Good morning Cedar Grove!

Rejoice in hope!

Yesterday was a great day. With our Agape Feast, Spirit-filled worship, huge crowd, and convicting Word, these are the days that are hard to forget. I pray that we do not see these as outliers but rather how it should be every time we gather. I do want to thank everyone who made the feast so good. It was a blessing to see us have more room with the tables in the worship center!

Today, choose to rejoice. For some of you that is not a problem at all. Life is good at the moment. Things are working the way they should. However, for others, this becomes a much more difficult choice. Life is not as good right now. Things are falling apart. You're tired and you feel weak in the faith. The admonition is the same... rejoice.

How can we do this? We expect God to work in our life. We do not hope like the world hopes. Our hope is sure and steady because our hope is set in the finished work of Christ. So, whatever comes your way today... choose to rejoice because you believe and expect that God CAN.

I love you Cedar Grove. It keeps getting better and better. I will see you at Midweek. Happy in the Lord, amen. Buh-bye.
