Rejoice and have faith for greater things

We had a lovely Sunday yesterday. We had cause to rejoice over a number of things.

It was great to enrol Tyler Gibbons as a Junior Soldier.

There were also some unchurched people in the meeting whom we have been praying for.

Brian was thanking God that his health has been good during the winter, a time when he is particulalry vulnerable to infection.

Praise the Lord!

We ended the meeting with the song Greater Things, singing with passion, tambourines playing and flags waving. Alan led us in worship in the evening and talked about how we must take steps to create an atmosphere of faith.

I spent a couple of hours in prayer last night. The Sunday before this I had asked our evening congregation to seek the Lord about what season we are in as a corps. During my prayer time I kept coming back to the thoughts about faith during the day. This is a time to exercise active faith. By that I mean not just a vague belief that things might get a bit better if we pray a bit more but faith to step out, take a few risks and enter some new territory.

Are we up for it?

Greater things

Give us faith, O Lord we pray

Faith for greater things

God bless
