Today’s offering: World Budget: Fall Mission Appeal
Many parents have had to wrestle with the proverbial question of their children, “Are we there yet?”.
Sometimes, this question is asked at the beginning of a journey and could last throughout the entire trek. The answers come in various forms:
Not yet! Over half way there! We are closer to getting there than we are from home! Almost! Just a little further!
Imagine how refreshing it was to hear, “Get ready to cross!”
Joshua and the children of Israel had arrived at the Jordan and it was time to cross over and take the land God promised. After a long difficult journey, they were about to enter Canaan.
We are living in a time in earth’s history when it’s soon time to cross. The song writer captured our hope:
“We are nearing home!
See the splendor gleaming from the domes afar!
See the glory streaming thro' the gates ajar!
There we soon will enter, never more to roam
Hear the angels singing! We are nearing home.
Oh Yes! We are nearing home!”
Our offerings today will support the finishing of the work as we anxiously await the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus.
Let’s pray, “Lord, we give You these gifts in preparation of our final destination. We long to be home with You, and with as many of our family and friends as possible. Bless the tithes and offerings we bring. Lord Jesus come quickly, we pray these things in Jesus name, Amen.”
