Got Praise?

The Bible says that God dwells in (inhabits) the praise of His people.  I praise God for my church – I love my church!  In case you don’t remember, YOU are my church.  It’s not a place, not a single day, and certainly not a building.

I praise God for you.  I praise God for Ben Williams who did a great job delivering his first message last Sunday.  I praise God for our worship and media team, Unplugged teens team, KidsRock team, First Impressions team, Ronnie, Kathy, and Edie – the behind the scenes team.  I praise God for you who support us financially and especially you who show up every Sunday to grow closer to our heavenly Father.  I praise God for you church, for being Jesus to each other – to those in recovery, to those who are wrong and need forgiveness, and for those who are experiencing loss of loved ones (I’ll miss you Jim Sweeney).

I’ve never felt closer to God than at Rock Spring, but maybe it’s not that Rock Spring is special – it’s you who call it home.  I praise God for you.

This Sunday, I will wrap up the series, “Evolution Resolution” – know what you believe and why you believe it.  I will share this thought:  while you and I can’t prove God to others, God is ready to prove Himself to you.

See you Sunday!

Pastor Mike
