Things are not what they seem

Last Wednesday the "Greene Flock" had another new visitor. It was one of Jessie's friends, Kyle. He, like Jessie, is struggling to find the Lord's direction for his life. It was great to have him come. We pray he will be a regular.

The subject of our discussion was "Things are not what they seem". We looked at 2 kings 6 when Elisha prayed that his servant's eyes would be open to see the spiritual army around them. We also looked at Daniel's visions of angels. As believers in the lord Jesus Christ we must always remember that what we see in the physical world is not all that is going on. There are always spiritual activities associated with what is going on too. In the book of Ephesians our brother Paul prays, like Elisha did, that the eyes of our hearts might be opened.

We also had a wonderful time of questions about the Bible. Copies of the book of John were also passed out, and we ended in a time of prayer.

New Member

The Greene Flock met last Wednesday evening and had a new member in attendance. It was Gary's son Jessie. He is 19 years old. He received the Lord when he was 12 at RCCF, but has not been attending church since then. Please pray for him as he is seeking to renew his relationship with the Lord and do what is right.

Our discussion was centered around Romans Chapter 8. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death. This is a spiritual law that is as true as the physical law of gravity. Yet, we do not often hear this preached about. For those who recognize their hopelessness and have put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ they do not have to worry about the condemnation of God in the last day. This should be a life transforming truth yet so many children of God have not grasped it. May we meditate on this truth this week, and allow the holy spirit to quicken it to our hearts and minds.
