Standing in the gap...

While recovering from back surgery, various leaders have been asked to fill the pulpit for our pastor (Brian Long). This past Sunday Nathan was afforded the privilege to share what has been on his heart. God often coordinates circum- stances to test our faith, especially prior to preaching His Truth. With a challenge to look for 'miracle opportunities' prior to Sunday's message, Nathan noticed a blind young man at the SCO rally he attended on Friday (he was the keyboard player!). Believing that the Lord has called us to "do what He has been doing... even greater things than these" (John 14:12), and acting upon his faith, Nathan asked him if he would like to see. As Nathan and the school prayed for his eyesight to be restored, God improved the young man's sight! Nathan shared with our congregation that in order to "Live in the natural supernaturally," we need to step out and act upon what Jesus said we can do in His name.
