BORN AGAIN! SHARE IT! PASS IT ON!

As a mother, my greatest joy and thanksgiving is to know that each of my children have been BORN AGAIN!!!! Peter articulated it in a wonderful way in scripture,


.

1 Peter 1:3-5
"Blessed be the God and Father

of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who according to His great mercy

has caused us to be BORN AGAIN

to a living hope

through the resurrection of Jesus Christ

from the dead,

to obtain an inheritance which is

imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away,

reserved in heaven for you..."

.

.

Jesus articulated in a very simple way to Nicodemus in John 3:3,

.

"Truly, truly, I say to you,

unless one is BORN AGAIN,

he cannot see the kingdom of God."

.

I am part of a church family who believes both Jesus and Peter's words. It's very important that we share the message and pass it on to our children, our family, our neighbors, our friends, and anyone who will listen. We are bursting at the seams in our current building, so on Sunday, August 30, we had a ground breaking ceremony for our new building. We had a picnic at a local park. Then, we caravaned over to our land, surrounded by orchards, for the ceremony. We sang! We read scripture! We prayed! We shared our dreams and vision for many future generations of BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS to learn and grow in Christ there.

.

Here are a few pictures that I took with my trusty cell phone. Then, I'll share again the BORN AGAIN VIDEO that I shared a few days ago. Thank You, Jesus, for new birth, forgiveness, possibilities, transformation...

.

FIRST THERE WAS FOOD AND FELLOWSHIP AT THE PARK...

.

THEN THERE WAS THE CARAVAN OF CARS ARRIVING ON THE BUILDING SITE AND PARKING WHERE THE PARKING LOT WILL SOON BE...

.

WE PONDERED THE SURROUNDING ORCHARDS AND THE WORK INVOLVED IN GETTING TO THIS HARVEST:

.

WE WALKED TOGETHER TOWARD WHERE THE FIRST SHOVELS OF DIRT WOULD BE TURNED OVER AND WE SANG SONGS LIKE... THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ELIJAH... AND ANCIENT OF DAYS....

.
MANY GATHERED AROUND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES...

. TOGETHER, WE GAVE GOD THE GLORY
FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE...
AND ALL THAT HE IS GOING TO DO!!!





Acts 2:37-38 "And Peter said to them,
"Repent,
and let each of you be baptized
in the name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins;
and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
