Recap of 09-07-09

Last night the CR band set the tone with a worship experience that brought in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Then Shawn, our State Representative, brought a powerful lesson on the grace of God. One memorable moment was when he passed out a check from Jesus to us and the amount of the payment was "Grace." We were then asked to fill our names in the "Pay to the Order of" category. Even though it was a holiday weekend, the Lord still brought 82 people and 4 children. Praise be to the Lord and Barefoot Church for giving us the opportunity to serve others who are desperate to heal their hurts, habits and hang-ups. The verses of the lesson are the theme verses of Celebrate Recovery: “But he said to me, ‘My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you.’ So I am very happy to brag about my weaknesses. Then Christ's power can live in me. For this reason I am happy when I have weaknesses, insults, hard times, sufferings, and all kinds of troubles for Christ. Because when I am weak, then I am truly strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NCV).
