to what” all our time and effort go to. I may have said that Ecclesiastes is one of my favorite books of the Bible but I never said it was easy. It’s just that it’s well worth the effort. Stick with us throughout the summer and I know you’ll agree!
