Today was one of those days where I go from meeting to meeting to meeting. I certainly don't mind and there have been some blessed things happen today...
I spent time with Pastor Marcial and I am so encouraged by him. They had 50 kids at their VBS this week and his own daughter made her confession of faith! His church is slowly gaining momentum and we need to be diligently praying for them.
I also met with our Liberty Pregnancy Resource Center (LPRC) group which consists of Wes and Jan Griffin and Lisa Davillez from the Austin PRC. Lisa related that the Leander PRC has seen over 100 clients and out of those 40 young women have accepted Jesus into their lives! What an amazing ministry...I am so excited that God is preparing Liberty Hill for a PRC. This will be a community-sponsored center and the first meeting will be September 23rd at the VFW hall. Make plans to be there.
To top it all off, my good friends Barry Smith and wife Mickie came over from Crestview Baptist Church tonight. Barry has a heart (and an awesome talent) for Christian Theater and Drama. I have been in many of his productions and he is top notch all the way. Barry has agreed to direct a play for this year's Home for the Holidays Women's Event. In the coming weeks, we will be asking for volunteers of all sorts...actors, singers, set builders, sound and stage hands, lighting people and others. All of this will come from our own church body (including the actors...) and it will be a wonderful experience. I know we have the talent and expertise to do this in world-class fashion. Liberty Hill won't know what hit them!
The Home for the Holidays is on two nights this year - Thursday, November 20 and Friday, November 21. We will also do a Sunday night play performance for anyone and everyone, so get ready to invite! The play is Christmas Shoes, which is a heart wrenching story about a young boy and his dying mother. Bring on the Kleenex!
There is so much going on and I can sense God's presence in everything we are doing! Even after a long day like today, I feel strong and encouraged that we are doing as God would have us do.
Here is a thought and a question for you: In John 2, Jesus clears the temple with a whip. The Jews wanted to know under what authority Jesus did this:
Then the Jews demanded of him, "What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?"
Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."

If Jesus is all-powerful, why would it take Him three days to rebuild the temple? After all, couldn't He just think it into existence? Of course He could! Jesus was not speaking about the actual temple...He referring to Himself as the "temple". And the three days was how long He would be entombed so as to remove all doubt that He was indeed dead. His resurrection after three days proved that He supernaturally overcame death.
That is the awesome and mighty power of our God. Nothing can stop Him, nothing can slow Him down. He overcame death so that we would not have to experience it!
I had an awesome day!
Blessings,
Pastor Michael
