God Still Moves!

What a weekend! On Saturday we had a Back to School Luau, and over 40 students showed up along with the Spirit of God! On Sunday, in addition to our morning service, we had a baptism at a local pond and the church along with the Spirit of God showed up! Then we returned to the church for a Singspiration service and guess what…the Spirit of God moved! There is really nothing quite like what happens when the church (the people) find themselves on the same page, not only with each other but also with God. And while the Spirit has been moving in our midst for a few weeks now, it takes our surrender to feel it. Last night, because of the inspiring music, the heartfelt testimonies and praise, and the prompting of the Spirit, another person has asked to be baptized and join the church. Reminded me very much of Acts 2:43-47, which I will summarize: “Day after day they met together, broke bread, and shared happily and freely while praising God, and each day the Lord added to their group others who were being saved.” Now, while we will get pictures on the website soon and recall what a blessing it was to experience this past weekend, God calls us to move forward…to focus on our future…to what lies ahead. And while we may not know the details of that future, I do know it includes two things: sharing Jesus with others and glorifying God. And when we do those two things, God still moves.
