Life Church in October

So if you read the previous post about our first Life Church service, you know how incredibly blown away we were at what God did that night! This past Sunday, October 4, I think it's safe to say we were blown away again. Although the crowd was a little, and only a little, smaller in size, we actually had some first-timers...new faces! Our "Gym Church" was full of little guys again and our coffee shop was full of people who got to hear about Jesus...how awesome is our God?!?

The series that Kyle is preaching is called "No Perfect People Allowed." This month's particular message was called "How Good is Good Enough?" Lots of people think about heaven, lots of people wonder if they will get in, but not so many people know the WAY to heaven, which is through the blood of Jesus...any other way is IMPOSSIBLE!! We are so blessed that God sent us 30 something people to hear about the WAY!



Here's another thing in particular that I thought was neat about Sunday night. The coffee shop where we are meeting actually closes to the public at 6:00 so that we can have our service. Of course, the doors aren't locked, but we do have greeters and signs in place to let everyone know what is going on. However, last Sunday night, there was some miscommunication and as a result, 9 coffee customers wondered in throughout the service, all at different times.

At first, it seemed a bit distracting, as they had to walk right in front of Kyle to place their orders, but then I began to really notice although those customers came in for coffee, they were listening and watching what was going on at Life Church! And although they placed their orders and were only in the coffee shop for about 5 or 10 minutes, they heard 5 or 10 minutes of the WAY that they may not have heard otherwise. I just have to think that God sent those particular people to that particular coffee shop at that particular time for a reason and that He has a plan for them, and who knows...maybe it involves Life Church!

"It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow." 1 Corinthians 3:7

Please Pray for Life Church!!

So we've got a few weeks until our next service on November 1st, when this "No Perfect People Allowed" series will conclude. Please, please, please pray for the city of DuPont. We know God is working in the hearts of people in our city!

Right after our service ended, a lady came in with her three small children to order coffee. We later learned that this lady, whose name is Lisa, very recently lost her husband in Iraq. Will you please join Life Church in praying for Lisa? And along those lines, we have several army wives at Life Church who know that their husbands don't know the WAY and are facing bullets everyday. Please pray for these families and for opportunities for Life Church to minister to them.
