Have you been moved by the spirit lately? For the past several Sunday mornings, I have been moved. When we began looking for a church home in Nashville we were very disappointed with our findings. We left a great, healthy, loving church, and subconsciously we were looking for what we knew. What was familiar to us. But we both knew we could not duplicate that church. Within the last few weeks, we have both come to find that God will give you more than you ask or imagine. Because what I asked and imagined was a church like FC. A church that carried the same traditions. A church that worshiped the same. A church that even prayed the same. But God has shown us that there are many different ways to worship. And we are moved by the spirit at this new church near us. Moved to tears as we enjoy the music, moved by the spirit to get involved, to give money to worthy causes, and especially moved as we see others moved by the Spirit. There is something powerful that makes people stand up and raise their hands to God while the rest of the congregation sits. There is something powerful that makes the singers tap their legs, shake their heads back and forth to the beat and just sing with all their heart. God is alive and working in this church and we are happy to say we have felt it.
Praise God! I am thrilled for you guys. That’s awesome and a great reason to celebrate!
David and I need to change our mindset because we are hoping the church we joined will reveal itself to be FC II…including the friends, Sunday School, etc. I’m happy you guys have found a new place to call home.
I’m so thankful you’ve found somewhere to go… I think it’s the most important thing to do when you get somewhere new. It’s awesome that you found a place to be excited about! Can’t wait to visit! ; )
Hallelujah! I’ve been hoping to hear that from you guys. I’ve prayed you’d find a church where you really get to feel Jesus every time you meet – there is nothing like it in this world. I hope that you’ll continue to be blessed by this church and even find a new “family” to belong to – you all deserve it. I know you’ll be a HUGE blessing to any gathering and I hope you have tons of opportunities to pour into others. You’re amazing in your walks and I look up to you everyday. Continue to grow and reflect the light of Jesus that lives within you!! Love you guys!!
So glad you like the church and it feels like home. It is so hard to make such a big change, but awesome when you feel at home.
