Thank you for your flexibility this past Sunday as we met for worship in the OC gym. Though it's not the way we would want to worship every week, it really was a unique experience. Special thanks to Clifton Curtis, Steve Gwaltney, Scott Edwards, and others who worked so hard in setting up for us to worship. This past Sunday makes me grateful for a few things: 1) the fact that we had to worship in the OC gym means that we are getting closer to enjoying the Children's Building and other facets of the project, 2) the number of people at FBC who are willing to lend a hand and help out when needed, and 3) the many church planters who have to set-up and take-down equipment each week in order to worship corporately. One of those church planters is Dr. Ashley Austin and his wife, April, in Victoria, Canada. They set up a couple of rooms in a hotel each week for people in the area to have a place to come and have the opportunity to meet Jesus. I thank God for them and the many others like them who are willing to do whatever it takes to GO...with the Gospel.
It really has been exciting to see so many of you attending the Song of Solomon study each week. I really believe that one of the best evangelistic tools is for the world to see Godly relationships. This is one of the most practical ways that people can see the superiority of God. This week, we will be looking at conflict in marriage and how to handle it in a way that honors Christ. Hope to see you Sunday night at 4:55 PM in the OC!
