Easter at Harvest was great. We had several thousand people come for all the different services. 2nd service alone was packed. We had to use the dome for overflow for that service because the Fellowship Hall was full and there were at least 250 people in the dome for that service. The courtyard area had almost 2000 people alone. Pastor Greg did an awesome job with teaching and God really used him as he taught from the Luke 24 about the disciple on the road to Emmaus. The focus of the message is from verse 32, "Did not our hearts burn within us." What a great verse talking about the risen Lord.
I took last week off and tried to rest but I do not think I did much. I missed you guys and look forward to seeing everyone this week. We start back with our normal service schedule. Wed, Fri, and Sunday.
I am thankful to the times of rest or just to get away for a little while because it is easy to get burned up and your focus is changed from the purpose. As Pastor Greg shared on Sunday what a great message it would have been able to hear from the mouth of Jesus but I also realize what a great message is the Bible. Just like ministry can be work and we lose the focus of what it needs to be, so can reading God's word. It can become a task or a duty but not so our hearts burn within us as God is speaking to us. I always need to refocus and go back to the cross.
God Bless,
PJ
