Today was a great day. As we dedicated our new worship center, our congregation combined our services to thank God for His provision, to celebrate our past, and to be challenged for the future. It was such a privilege to have all the surviving pastors join us and to take part in the service. The unity of the generations at Grace reflects its maturity.
When we thanked those who helped make the building possible, I know we left some key people out. Try as we may, it's impossible to recognize everyone. I left the service with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for our people.
But thanksgiving and gratitude cannot breed complacency. Until the Lord's return, we have been entrusted with a story so important that it must be told. And the consequences of that story must be demonstrated in our lives. Too many folks are listening and watching.
So the celebration was great. But now we have work to do.
