Weekend Rewind

BLACK OUT!!!

In the 10:15 service we had a black out, wind and hail, and some trees fell over down the street. When the electricity went out we lost the lights, and all the sound. The room was pretty dark. The sky was pretty dark too, so there was not much sunlight. Since it was pouring and there was no sound we dropped back to punt and wait for the power to come back on. That means we sang a really old song that a lot of people might know by memory while we waited for the lights. Since it was raining, we sang, "It's Beginning to Rain." One of our new members asked my wife what in the world the words meant. It is a song so full of imagery that it can be hard to understand without some discipleship.

Dr. Dale Breuggeman shared two great sermons with us on Sunday. In the first service he spoke from Genesis 12:1-3 as the foundation of the great commission. God blesses his people to be a blessing to the nations. In the second service he spoke from Joel chapter 2 about God's promise to bless us if we return to God wholeheartedly. It was really refreshing to hear two messages so packed with Scripture and information. I guess I have become desensitized by how entertainment driven preaching is today since that is all that hits the web and the airwaves. It is refreshing to get the Word of God.
