God will make it grow.
Sunlight will warm the soil thanks to our Creator. The Water of Life will make the soil wet with grace. The Spirit will breathe renewing breath of Life. By the power of God, this church plant will grow in an unlikely place: a prison!
Why the name New Life Prison Church? My hope is that the new church plant will be a community where we can celebrate new life in Jesus Christ. It also will be green with growth. Christ will transform the hearts of men so that they will grow in his grace.
Below are some key stopping points in the Word.
NEW: He who was seated on the throne said, I am making everything new! Then he said, Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true. Revelation 21:5
LIFE: Jesus said, "I have come that they may have Life and have it to the full. John 10:10
PRISON: Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison. Hebrews 13:3
CHURCH: The Son of God "is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy." Colossians 1:18
How about your start up, Rick? Is it still running fine? Hope all is well with you. God will make us grow. ~ Prank.
