As we continue in our theme for 2008, Becoming a People of Excellence, I pray, with the Lord's allowance, that on the next Lord's Day, I will begin a series on the letters that the Apostle John was ordered to write by the Lord Jesus, to the 7 churches that resided in Asia Minor, found in the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John chapters 2-3.
These letters give us an opportunity to observe Jesus, the great head of the church, accurately inspects each church, acknowledge their present conditions through a deified examination of their internals instead of a wordly focus on their externals. Jesus is actually giving each church an intense x-ray of its condition that at a cursory glance would appear to be case specific to that particular assembly, but it is truly meant to be considered by all of the churches of that region as well as modern-day churches as well.
We will, with the power of the Lord, examine the church of Ephesus on tomorrow. Please keep our church and me in your prayers that the lessons that the Lord has for us to learn will penetrate our hearts that our church turns from hearers to doers of the Word of God in a more excellent way.

Thanks for coming over to my blog. I look forward to reading yours as well. My hope is that we can begin networking with other pastors/leaders via the blog to share ideas, learnings, etc.
We need more of our own black pastors/leaders to begin using this technology. I am glad that we a part of making that happen.
God bless, my brother.
