One in the Spirit

This morning was a tremendous experience. It has taken me awhile to decide how to put it in words. So often, we speak of unity and of being one in spirit. There were 7 that met together this morning to pray for our congregation. It was a tremendous experience of unity. Hearing another praying for common needs and concerns is enlivening. I am more and more realizing that there is a dimension of faith that is best experienced in community. I am extremely enthused and optimistic about Sunshine's future.

God is all-powerful and He is not indifferent about the happenings of our lives. He still has a harvest to which He would send us. We need to pray and we need to pray together. Being an introvert by nature, most of my growth has come while being alone. If I want to practice my golf swing, I can accomplish so much more if I go to the range alone, than with someone. But Christianity is not analogous to golf. We need to pray alone, but we also need to pray together. I believe the Spirit of God was present with us this morning to unify us spiritually as we were physically.

We need to confess right now. We, within ourselves, do not possess what it takes to advance God's kingdom in our world. We need to seek God's wisdom and power.
