"I Am Holy and Without Blame!"


CitP blog, 5-13-18, big group and great spiritual food at CitP today

A really nice group at the park this morning.  All “regulars.”  All interested in the Truth of God.

I have begun a series of handouts focusing on “who Christians are in Christ” and “Who Christ is in Christians.”  Today’s topic: Ephesians 1:4, “I Am Holy and Without Blame!”  It was very well received.  The folks are growing in revelation of their relationship with God, and the great spiritual blessings He has bestowed on them.

Barbara had prepared some pinto beans, a la her special recipe.  Throw in some of her great cornbread with iced tea and all enjoyed a good earthly meal to complement the heavenly one God had for us.  It is really a kick to see the guys help unload the truck, get everything set up, and serving each other…then pack everything back in the truck.  They love the entire setting and fellowship.

Thanks to all who pray for God to show Himself strong on these guys behalf.  All had jobs this week.  Rogelio’s legs were “better.” 

Thank the Lord for another good gathering with Christ In The Park.

Blessed with ALL spiritual blessings!


CitP blog, 5-6-18, wonderful day with Saints in the park!

What a great day at Christ In The Park today!  Rogelio drove into the parking lot just before me.  Dave and 1 other were already there.  Wayne rode up on his bicycle soon.  We got set up quickly, had the coffee pot on, and one of Barbara’s egg/sausage casseroles ready to dish up.  Soon we had several arrive, including Rick and Abby who had led out last week when I was at a funeral for my son-in-law’s (Chad) father, Jackie Graff.

Our discussion this week focused on Ephesians 1:3, “I have been blessed with ALL spiritual blessings!”  What a great time talking about Jesus and ALL He has blessed us with spiritually. 

As usual, other questions and issues came up, and the interaction was great.  AND, God has brought one fellow who likes to sing, a cappella.  The joy of Jesus flowed beautifully.

We had a couple of personal sad notes: A friend of Dave’s that he had brought a few times the past few months passed away last Monday.  He had a brain tumor that eventually took him.  And, Rogelio shared a prayer request for himself.  He is having some issues with his lower legs due to something with his diabetes.  So, if you would join us in praying for the Graff family, Dave and his friend’s family, and Rogelio…we would appreciate it.

And, wow!  Some friends from the past few years, Bill and Dorothy, came to visit for the last 30 minutes.  They were a great blessing!

Oh, the weather was spectacular!  FIRST TIME since before December that we haven’t had to put up tarps and use the propane heater!  Can you believe it?!?  Texas weather.  No further explanation needed.

Well, amen!  I can’t wait to see what God is going to do next week also…we will have to wait and see.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all,
Lee
