This evening I met with a small group from my church. Afterwards, I can not help but be thankful for the fellowship, encouragement and companionship of other Christians.
I am very blessed to be involved in two regular gatherings of believers. On Monday nights, a group of young men meets for a Bible study hosted and lead by my Dad. On Wednesdays, I go to a Mars Hill small group up in Greenlake.
In the last few weeks, both groups seem to have hit upon the same themes of emphasizing personal prayer and matching deeds to our faith. In Dad’s group, we recently finished a study of James and are currently using Tozer’s Pursuit of God to help guide and inspire us towards a closer personal walk with our Creator, Savior and Guide. In the Wednesday night group, we’ve been discussing how to glorify God in our everyday lives, a conversation that keeps coming back to the need of the Church to pray and to spread the Gospel.
These are the same areas that God has been revealing to me as needing particular attention in my own life. It is so encouraging to have other brothers and sisters who feel the same calling and share my desire to better know the Holy One and serve him here on Earth.
