Good Morning Everyone,
Our theme for this month: “Boundaries”
Our Bible verse for today: “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV)
Our thought for today: “God will expand the boundaries of our understanding”
I was already an adult when I came to faith in Christ. When it finally dawned on me what I had been missing all those years, I remember feeling as if I had wasted years of my life. I could have spent that time learning about God and growing as a Christian. I felt that I had a lot of ground to make up.
Shortly after that, I came across a statement in a book which captured my imagination – it gave me great hope and propelled me on a journey of seeking God. It came from the book “Lifestyle Discipleship” by Jim Peterson:
“One of the greatest gifts God has given us is the infinite opportunity for spiritual growth. But however much we have matured, there is always more beyond. It is in this that we find the adventure of living. There will always be new, unexplored dimensions of His person beckoning to us. The possibilities go off the chart.”
The Christian life, properly lived, can be an exciting journey of spiritual growth. Every day there can be new discoveries and greater understanding. And no matter how much we have learned or how much we have grown, there will always be something more waiting for us. God is a deep ocean. His wonders, richness, and beauty are infinitely more than we can comprehend or take in and no matter how much of Him we experience, there will always be more.
The promise of Jeremiah 33:3 is true for you too. If you call to Him, if you seek Him, He will answer you and show you great and wondrous things you did not know. One of the best ways to experience God in new and profound ways is in a good worship service. I encourage you to join us this Sunday at Oak Hill Baptist Church. This week we will be celebrating our 75th anniversary as a church. It will be a special service filled with music and testimonies, along with good teaching from our guest preacher Bill McCreary, and great fellowship. The service will begin at 10:30 and there will be a catered dinner afterwards. We look forward to seeing you there.
God Bless,
Pastor Jim
