Greetings Brethren,
What a night we had down here at Faith Recovery Fellowship. We were greatly blessed by a wonderful gathering, where we were all able to meet, greet, worship and learn together. Worship Pastor Tom and the music group lead us with some great musical renditions. That alone was enough to warm the heart, after not meeting for what seemed like so long, was like a nice iced tea on a hot summer day.
Pastor Scott prepared a great sermon for us, as he preached on what it meant to "Live a humble life before God", I'm sure many of us, if not all felt the conviction that comes only by the Holy Spirit's leading. A very important thing stressed these evening, as an inward look at our own lives. We cannot live a double minded or "One foot in with God, One foot in with the world" type of life. This very thing is all too common and all too easy, and we often don't even notice how much we do it. A prime cause in our doing this, as Pastor Scott preached this evening, was pride. Pride is the very enemy of God, and it is the very thing we hold on to in the smallest of things, causing the biggest of problems. Brethren, God hates pride but loves a humble heart. When we walk humbly in this Christian life of ours, we walk with God, and it is at this time we often experience our greatest blessings. Walking humbly means being able to fulfill the Great Commission, which is an amazing gift to us. God's desire is to see His Son lifted up and glorified in our lives, and walking in submission to our Lord, is the first step in a humble heart. There is so much more just this Saturday evening that was given in a wonderful sermon. How we hope to see you next Saturday, until then, submit to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, what a great and glorious King we serve!
Scripture in tonight's sermon
