Today was a beautiful fall day. Evidently everybody else thought the same thing and played hookie from church!

• We had a fair crowd today, with several guests back with us again.
• Today is All Saints Sunday
• We kicked off our “The Time Is Now” stewardship campaign
• My message today was based on Revelation 7:9-17, Something Bigger than We Are
• I talked about the rich heritage that we have received, and the vision of that faithful band of believers who started our church 89 years ago
• They had a vision to serve the community and reach the lost.
• The church may have meandered away from that in the past, but that vision has not changed.
• A vision from God leads to action for God.
• We’ve got to keep listening because God is still speaking. The time is now!
• We’ve got to keep telling until there is no one left to tell. The time is now!
• We’ve got to keep surrendering, because the Christian life is not a one-time event. The time is now!
• We’ve got to keep loving until all have come to know the love of Christ. The time is now!
• We’ve got to keep committing, because God isn’t through with us yet. The time is now!
• We’ve got to keep going until there is no place on earth left that has not heard. The time is now!
• We’ve got to keep serving until every need has been met in Jesus’ name. The time is now!
• We’ve got to keep giving until the vision is fulfilled. The time is now!
• We’ve got to keep pressing on until we reach the goal! The time is now!
• I was beat when I got done. Came home, skipped lunch, and took a three hour nap.
• I had a flu shot yesterday, so I think that was part of why I was feeling droopy.
• Many of our folks are concerned about the election.
• I would encourage you to join Carlos Whittaker online tomorrow night at 9:30 p.m. (EST) for Praying Backward. Ya gotta check it out!
