Good Morning Church,
Greetings on this beautiful Monday morning. Actually it was pretty good sleeping weather last night too. I enjoyed our worship time together at South Flint. It was a good service and I am sure God spoke to hearts.
My song picks this week were: "I Stand in Awe," "Come into the Holy of Holies," "You Never Let Go," and "Your Name." It was also good to Annie Assam home from Mexico and she shared a special number with us. My message was entitled, "A New and Better Way" and was taken from Hebrews 10:19-25. We spoke about the fear and great preparation of entering the Holy of Holies during Old Testament time. But now in Hebrews the writer exhorts us to confidently enter the most holy place. Points of the message were:
1. Coming into God's presence is a blood-bought privilege
2. We do it with a sincere heart
3. We come in full assurance by faith
4. We must have our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience
5. Yesterday's visit within the veil is not sufficient for today's evil and temptation
6. We need to quit neglecting to draw near
7. We need to consider how to spur one another on
8. We must not give up meeting together
9. Everything you need in your life is found in the most holy place
Sunday night found many of us out to Howell, Michigan for the closing service of our District Camp Meeting. Dr. James Diehl preached an incredible message on knowing God's voice from all the other voices in this world. The music was good, and the altar was filled at the close of the service. It was a good trip and well worth it.
This week both men and women have softball game playoffs, and the big event is Allison Durham Speer will be with us for a special concert on Sunday night, August 1st at 6pm. She has an incredible voice, a wonderful testimony, and a passion to share Christ through her music. Invite a friend and make every effort to be at the church a little early to get a good seat. It will be an evening of worship and praise. Anyone who receives this email is invited.
I hope you have a blessed week. Till next time, Pastor Don
