Pastor’s Pen

 
Homecoming!! This has always been an exciting day for me! Even as a child I looked forward to Homecoming day at church! Today, I look forward again to this wonderful time with the people of God. The sweet fellowship that the family of God possesses because of the common person of the Holy Spirit dwelling in each to witness to one another! Then, of course there is the food! Most will associate homecoming with delicious foods and delectable desserts. While this is a bonus, it is not truly the reason for coming to church today. Jesus told a group of people to not labor for the meat that perishes, but for the meat that will endure to everlasting life (Jn 6:27). That is the true reason for coming into the worship service today. Let us sing praises to the Lord, worship God as we hear sweet melodies lifting up the name above all names. Then the main course, the Word of God!! Let us hear from God and worship Him!
