I preached my first Sermon upon taking possession in this new location and facilities on March 18, 2018. We have now been located here for 7 months and we’ve seen God do some amazing things. Notice all that God has done since our ministry has changed locations:
These 14 ministry events are in addition to our ongoing programs of Sunday School, Women’s and Men’s Ministry Bible Studies, Student Ministry Fellowships and Bible Studies, Church Committee and Team Meetings, Visitation Ministry and Wednesday Night Prayer/Bible Study Ministry. I have not even mentioned the sweat and labor it took to renovate the upper building in which we now worship. All this ministry, time and service has been for Jesus. There is no way to measure exactly how everything planned, supported by volunteers and under-girded with God’s money has impacted the lives of people outside our church. Yes, we have seen new people attend and new members join, but not nearly as many as all those in whom the seeds of the gospel has been planted through our total ministry. One thing is for sure and can be stated with certainty. Since moving to this new place, our church has not lost one step or one ounce of its energy in its ongoing service for the kingdom of God.
Remember what I preached 7 months ago on our first Sunday in this place. The title of the sermon was, “Paul’s May-Be’s for Grace,” from Ephesians 3:14-19. Remember what the “May-Be’s” were?
I plan to preach that same passage again today, because these 3 “May-Be’s” never change. The question is after 7 months of ministry here, are we STRONGER, MORE SECURE AND BECOMING FULLY SATURATED in Jesus who has called us and equipped us to serve Him here?
Paul said to the church at Philippi;
“Brothers and Sisters, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but on thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14)
Grace Baptist Church is a PRESSING ON church. We PRESS ON to become all that Jesus wants us to be.
