Hindsight
I received this letter at
Church this past Sunday and it was so exciting to see God at work at GateWay! The first thing I would challenge this
person to do is get in a Small Group, get connected with other Christians so they
can get fellowship and encouragement.
“Dear Pastor Ed,
I am writing you this letter
to tell you thank you. I received Christ into my heart one month ago at GateWay
Church during one of your sermons. I was completely lost, full of anger,
self-pity, rage and hurt. I was a
broken man and considering suicide.
I let other people control my emotions and my feelings. I was fighting a
war I couldn’t win and the devil had a choke hold on my life. I blamed everybody else for all my
problems (poor me). That all
changed in an instant when I received Jesus. I was healed, it is an absolute
miracle!! God now fights all my
battles and he guides me through every decision I make. I’m still a sinner and I still have
problems but now I let God takeover.
What a feeling!! Thanks you
for your role in this miracle I believe God worked through you that day in
church to speak to me and I finally listened. My wife has always been a
Christian and all I ever did was judge her and tear her down, but now she saw
the miracle in my life and it’s amazing how Jesus works through other people to
get his message out there. I could
go on for hours about what’s happened to me but I won’t. Thank you so much GateWay Church!!”
Receiving Jesus Christ as
your Lord and Savior is a supernatural act of God in which we all get to participate; from Greeters
to Café to Ushers to Sunday School to music to speakers to sound techs, we all
participate with God’s purpose!
That’s what being Biblical, Radical and Viral are all about this year at
GateWay.
