I am extremely relieved today; I have managed to do 2 jobs at work which were really bugging me... you know the sort that you remember when you wake up at 2am?!
Hurrah the jobs are out of the way... I'm sure another 2 will replace them equally as quickly, but for the moment I'm enjoying the respite it's bringing!
I'm going to see Alice in Wonderland tomorrow...! In 3D! I am slightly excited about that I have to say - especially as there will be friendship, chat and munchies involved!!
On another note; Jon and I went to a different church on Sunday; and we were so blessed. The fellowship there were warm and friendly, and we felt at home straight away. The pastor preached with challenge, rebuke and encouragement - to himself as well as his congregation.We'll be back there next Sunday; and then away for Easter.
In the morning he preached from the end of Matthew 9, where the 2 blind men cry out to Jesus the son of David to have mercy on them and heal them; and then the Pharisees acuse Him of performing His miracles by the power of the Devil. The pastor asked us, who do we see Jesus as - because we either see Him as the son of David, the phrophisied Messiah, or we see Him as the son of the devil.
In the evening he preached again from the same passage, but a little later on; 5 points for Church growth, 1) Preach the gospel 2) from a compassionate heart 3) seeing the need around you 4) Praying 5) recognising that it's God's church.
Again a real reminder that everyone in the church is a labourer, not just the pastor; and that the work is the Lord's - a real encouragement and a real challenge!
