Mark and I visited a new church yesterday. We didn't know a soul. We are searching for the presence of God, His wisdom, encouragement, love, etc. It was a small church and at least twelve people greeted us and several conversed with us at length. We could discern that Holy Spirit sparkle and joy in the eyes of several individuals. A Sunday school teacher invited us to attend his class and to join him for lunch. We were greeted by the pastor and enjoyed a sermon delivered with love and humility. The music was geared to praise and worship with the congregation participating freely. The concluding prayer and anointing was led by the senior pastor who humbled himself before our Lord. We were impressed with the simplicity, sincere hearts, and humble attitudes of all present. We knew the Lord was honored and glorified!
In defense of mega- churches with thousands of members and several services it is sometimes difficult to know who is new and who is not. But the strength of these churches is their small groups where people know and pray for each other. We praise God for Christian fellowship.
