As my church is off for our church away weekend both the Apostle's and the Reformer's words strike me. Spiritually healthy people are hungry people. Sermons are not optional, they're essential for solid, Christian growth. Without the Word - preached, discussed, learned, prayed over and passed on - we will perish. But with the Word we have Christ, and to share Him together, as we'll be doing this weekend, will be precious indeed.
Please pray for a really fruitful time for all who attend, and for Wes McNabb as he preaches to us.
