Our opener, Sing the Wondrous Love of Jesus, set the tone this morning. I could hear the congregation singing loudly before we got to the planned acapella final chorus, so my sense of expectation was high. I was not disappointed; it is so encouraging to hear God’s people sing to him! Behold the Lamb of God was a new song for us this morning, and I’m sure it will catch on as we sing it for the next two weeks. It was great to be back leading; the team played and sang great which made everything seem effortless. What a blessing it is to be a part of it.
Pastor Mark pointed out this morning that out of over 100 references to the church, 95% of them refer to the local church. It’s a reminder to me of how important the local assembly is in God’s plans.
