Our church had the privilege of hosting the Christian singing group "Phillips, Craig & Dean" last night. I say privilege, because start to finish, they were all about ministry! In a day where you see so many "performers" who are simply in ministry for the money, these three men don't only sing about God, they all three serve as Senior Pastors and have ministered together for 15 years! Also, after their great success with 18 number 1 hits and too many albums to count, they were still as humble and personable as any group we have ever invited into our church.I thoroughly enjoyed the concert last night and I believe everyone else in attendance did as well. While it could be considered "entertainment" in the concert goers sense, I believe it was much deeper than that. PCD ushered the people of God into the presence of God. They explained salvation and then escorted us into a real time of worship. They prayed for those who were hurting and spent time praying with hurting pastors who were on the verge of quitting. They truly ministered in this place last night.
Emmanuel Baptist Church has hosted quite a few big concerts over the past several years and we look forward to doing so in the future. We don't do them as fundraisers and truth be known, we usually lose a few dollars; but it allows us to enter into a different arena of ministry to people far beyond just our own congregation. A special thanks to PCD and to everyone who attended and helped with the concert! And to those who met Jesus Christ last night, "Welcome into the family of God!"
