We WILL NOT meet on Sunday. Taking a one week hiatus this week. Many of us are traveling this weekend. May the LORD bless you with finding good fellowship and encouragement with saints someplace this week.
When we meet, we normally open with a light breakfast buffet, and invite you to feel free to bring something to share or not. There is always plenty. Around the table there is good conversation as we share our lives and invite Jesus to be central in our gathering.
Gatherings are open and participatory where all are free to share whatever God has put on our hearts. There may also be various times of prayer, and we typically have times of sharing scriptures, and times of singing chrouses, hymns and spiritual songs.
There is no leader, nor worship leader, nor “pastor”, nor any hierarchy. Ministry comes out of the Body, as we all seek to follow Jesus and the Holy Spirit in encouraging and helping one another walk with Him and love and serve one another.
Children are welcome although there is no program specifically for them. Children under 10 or so play together while we meet, older children joining us as a part of our gathering.
What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. 1 Corinthians 14:26
He (God) put all things in subjection under His (Jesus) feet, and gave Him (Jesus) as head over all things to the church, which is His (Jesus) body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Ephesians 1:22-23
Some are traveling this week to witness the last Total Solar Eclipse over the U.S. in most of our lifetimes. So with that…
[Psalm 19:1-6 NASB95] 1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. 2 Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun, 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. 6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
[Genesis 1:1, , 14-15, 17 NASB95] 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. . … 14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. … 17 God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
[Romans 1:18-20 NASB95] 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
The scripture makes it clear God has made Himself evident in His creation! In Psalm 119 specifically declaring His glory and the work of His hands in the heavens. When you look at the sun, do you see the BRIDEGROOM exiting His chamber rejoicing as a strong man ready to run in His purpose? Rejoice O bride of His glory, and run with Him rejoicing in the fullness of His love and purpose.
