After five consecutive Sundays of international travels and time away from Park Plaza, today I am ‘at home.’ In October I worshiped and preached at a house church in Chile with no more than 30 present; last week I was at an area-wide worship assembly in Guatemala City with almost 4000 present on Sunday morning.
On Friday evening in Guatemala I taught the Bible study at a new church established less than a year ago. This church has about 35 present each Sunday and is being established by Guatemalans without U.S. financial support.
Here are some things I want to remember today and every Sunday….
God is among his people wherever they worship, in both small and large assemblies
The gospel is being proclaimed in many different places around the world by God’s people
The gospel bears fruit when it is proclaimed
God is growing the church in marvelous but often unseen ways
The Supper binds us together each Lord’s Day as saints around the world share remembrance of what God has done to redeem and unite a holy people for his glory
