I Will Glory in My Redeemer
Baptisms and Church Anniversary
It could not be more fitting to celebrate another anniversary of God’s faithfulness in the life of Grace Community Church than by witnessing 4 men profess their faith in Christ through baptism. Twenty-four years ago God birthed this church and He is continuing to work mightily to our amazement that He would use us for as instruments for His glory. God bless Tony, Kevin, Mark, and Gene!
Burdened Beyond Strength
I am especially encouraged this morning by the words of the Apostle in 2 Corinthians 1.
“For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. We were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again.” (2 Cor 1:8-10)
The Apostle Paul himself admits that God brought circumstances of hopelessness into his life so that he would not rely on himself. If Paul needed it, how much more you and me. Do not despair when everything around you is closing in and crumbling to pieces. Rather, rely on God; hope in him who raises the dead! In fact, do not wait for everything to crumble! Rely on Him right now. Hope in him right now!
