We started our summer series Revive out of Nehemiah. If every week is as good as this one I'm not sure I'll be able to stand it. What a challenging message reminding us that We are in the People Business.
Our first challenge was to allow the Holy Spirit to be the gatekeeper of all our gates. Those being our eyes, ears, mouths. Let the Holy Spirit take over, praise God with music, live out His Word and revival will happen.
Our other challenge was to honor the past without living in the past. Our methods must change in order to reach people. We aren't in the building business or the program business. We are in the people business. We must sacrifice, give, and labor for those who are not yet part of the kingdom or are not here yet. Some churches had rather die than change and we don't want to be one of those.
Thankful for our time of worship! Thankful for another fabulous message that pushes us closer to being all God has called us to be. Thankful for our new student pastor Michael Hux and his wife Chrissie who will lead our students to the next level. What God is doing at Fairview is beyond anything we could do. We want more and more of Jesus and what He can do!!!
