A Great Missions Convention
Let me take a few quick minutes and review our time last week here at Cornerstone giving emphasis to missions.
One powerful teaching point was to hear our Wednesday night guests tell about their journey in their walk of faith in Jesus. After telling of some powerful testing times and learning to really trust Jesus through it, they gave a great teaching point. God is concerned about us, but He is especially concerned about our journey with Him. The things we learn in the process of life, the lessons learned through daily life make us strong spiritually.
Faith is like a muscle. When it doesn’t get used it becomes flabby and weak. When it is used it becomes stronger. How often we wish that God would simply wave His hand and make everything perfect. Some day we will live in His perfection, but it is not His plan for us to live there at this time. He is teaching us to trust Him.
Our missions time also showed us the amazing need that is still out there in the world for people to have the opportunity to hear the message of the love of Jesus. There are still billions who have not heard yet. The message must get out.
Just a few short thoughts today. Think about your journey and walk of faith in Jesus. Think of what He is teaching you. I trust you are learning the lessons in God’s lesson plan for your life.
