Monday Night Prayer

Not to post twice in one hour, but I do have other news that I want to share. 

In my last post I talked about how awesome I am feeling in the Lord right now, how I know that God is doing great things and all that good stuff. So here's what I want to share with you now: the reason God is moving is because we, as a church, are moving.

Sometimes I think, I mean I know, that God is wanting us to make the first move. He wants to see if we really trust Him. I think every choice we make is a test to see how faithful we are going to be to pursuing God's will. So if we want to see growth in the church and in our own spiritual lives, the thing to do would be to start growing. The Bible tells us that if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us.

So one thing we have started doing just this summer at Hope is Monday night prayer. Now, the people in our church are praying people, I know. But we have not had corporate prayer like this in a while. So after Rebekah and I spent so much time with the Bowling Green church, in their corporate prayer, we really felt it was a good idea for Hope to do that as well. And we have seen great things happening already! People are drawing near to the Lord, and our services have been more and more powerful. Whoo hoo!
