Wonderful worship

I am a day late posting in my blog after a few weeks of consistence in posting by Sunday night. I could use the excuse that my family and I are back in Ohio visiting for a week......What really hindered me to a small degree yesterday is exactly what I want to talk about briefly today. Yesterday I was honored yet again to have the privilege to preach at my home church, the church where God drew me to hear His gospel taught clearly, the church that discipled me, invested in my family, invested in me, licensed me to the preaching ministry, and ordained me as Hysham Baptist Church called. It is wonderful to return there to see the familiar faces, the sounds of chatter before the service, old hymnal pages' rustling as faithful congregation members ready themselves to sing praises to their Lord, and the great feeling of unity during a corporate worship service. I believe this the legacy that is being passed down at First Baptist Felicity; truth, unity, and love.

During the service Sunday evening I was blessed to listen as Pastor Chad Bevins brought a convicting and inspiring message from his continued exposition from the book of Hebrews. It was the first time in over a year that I sat in church and listened to someone other than myself bring forth God's Word to the people. I am thankful for God's calling in my life to the ministry, but being fed the Word of God is a great privilege that many Christians neglect. Might we be more faithful and diligent in receiving the Word of God, and moving together as the body of Christ in all His congregations.
