Isaiah 43:19 reads,"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." (NIV)
Our pastor, James Twiner, has been preaching and teaching this message to our congregation at First United Methodist Pascagoula for the past year or so, and the spirit of that message has become contagious!
There is a "newness" in the spirits of our congregation at First UMC and it's catching hold of the folks all around our small town. In fact, if you listen closely and read the coastal newsprint and magazines ... that "new" thing is catching hold of folks all across the Coast!
I am glad to see that the LORD brings "new" excitement and enthusiasm from "old" and "tired" situations. St. Paul instructs in Galatians 6:9 that we " ... not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Harvest time is near ... in Pascagoula ... and in YOUR hometown. The questions beckons us all:
Are we [the Church] prepared to reap the harvest?
I'm saying to me ... to us - the Church of the LORD Jesus Christ ... GET READY! The harvest is here ... the kingdom of God is near!
