“Celebrate with the Pastor” is this Pastor’s response to the goodness and faithfulness of almighty God. What I am asking from each of you, dear ones, is to celebrate with me the “Isness” of God. Let me share with you seven examples by way of elaboration.
(1) God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent (Numbers 23:19);
(2) The eternal God is our refuge (Deut. 33:27)
(3) “God is greater than man” (Job 33:12)
(4) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1)
(5) “This I know; for God is for me” (Psalm 56:9)
(6) Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart (Psalm 73:1)
(7) Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yea our God is merciful (Psalm 116:5)
This celebration is about more than thirty-six years of pastoring, forty years of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or even His mighty healing process demonstrated during my recent health challenge. We are celebrating the “Isness” of God in all of the above and His perpetual presence in the life of this Pastor and in the fellowship of this church. To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and every. Amen (Jude 25)
That is awesome and it demands a celebration! Let the redeemed of the Lord celebrate, those whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy (that’s us folks)!
