    Have you taken time for fellowship with God’s church?

    Love God’s Church = Fellowship with each other

    As I observed the comings and goings of families to a gathering of the church we call worship it seemed all hurried in from some early morning herding of the young sheep into vehicles and in just an hour herded them out into the parking lot of the world.

    Where were all the sheep going?

    Inside, scheduled fellowship included just two places for worshipers to join – neither appropriate for me (by definition of these limited communities of saints seeking fellowship and teaching in scripture).

    Has the world won over the church or just provided better marketing of how ‘christians’ should invest our time on Sundays?

    All that said, it’s a continuing issue for many churches and I have addressed it previously, including most recently in a 2020 series, In Case You Missed It…

    By faith, Abraham –4 – Prince of a Promise

    “Before Abraham was, I AM”

    As you follow the journey of Sheik Abram from Ur to Haran through Canaan to Egypt and back to the land of the Lord’s promise we see Abraham’s enduring faith in the LORD. Moses records it, the writer of Hebrews references it and the Lord Jesus speaks of a father of our faith, Abraham.

    “.. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
