Subject: Exploring the Transformative Vision of Our Church Gatherings Dear Church Family, I hope this message finds you well and filled with peace. As we gather each week, it's essential to reflect on the deeper purpose of our meetings. It's not just about worship—it's about envisioning the transformative power of the gospel in our lives. When we come together, we engage in a creative and visionary process. We're invited to imagine the profound changes that can occur if we truly embrace the gospel's truths. This involves picturing how our behaviors, relationships, and even community structures could be reshaped by Christ's teachings. Consider the words of Ephesians 4:15: "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ." This verse reminds us that our gatherings are opportunities for growth. By living out the gospel, we not only draw closer to Christ but also to one another, fostering a community that reflects His love and truth. Let's cherish our time together as a chance to dream and build a life that mirrors the beauty and truth of the gospel. May our meetings inspire us to transform our individual lives and our collective presence in the world. Looking forward to seeing you all to continue this journey of faith and transformation. Warm regards, Pastor Steven G. Lee (April 25, 2024)
