The Verdict, Preaching at Christian Revival Church, Praying for Ecuador Missionaries (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/14)
Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Micah 1-7
I know that many are upset over the verdict from the Zimmerman trial. But we must not allow it to take our focus away from worshiping Christ. Instead of dwelling on the "not guilty" verdict from a fallen, human justice system, we should dwell on our "not guilty" verdict from God because we have placed our faith in Christ and have been forgiven! God is the ultimate judge and we can trust Him in this situation. Our mission is ever more clear: spread the Gospel, disciple our children, and make disciples of all nations! Let us pray for the Martin family as they grieve the loss of their son and pray for Zimmerman that God would have mercy on him and save his soul. I love this post from Trillia Newbell call "Not Guilty: Now What?".
Mt. Zion is currently collecting back to school supplies and toiletries for West Cary Middle School and the Home for Children in Oxford. All members are asked to participate by donating needed items by zones. See each zone's requested items listed above the designated collection boxes and on the flyers available at the Welcome Center. The collection drive will continue through August 17th. This is a great opportunity for our church family to serve and be a blessing to our neighbors.
At 5pm, I preached at Christian Revival Church in Apex for their 12th Founders Day Celebration. My text was Habakkuk 3:1-2 and topic "A Prayer for Revival". We don't need superficial religion, we need revival. Religion is the work of man, but revival is the work of God. Like Habakkuk, let's cry out to God for revival to come in our day and in our time!
Let's remember to pray for Ecuador Missionaries this week. Pray that they will have fruitful time of ministry and that most of all God would be glorified. Soli Deo Gloria!
