Sundays at Emmanuel have become so exciting that people are literally saying, "I can't wait to see what God is going to do this Sunday." In the past 5 weeks, we've seen 9 people saved, 11 baptized, 22 new members (17 were adults), and our attendance increased by 50. Again, we are in a small town with a stagnant population, BUT GOD IS WORKING!
This past Sunday, we were privileged to start our service with 1 teenager and 2 children taking the step of baptism. We were also blessed to have the "Sounds of Liberty" worship team from Liberty University with us in the morning service and in full concert for the evening service. I preached on "Overcoming Temptation.
At the invitation, people came to the altar to pray, a couple joined the church, and a sweet lady came to make a public profession of her faith. She was saved, but felt she needed to share it publicly and it was such a blessing! As I was walking through the Worship Center, a lady stopped me and asked if we could talk. We talked and she prayed to receive Christ as her Savior!
Earlier in the week we also had two people saved on visitation! God has really been blessing our church family recently. I pray we never take it for granted, and we are faithful to give Him the credit and the glory for what He is doing both in and through us!
