“For who has despised the day of small things!” Zechariah 4:10
We had 70 people that first week, which was a lot for a first church service of a new
church. I knew that we would likely lose 50 of them as they were there to support me (what a blessing), and they had their own church homes. And indeed, we landed about where I thought we would. And I will be honest….I was a little bummed, hoping to buck the trend a little.
But great things almost always start small. We have a core group now that we can begin to grow around….and despite the small size, we had a salvation decision!!!!
Week one, we added a couple of members. Week two, we had a salvation decision. Praise the Lord!!! God is good! So good!
It reminded me of this verse in Zechariah 4:10, which reminds us that even seemingly small beginnings can hold great value and can contribute to much larger purposes. What’s the value of one soul spending eternity in Heaven versus hell? Game changing! And this verse encourages us to have an appreciation for the initial stages of growth, recognizing that they are often precursors to bigger things. I believe this church is going to make a huge impact in Lawrenceville and beyond. I know God has called me to this ministry, He has given me a message, and we have a sweet fellowship beginning. Both weeks, I heard nothing but positives about the friendly, comfortable atmosphere. The almost “coffee house” vibe of the music and the sincerity of the preaching. All good things!
