Preview and Prayer
We so enjoyed the presence of God in today's worship service! We always want to be sensitive to the moving of the Spirit and sometimes that means changing the order of the service in real time so that we do not constrain what God wants to do. Instead of our bible study in John 11, we extended our worship service and moved into a prayer service that just naturally worked in a preview of Pastor Debbie's upcoming sermon on the nearness of the Kingdom, and the sending out of the disciples (including Matthew 10:5-10).
We typically do a bible study the first Sunday of the month, but this time we will push that until next week and we just briefly previewed John 11 at the end of today's service.
