Revival Sunday Recap 9-6-09

Morning: Bro Keith brought a message from Jonah 1:1-16. Throughout the message he reminded us that we can't outrun God. Jonah's shameful attempt to avoid the call of God in his life reminds us that disobedience is costly. Jonah came to the place where he thought he would rather die than obey God, yet God was merciful to him. We were also reminded that God used Jonah, in spite of his disobedience, to bring about the conversion of the crew of the ship he was on.

Evening: Bro. Keith's message drew from Jonah 1:17-2:9. The message focused on the great reality spoken of in Jonah 2:9--salvation is from the Lord. The message called us to recognize the Lord's sovereignty, to realize our helplessness, and to be repaired to our God. We reconcile to God through prayer, as we cry out for mercy, and by worship, as we worship the Lord in spirit and truth.

I am looking forward to the rest of the messages, and I am confident that the Lord will continue to speak through the Word he has given his servant. This is shaping up to be an exciting revival.
