Revival and Homecoming

Good morning everyone. It is another cool and rainy day in northeastern Pennsylvania.

This coming Friday through Sunday, I will be preaching revival services at First Assembly of God in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. This is also their church's Homecoming Weekend and for me this also has significance because it was 20 years ago that I served as the youth pastor of this church. (Where did all that time go?) It has been many years since I've been back and although a church can change drastically in 20 years, it will be nice to return and see some old but familiar faces. Please pray that this weekend will be challenging and encouraging for all who attend.

I was needing a comforting word today from the scripture and of course, the Bible does still speak to people today. I'm reading through Isaiah and came to chapters 7 and 8 where it talks about Immanuel, God is with us. He is with us today even when our hearts are heavy. He is in control of our future even when we don't see that far ahead. He continues to be Immanuel, God with us, no matter what the circumstances are in our life. Today, I am thankful for that truth.

God be with each of you this day.
