The Bible says that some sow, others water, but God Gives The Increase! I want to give God the Glory again for what He did this Easter Weekend. You see many people will question why we talk about numbers. Well again Numbers represent people and people matter to God.
In fact our team here at The Church understand that people matter. A great example was this past weekend. We had already finished our last of 5 services. It was a packed out 11:45 service with many coming to Christ. At the end of the service I was informed that there were 40 to 50 people waiting for a 1:15 service. I looked at my team and said lets do another service. So we started an impromptu service with 20 people looking at me and others in the lobby. It did not matter, the worship team led the best worship they did all weekend and then I preached as if 1,000 people were in front of me. The best part of the service is when 5 people raised their hands to surrender to Jesus! What a glorious time it was for all of us.
We again saw that God gives the increase! God is the one who touches the human heart and causes it to repent and come into Salvation. I left the last service exhausted but rejoicing as God brought the increase of Salvations!
