Well, winter is officially here in Indianapolis. We had a pretty good snow that fell last Friday night, but it didn't affect our attendance very much on Sunday - we still had 188. I preached from Matthew 5:38-42 on "The Extra Mile." On Sunday night, Missionary Brian Kane from Cambodia showed his presentation and brought a good message on "The Prodigal Sons" from Luke 15. Our church has supported the Kanes over the last five years or so. They are doing a solid work there in the villages of Cambodia - Brian is gifted at one on one discipleship.
The forecasters are calling for more snow this weekend. I am working on a message from Matthew 5:43-48 on "I Have to Love Who?" God is raking me over the coals with it. On Sunday evening, I will continue preaching through the book of Hosea on "Loving When Your Heart is Breaking" from Chapter 3:1-5. These messages are truly being developed and given from personal experiences. God is making me live them before I preach them.
We are having a Ladies Christmas Gathering here at the church on Saturday at 3:00 PM. Each lady is bringing their favorite Christmas dish and a gift for exchange. There will be games and a devotion given by my favorite woman in the world - my wife, Joy!
