Good morning PCF family, what a wonderful service yesterday! I want to add a little bit more to the message I gave yesterday. And this is very important. I mentioned that the historical story of Nehemiah, like most other stories in the Bible, is also a metaphor for a deeper spiritual message. Nehemiah was the vessel God chose to initiate, then motivate, and complete the walls and Gates of Jerusalem which had been destroyed by the Babylonians many years before. This story illustrates that we can do many good works like Nehemiah. We can build temples, fix walls, build gates, and even get people back to church, but still find ourselves short when it comes to being able to impress God! As you read on through the Bible after the book of Nehemiah, God’s people “Drift Away from him again. BUT, “when the time was just right, God sent us His son Jesus! And thru him, “all work” is now complete. There is only one thing left for us to do at this time in history, accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Believe in Him and what He has accomplished for all time. “It is Finished!” Now that is Good News on a Monday morning.
Congratulations to the Adjugah family on the celebration of the dedication of their son Mikel. I love bringing the little ones into the church family for that is our future.
