Thursday, our community was hit by a tornado, and the electricity at the church was restored Saturday morning. Some of our neighbors were still without power when we started worship Sunday morning.

So, I guess God wanted to emphasize the theme of the message He gave me because at a certain point in the sermon you’ll hear a gasp from the congregation then a moment of silence followed by me looking up to heaven and saying, “You’re a trip.” That was the moment when the power went out and then came back on.

The title of the message is TURNING ON THE POWER AFTER THE STORM.

Please comment.

Listen well.
