1/1
It was a special day at LebanonRoad. (Of course, every LordsDay
is special!) The rain may havecontinued (and will continue;
haveyour ark ready), but we still en-
joyed a great day of worship.
On Sunday morning, we finished our walk through the book of
Titus with a lesson entitledBe Fruitful! Some said I came out with
both guns blazing and, yes, I did step on a fewtoes, but it was
done in love. I cant tell you how thankful I am that many were so
encour-aging of the sermon. Now well have to see if it took. It was
also great to have songs ledthat were fitting to the lesson. We
sung about working for the Lord, and I hope we were alltaught and
admonished through those words.
At 2:00 our youth group led the worship at a local assisted
living home. Austin preached anuplifting lesson on prayer,
reminding us that God is in control and that we must communi-cate
to have a full and rich relationship. David led singing in his
usual fine way. There were
several others there and they greatly encouraged the residents
by their presence, kindwords, and singing. We have a great group of
young people!!!
Our ladies met at 5:30 to make final plans for their upcoming
retreat. That is coming upthis weekend, and I know its going to go
well.
Finally, we looked at the book of Judges last night, comparing
the cycles found in thatbook with our nation today. It was a
sobering study, but we tried to provide some hope,because God is
still in control.
333 were in our worship yesterday morning, including several
visitors. Also included in thatnumber were Jim Oakley, who recently
returned from Houston with news that was as goodas it could be
about the tumor, and Jeremy Lamb, the 26-year-old who recently had
to havetriple bypass surgery. Both are doing well and we continue
to bring their names beforeGod.
I say it often, but I mean it every time: Im grateful to preach
for such a fantastic congrega-tion. May God continue to bless
Lebanon Road.
