My husband thought today's sermon was pretty good. He does not pass out good marks casually. He is the kind of guy who anytime he reads Scripture he uses at least two translations, often the Greek is nearby. He has a score of Bibles on the bookcase on his side of the bed. If money were no object, he would go to seminary just for the fun of it.
So it was a very good thing that he thought the sermon today was pretty good for we have a new pastor. Today was his first sermon with us. I noticed the parking lot was fuller when we drove up. People wanted to see and hear the new guy. I am at the Welcome Center for the second service every first Sunday, a great place to feel the excitement in the air today.
Will this prove to be true? "When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose, for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord." (Acts 11:23-24 ESV)
It is my belief that churches grow when people are excited about their church. I'm expecting growth, soon we may need a shuttle bus for those who must use remote parking. :)
