Summary of October 21 Care Group

We enjoyed a smorgasbord of desserts to start off the evening! Then Tony read to us from Psalm 9:1-2 "I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High." We finished sharing our personal testimonies to events or seasons in our lives where we knew God cared for us and showed his lovingkindness. Here are some comments:
-All our sharing of these stories are like sermons that keep repeating in my soul and I benefit from them through the week.
-God has used His church as an amazing, constant source of provision, encouragement and comfort through all the "stuff" of life.
-He is an ever-present help in trouble - much bigger than we ever imagined.
-We sometimes have scars after a trial as a memorial of His goodness and faithfulness to us.
-It's OK to have a scar, Jesus has them.
-We can profoundly affect younger believers by our testimonies of trusting God's sovereignty.
-What we believe about God is the most important thing, being able to trust that He is still faithful no matter the situation.
