CHU'CH TODAY

Oh what a wonderful time in the Lord we had at the Mt Olive Church today. It was the official kick-off for our 2009 Spring Break Retreat Abstinence and Music Workshop. The Rev. Dr. Kevin Lee of Atlanta blessed our souls on today by talking about 'moving people from my space to God space.'
His sermon was premised on Mark 2:1-5,11,12. Many of us know the text well. Jesus preaching in a crowded house and a man that was lame was taken by his friends through the roof to get to Jesus. Interestingly enough, Jesus told the man that his sins were forgiven, but then just told the man to get up and walk.
How many of us would have said to Jesus, 'hold up sir, I came for a healing, not for forgiveness?' But the man received what he needed because God always knows what we need.
I can hardly wait for tomorrow nights Youth Rally. We are anciously awaiting what God is going to do at Mt Olive this week. It is our prayer that our youth will not only be given the opportunity to exercise and enrich their God given gifts, but that some child will be encouraged to be all that God would have them to be.
