A beautiful and sweet presence of the Spirit of God filled the house on Sunday morning as we testified in song about the mountain-moving power of the name of Jesus and of the roar of The Lion of Judah! The purest worship comes from grateful hearts, and Father always responds so lovingly, that it leaves us speechless at times- and such was the case once again, as we sang TO him, and not just ABOUT him.

Pastor Cheek brought the message "An invitation to know God" from the 78th chapter of Psalms, verses 1-8. He began with having us go around and introduce ourselves to each other (although we all know each other) to make the point that we cannot introduce a person to someone else unless we know that person first…and so, by the same principal, we must know GOD personally for ourselves before we can ever introduce the lost to him. When we know God as our Savior, as our baptizer, as our deliverer, and our healer, then we can introduce Him to the lost who need saving, and baptizing, delivering, healing…the most effective testimony is one that comes out of personal experience. If we are to effectively witness to a lost world, the relationship we have with God must be the most intimate relationship in our life. Someone once said "it's good to know the word of God...but do we know the God of the Word?!"

Have a great week, blessings to you and your family!
