Just about every Thursday or Friday, I go through this process of wrapping up the week and transitioning myself in preparation for the weekend. It's both an emotional and spiritual response to what's happened and what's about to happen. Not sure if every pastor goes through this, but I know alot do.
A busy week can get really bogged down with a great deal of details and distractions. It can also be full of many, wonderful opportunities for ministry. Every pastor knows, of course, there's something special about the weekend worship service that affords the opportunity of uninterrupted worship and teaching. While doing church is not our primary focus at City on a Hill Church, there is an appropriate amount of emphasis placed on our worship service since it's a Biblical mandate to come together as a Body.
This week has been full of awesome opportunities for ministry with the Homeless Ministry. Our church family has poured love on these folks, and I'm so grateful to God for bringing us to Culpeper. I know as we finish up our Fireproof Series this weekend, God has great things in store for us. We'll discuss how God has a better plan for love than we do. God's plan for love within marriage and any kind of relationship is better than anything we can come up with ourselves or try to do in our own power. The plan starts with God and must include God.
I'm looking forward to this weekend. How about you?
