The Blessing Refreshes
Rather than a lengthy blog this week, I want to encourage you to download the sermon podcast from this past Sunday (May 17) by clicking on the podcast icon on this website.
In keeping with The Blessing series, Ps Joe shared an awesome message entitled, The Blessing Refreshes or Living Stress-free in a Stressful World. I was so blessed (and refreshed) as were many in the congregation–a sure reminder of what Jesus purchased for us and what the Holy Spirit has put on the inside of us.
One of the key scriptures he used was Acts 3:19 (AMP) which says, “So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of [a]reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord.
Friends, I know that the presence of the Lord is the place to be to avoid stress and burnout and I know for us, that is how we have made it through all these years. Living in the place of praise and worship has kept us in God’s presence. Abiding in the secret place is the key. (Psalms 91–Message)
Do something good for yourself today, download the podcast, sit back and be refreshed!
Much love–PB
