I am alive!


CitP blog, 6-22-18 – “I am alive!”

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved.” Ephesians 2:4-5.  (this will be the handout this Sunday)

God says explicitly that we WERE formerly a dead spirit, but He hath “quickened” (made alive) us through His Holy Spirit which He gave us as a guarantee of our salvation.  Hallelujah!

Dead, but now alive!

Well, we had one of our previous faithful men attendees at “Christ In The Park” back with us this past Sunday.  He had been “away” for a crime he had committed a year ago.  One of his first acts back was to attend CitP.  When I asked him what he would like to have for a treat this Sunday his response  was this: Barbara’s egg casserole!  Well, Barbara is preparing a couple of those for this Sunday morning…

Not only was the fellowship and bible handout great last week, but God gave us some clouds and a nice breeze that made the morning gathering very pleasant temperature wise!  Well, amen!

Thank all of you faithful Prayer Warriors for lifting us up to the Throne of Grace!

Redeemed by Christ's blood


Redeemed by Christ’s blood

How precious to all Believers is the Blood of Christ!  What can wash away my sins?  NOTHING but the Blood of Jesus!

A great day was enjoyed at Christ in the Park this past Sunday.  What an astounding study of Ephesians 1:7, “In whom (Christ) we have redemption through His blood…”  REDEMPTION!  Do you remember the old hymn, “Redeemed how I love to proclaim it”?  I recall straining to hit a few of those notes, but oh how I loved to sing it!!!

Once again, God gave us wonderful diversity of participants…wide range of ages, 3 different nationalities, 1 God.  Well, amen.

Barbara and I were in Colorado visiting Betty Wells just days before, and we recalled the story of how CitP first was an idea from an ALMI/Michael Wells men’s retreat many years ago.  Met with Noah Wells and Tim Lester who were about to host another retreat.  Tim lives in Maryland.  He got excited about CitP, and seemed to have a ‘word from God’ about starting a Christ On The Beach ministry.  We will see…

Thank you followers for all your prayers.  Ministry in the park is completely different than in the church.  Yet the same God shows up and works in lives everywhere.  Amen.
