Getting Started

Hey!
Pastor Renee & I (Pastor Rob) are going to be blogging some of their reflections as we do our own study of the book of Philippians during our SHINE series.

We have two hopes for you.  First, that you will see how we study scripture and, very practically, how to study your own Bible.  Second, that it will motivate you to go for it!  Take a courageous step forward and launch into this book expecting God to speak to you, and that you would develop this habit.  Daily.  And in doing so Christ would Shine through you!

So, join us in reading a book by a guy named Paul who was given a 2nd chance. Paul is writing from prison to a small group of people in Philippi who believed in him. He was so proud of their lives & he wrote telling them not to give up, that God was not finished with them. God was so proud of them all, he preserved this book for you!  Shine.

Paul's love for Christ and his passion for the well-being of the Philippians is amazing. It challenges me. Verses 9-11 is a prayer that I have committed to memory and have prayed over Main Street. Imagine what God longs to do through us, for his "glory and praise." Would anyone like to join me in praying Paul's prayer, for Main Street? We can knock on heaven's door together!! Love to all, Kathy.

Philippians is a wonderful book - my favourite. In verse 27, Paul says "to stand firm in one spirit." This speaks to me as I think of all the ministry that goes on at Main Street. May people be drawn to Him through seeing unity among us.

I love the idea of a blog and sharing ideas. I have appreciated our pastors' comments and hearing from others. I am looking forward to the message tomorrow. Rosalie
