Today we had a great baptism service.
We started with announcements and welcomed a new member to River - Peter Dodge.
We then experienced incredible worship as the River band led a charged up church in exalting our God.
From there we heard how God has worked through our church! testimonies from 8 people who have been saved by God's grace. What an incredible time to hear
After that we heard a special song by our worship leader Faith - "What if?". This was inspiring and cut to the heart. Great job Faith!
We then heard the sermon - "Enter By the Narrow Gate" based on Matthew 7.13-14
The sermon was not for the faint of heart and challenged Christians to walk the hard road.
It also invited unbelievers to embrace the gospel and be saved.
From there we were privileged to see about 10 people answer the altar call and make professions of faith!
With tears streaming, we saw people repent and believe onto the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.
The altar was filled with others for prayer and repentance also.
It was after that when we got to witness the 8 baptisms. What a great celebration!! Kylar, Nicole, Cindy, Bob, Shawna & Jamie were baptized by me. Luke & Grace Gladem were baptized by their father. A memorable experience for sure!
I want to say "THANK YOU" to all of you who serve River and our Lord. Thank you to everyone who serves in little and big ways. Please know that your acts of service and prayers allow and even facilitate God's activity. Thank you for serving so others can respond to the gospel.
Soli Deo Gloria!
To God be all the glory!
