Original post by greeneyedgirlUpdate: Church tonight was a mega hard hitting sermon, I felt myself really moved and challenged so was very conscious that Julie (my friend) would possibly find it more so. A lot of talk about us taking up our crosses and living life solely for God etc which is always tricky and makes us see our failings, but also a lot of talk about how God accepts us even though we aren't perfect. During the final round of worship songs we were encouraged to come up the cross at the front and take some bread and wine (not communion, just a way of remembering Jesus' death) and pray at the cross to know God's purpose for us, to stop putting us before Him and to act for Him and proclaim Him Lord, and as the only light was on the band, and people were just to go if they felt, there was no pressure or expectation or anything. I went up and I cried. I just felt so overcome with what a great talk it had been, and how much God has done for us and how little we've done for Him and it was just really moving. Then I was shocked to see that Julie of her own accord went up, so much praise for that! Then after the service she was willing to chat about it, wants to make it a regular thing and I'm just SO happy! How great is our God! What an amazing thing He has done! All the praise in the world cannot cover how grateful I am so thank you all for praying, it's amazing! I know it's not much, but for one of my uni friends to want to come to Church is just like wow, and for them to want to return...words can't describe how blessed I feel.
