It started in August 2004 and now, three plus years later, it's continuing. In my bi-weekly meeting with Pastor Scott this week, we found ourselves once again reflecting on all that God is doing in our midst and the way the Holy Spirit is prompting people to respond to God's Word. It's incredible in and of itself. That it has continued at a sustained rate, if not an increasing rate, is unbelievable. Though our combined ministry experience of several decades isn't even a hash mark on God's timeline, I can't tell you the number of times we've remarked to each other about how we've never seen believers respond in the way the people of Grace have been responding.
Each exegetical study has produced fruit. Each of us examines our lives and strives, going to great lengths, to apply the lesson(s) to allow the Holy Spirit to mold us closer into the image of Christ. All fulfilling God's promise that His Word will not return void. I've just never experienced it to the extent we've seen.
