Grateful for Bob’s Message This Sunday

1 Comments

Here’s an encouraging e-mail I received from a member who was affected by Bob’s message this Sunday. (Shared by permission. Name withheld.):

Hi Josh,

I want to communicate my gratefulness for your leadership and your “change in plans” this morning. I was truly blessed by Bob’s message today! It was one of those messages where I felt like God was speaking to me directly. I have been experiencing condemnation recently as a result of sin in my life. It’s been hard for me to run to the throne of God lately, feeling like I can’t approach a Holy God and that I don’t deserve to be in His presence. I am so grateful that the pastors at Covenant Life consistently bring us back to the Gospel! Bob’s third point, “Celebrate God’s Victory,” brought it home for me. I must consistently be reminded that Jesus is the only one that lived the perfect life that God requires, and because I am covered in His righteous blood, I can approach a Holy God!

This morning at home when I prayed, “God, humble me and do whatever is necessary to bring me into your presence,” I could not have imagined that He would meet me so specifically.

Bob, thank you for your faithfulness in preaching God’s word and so accurately communicating His heart!
I am grateful for this church!

 






Josh and Bob,

I wanted to add my voice to the timeliness and kindness of God in Bob’s message this past Sunday.  I thought it was an amazing reminder in the midst of the application section of Ephesians that it’s not ultimately our activity that is going to matter in the end, but that what God has already accomplished through Jesus is sufficient and our only hope for obeying at all.  I will pray that next time it won’t take a migraine for Josh for God to get His plan accomplished.  :o)

Grateful for you all,
Mindy Mayhew
