Ever sat in church & had the truth hit you right between the eyes? A comment was made from the pulpit that set off a series of wonderful thoughts & you were frustrated because it just wasn’t the place or time to share what was going on in your own spirit. Later those revelations faded before their impact could be fully assimilated into your life.
What if you had an opportunity to take what you heard, add what the Spirit is speaking into your heart & share it with someone else? I’ll tell you what would happen. The truth would become yours: it would become more firmly planted in your soul because there is something powerful about speaking what you believe (Romans 10:9-10). Also, you will have taken what God gave to you & planted a good seed in someone else’s life.
Tonight we are trying a grand experiment. We are going to start the service with this morning’s closing song, give a brief overview of the Sunday morning message, break up into groups & give you the opportunity to share what the sermon meant to you. IF we really believe that God speaks through our ministers, IF we believe it is God’s word for us today, shouldn’t we start taking it more seriously? Shouldn’t we take time to apply it to our lives?
