We still limit God
Last night our church celebrated together as part of our Connecting Generations capital campaign. We are currently seeking God’s will about completely renovating our oldest building built in 1924. The building is not in good shape and is becoming dangerous. A massive overhaul is needed. Of course, this takes money and a commitment from the church. We are into the last two weeks of our campaign which will help us know how much money will be committed over the next three years. A celebration banquet is a wonderful time to celebrate what God has been doing and look forward to what God will do. The banquet was held at TSTC and was a perfect evening. The food was great as well as the program. Jonathan’s gift of singing blessed our time together. Rick Rhodes spoke about the influence First Baptist Church, Sweetwater has had on his family. His words were encouraging and uplifting. Tula Mae’s talk about her experiences in the church was nothing less than inspiring. She shared her heart with us and we were all blessed. The evening culminated with announcing the total amount of money pledged to this point. Throughout the evening the excitement built to this point and then with the amount pledged the excitement overflowed. I believe the excitement was not just about a monetary amount, but rather how great God truly is. As a church we realized that God’s plan for this church and the new building is much greater than we can imagine. Even in our faith in God we still tend to limit Him. God is ready to work in new and exciting ways in Sweetwater, Texas. I am so excited about the part we will play in serving God.
