Remember: God looks like Jesus, and Jesus always looks like Father!
Good Evening Hope!
It has been a crazy couple of weeks in our house, and I want to thank you all for the support, service, and prayers. This week things have started to get a little back toward normal. Both Life Groups that we attend were great this week, and we spent Monday night with the kiddos!
I wanted to share three things with you tonight: [1 question]
1. I am so thankful for the testimonies that I am hearing from many of you right here in the Hope family. We have heard many testimonies in the last few days. Several of these testimonies are about God’s supernatural provision or move during our 21 day corporate fast. I can’t wait to share some of them with you, and have been excited to hear that you are sharing them among each other!
2. Please continue to pray concerning our next meeting location. A couple of people have spoken with me concerning what they are hearing from the Lord. As a body we must continue to seek Father. I had hoped to have more information for you this coming Sunday and will present the information that I have. [We have had a couple of community organizations, businesses willing to donate some materials to the development of a new location. Be mindful of this development as you are praying. God is showing us favor. We need it in such as time as this.]
Last thought on the building: I believe that God wants to move in a new and amazing way in our body. I think he wants to add spiritually and numerically through this transition time.
3. Sunday I will continue the series Awe and Reverence. I want to share a true fact about this series: It is challenging me immensely. I would be willing to say that it is probably challenging me as much if not more than it is challenging you! I am willing to learn and have embraced the process of fleshing out these theological juggernauts.
I believe that the church is in desperate need of recapturing Awe and Reverence for God. I know the best way of recapturing this is through detailed and scriptural teaching on who God is! The more you know God, the easier it will become to have a relationship with him, while remaining in a position of awe regarding his majesty, power, strength, and mercy. Living in awe of the Lord provides many blessings in our life.
When we have a right understanding and view of God we cannot help but have reverence, and out of that reverence worship!
Join us this Sunday as we continue the series with part III: God: A Consuming Fire!
4. Please pray for me and my family. We are getting back to normal, and want to begin to enjoy some family times along with time with you!
My greatest passion is doing the will of Father, followed closely by loving my family (which I know is the will of Father). Please pray that I do this well in the midst of ministry, work, and life.
Please pray for Wisdom as I guide our church through an amazing and wonderful time. We are a meaningful church that is life giving that is seeing fruit. It is a wonderful problem to have and I believe that it is one that we will have for years to come.
Blessings,
Pastor Kevin
P.S. I am excited to see you this Sunday! Remember the Kids are in for a BIG treat and surprise from Pastor Ashlee this weekend! I can’t wait!
