Scripture: Acts 2:42-47
Author: Dr. Joey Rodgers
Good AM. I have to tell you that I'm just a tidbit excited today - actually, I'm pumped! The reason I'm so pumped is b/c I can hardly wait to see what God is going to do in/thru our church over the next (5) weeks.
Now... you're probably asking what's the big deal about the next 5-weeks. First, I'm excited about what we're going to be talking about which I believe can be life-changing for many of us and for our church. And 2nd, on March 12, (5) Sundays from today, we will be celebrating 50 yrs as a church. That's 50 yrs of ministry in PTC and around the world. 50 yrs of G.C. 50 yrs of God showing favor upon our church family.
To get us started this AM, I have a reoccurring story I want to share that's really not all that unique to me, and yet, it occurs to me all the time.
Almost weekly, I'll run into people in the community who'll introduce themselves and inevitably say, "We go to your church!" Of course, I love to hear when people are visiting or attending our church, and I'm grateful for each family, and yet, I'm always confounded by that statement - we go to church.
This reminds me of a story, several mo. ago, while on my golf cart, I ran into a family who shared w/ me that they go to our church - only I didn't recognize them.
Toward the end of our conversation, the couple asked me to pray for them b/c of some family challenges they were experiencing. Of course, I did - but after praying w/ them, I felt prompted to ask which service they attended, if they'd gone to a LIFE Group or to Starting Point. And they told me they went to the service at the Bridge - which set off an alarm since we've not had a service at the Bridge since Covid. Come to find out, they didn't go during Covid - but went to services at the Bridge over 12 yrs ago and had only attended our Christmas eve services sometime in the past 12 yrs.
