The Value of a Week of Revival Meetings (March 11th-16th)
4 03 2012
Every yes we make is accompanied by a host of no’s! It is going to take effort and sacrifice for each one at FBC to say yes to coming to the services March 11th – 16th. To help us understand the value of your yes in the face of all these no’s I have put together a simple list of 10 things often overlooked. Give it some thought as you prepare now for this very important week in the life of our church.
Starting with number 10 we’ll move to the number one reason this week is valuable.
10. The Galkin team comes with tables of books and music resources for us to buy. It is a virtual store full of things that can help us grow in our Christian walk.
9. There are multiple ways for individuals to serve during this week. [Supplying meals, housing individuals, giving in the offerings, inviting guests, welcoming visitors, serving in the nursery, etc.)
8. There is a special blessing that comes from seeing a large group of people dedicate their week to serving with us in here in Folsom.
7. There is a special blessing that comes from our children and teens being exposed to a group of young adults serving God with their lives.
6. There is a special blessing that comes from hearing God glorifying music done very well!
5. It good for a us to be in a situation that forces us to pray hard and then see God answer those prayers.
4.There is value to a week dedicated to the constant preaching of God’s Word. The seeming overload of good preaching has a way of breaking through our hard hearts and getting our attention.
3. There is value to hosting a teen night that other small church youth groups can benefit from along with us.
2.There is something very encouraging about being in an atmosphere where people are responding to the gospel and getting saved.
1. There is GREAT value in dedicating our time to hearing the Word of God preached in a “decisional way” that forces us to consider our own spiritual condition and to make decisions accordingly.
I can’t wait to say yes to attending this week of meetings and seeing what God has in store for us. See you there!
