I have been rereading the book “The Hole in our Gospel” by Richard Stearns. Stearns, the president of World Vision US, speaks of his journey to World Vision and then gives insightful words as to our call to participate with God being the gospel to the world around us.
Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. For great is your steadfast love toward me; Psalms 86:11-13a (ESV)
March marks my anniversary at Pea Ridge. I just completed my eighth year as pastor of this wonderful congregation.
Yesterday, my sermon was from Matthew 5: 10-12. Jesus is concluding the section of the Sermon on the Mount known as the beatitudes. This particular passage deals with persecution.
Yesterday was an amazing day in Ryazan. I was privileged to preach once again at Hope Church to my Russian Church family!
