GOD IS THERE!

GOD IS THERE!


For most churches=or in
Any ministry work=it IS
A NUMBERS GAME


How MANY people attended
How much MONEY was given
How many people were BAPTIZED


But for me=the most IMPORTANT
Numbers are 1, 2, and 3


IF your make a difference=in ONE
Person's life=you have done
A LIFETIME of work


And Jesus himself=tells us=
The numbers are two and three


“For where two or three
Are GATHERED in my name
There AM I
In the MIDST of them” Matthew 18:20


Yes-GOD IS THERE=God
Is everywhere=where we are
THINKING OF HIM


In church on Sunday
In bible study
In prayer group


YES=God is there=
Jesus is there=PRESENT in
Our hearts and minds


SOMETIMES-numbers do matter
But there is a danger
In BELIEVING=that we
Only succeed=when we reach
Many people


1,2, and 3 are SIGNIFICANT numbers=
And they can CHANGE the world
Jesus CHANGED the world with only 12


The PRESENCE of God
IS what it is
ALL about


“Because of my INTEGRITY
You uphold me


And set me
In your PRESENCE forever” Psalm 41:12


“HOW can we thank God ENOUGH
For you


In RETURN for ALL the joy
We have
In the PRESENCE of God


Because of you?” 1 Thessalonians 3:9


“For Christ
Did NOT enter a sanctuary
Made with human hands


That was ONLY a copy
Of the true one


He ENTERED heaven itself
NOW to appear for us
In GOD'S PRESENCE” Hebrews 9:24


And CHIST is in us=for God
Is there=LIVING in us=
WHERE two or three are GATHERED
In his name


And even in OURSELVES
When we are FOCUSED on Christ
GOD IS THERE


Yes-Jesus REMINDS US
That he is there=
In two or three=just as he is
In the MULTITUDES


YES=1, 2, or 3=God is
With us=God is there
NO MATTER how many of us
There are


In the name of Jesus OUR LORD=and his MOST LOVING FATHER
