Words of Truth

Arrived at Nancy's house exactly 9:10am, got her pills, her bags and placed her in the front seat of the passenger side of the car. Once I was in, she grabs me, pulls me toward her and says,"I had a shower, smell me," "What's Mark going to say?""Don't I smell good!" This was not at all what I expected her to say and a big belly laugh came out.
She actually did smell pretty good so they were words of truth from Nancy.
Tim Funk had the morning service, he spent some time on build your house on the ROCK, not anything but the ROCK of Jesus Christ. How much we appreciate hearing the truth from our ministers. David Obergfel had the afternoon service and opened to Ephesians 3 read the first 12 verses and sat down. We sang, prayed, he got up and started on Ephesians 3 verse 13 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; May be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, the length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now until him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto HIM be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, would without end.
He spoke then of how he and Kathy drove up to Chicago and once there found out Kathy had to have surgery early the next morning. They drove up with only the clothes on their back, not prepared to spend the night but the calls started, one person offered to drive up the 150 miles with what ever they needed, another called to tell them they were taking meals to their children and not to worry. By the time David was done telling us the story of their week we were pretty much all in tears.
Here was Dave and Kathy completely unprepared for what was going to happen but God had prepared the way and did so much more abundantly above all that was asked.
What a blessing our church is and how thankful I am that we are still able to freely worship our Lord and hear the words of truth there.
