Sunday Morning at Immanuel


Last week, my friend Vee asked me to speak at this morning's early service. I could speak on any passage I chose and Pastor Win, the senior pastor, would interpret. I Was given forty minutes to speak (keep in mind that with someone translating, it means about twenty minutes from me.)


I chose to speak on my favorite passage, John 9 , and the story of the blind man... "Once I was blind, but now I can see," and the fact that there is no argument against a changed life. I encouraged them to be willing to share THEIR stories of how their lives had changed since meeting Jesus.


I managed to finish up in a half hour, and it seemed to be pretty well received. Afterward, Pastor Win came to me and said that what I had shared was something the whole congregation had to hear, and he asked if I could cut it to fifteen minutes and share with the main service at 10:30. Yikes! You can't really say no to something like that, so I did so, and that seemed to go quite well, too. Thank you SO much to those who knew this was happening and who remembered to pray for me!
