Psalm 107:2
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.
I am so appreciative of what God has done to us and among us at Vineyard Recovery.
Whether you feel like it or not, you've got a story to tell. A message to share. Every person has struggles that they are facing, along with mountains that they have already climbed. Such needs to be shared with others. When we tell our story of God's work in our lives, we are encouraging each other and building up our hope and faith in Christ.
That is why from time to time at Vineyard Recovery, we are going to have someone from among our regular attender's come and share their story. How did they get to where they are today? What has been the over riding theme to their life in the battles they have faced.
I have used Psalm 107:2 in a lot of meetings because of the wording. Truth be known, most people feel like they really don't have anything to share. No dramatic stories of them being rescued by God. No miracles (at least on a Hollywood movie scale) where they were snatched from destruction. Well, usually tell folks that verse 2 of Psalm 107 merely states that if you have been saved, your response is a simple...."SO!" Isn't that what the verse says...? Let the redeemed of the Lord say "SO!".
This Saturday night, Debbie Handy will share her story with us. I've known Debbie for 23 years and she has been an incredible encouragement to Vicki and me. In fact, she and her husband Lanny, helped us get our home group started back in 1994.
I'm looking forward to the coming weeks as others will share their stories with us.
Don't forget that we will not be having Vineyard Recovery on SEPT. 7 but will return the next week.
August 31st - Debbie Handy will speak
Sept. 7th - We will be closed
Sept. 14th - Seth Barber will speak
Sept. 21st - Michael Bynum will speak.
Looking forward to seeing you!
God on you....
