JER 29:7 'Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its welfare you will have welfare.'
Our church has always been highly spiritual in approach. Not more spiritual than anyone else, mind you. But, we have really focused on worship, prayer, the word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit in church life.
A few years ago, God started speaking to my heart about making Asheville a better place by serving. More practical, hands on, get out there and help with some stuff.
We have not abandoned our emphasis on prayer and worship – but we have added a dimension of practical serving.
I’m glad we have – our church is loving it and doing it. Some people only seem to talk about it. Our guys do it - and I'm so proud of them.
A few weeks back 135 of us spent a Saturday helping out at a school right down the road from us. It was fun. I think it made God happy. That’s always a good thing.
