The Christmas season has arrived at LSCC, one of my favorite times of year. Sunday we focused in having hope and putting our hope in the Lord. Mary got a message from an angel with bookends of hope, "God is with you" and "Nothing is impossible with God." I thought it would be a good idea to have people fill out prayer requests, asking God for the impossible. We had a great response and I have this stack of prayer requests full of impossibilities in the lives of people. There are requests for salvation, healing, prodigals to come home, jobs to be found, comfort for the grieving, financial help and on it goes. As I read through them, my heart got a little anxious. I began to carry some of the burdens written on those cards, I wanted to try and fix some of those problems, to be the answer for the prayers of people. I realized just how impossible it was for me to meet all these demands, many didn't have names, many were spiritual in nature, what was I going to do?! Then it hit me, I don't have to do anything. These weren't request for me to solve, people weren't putting there hope in Pastor Greg! My hands and feet are available for God to use how He may see fit, maybe I'll have a chance to be the answer to one or two of these impossibilities but people have put their hope in God and I think it best if I would join them in that. I'm hoping for Christmas miracles in the lives of the Streamers at LSCC. I'm putting my hope in the God who is with us and does impossible things.
Hoping your Christmas is full of hope this year! Blessings, Pastor Greg
