Day 62 - Touching Hands with the Beginning
These are incredibly exciting days for the Ironbridge family. God is moving in a mighty way. Our best and brightest days of evangelism, ministry, and Kingdom Advance are just ahead.
The beautiful thing about Ironbridge is that any new believer or new member can walk through the doors of our church and “touch hands with the beginning.†What do I mean by that statement? It’s really very simple. Any person walking through our doors for the very first time can shake hands with our founding families, those courageous and faith-filled men and women who left established, comfortable churches 20 years ago to start an exciting new evangelistic church in the heart of Chesterfield County.
Who am I talking about? You know many of them. We cannot honor them enough. We owe them all a great spiritual debt of gratitude for their willingness to attempt “great things for God†in their generation. People like the Osterbinds (Al & Cindi), the Jenkins (Paul & Mavis, and Steve & Karen), the Rogers (Butch & Patsy), the Wynns (Roy & Becky), the Moores (Wayne & Donna), and the Browns (Ken & Barbara), and the Childresses (Buddy & Cheryl) are all still with us to the present day.
We must never spoil their legacy with a spirit of hesitancy, fear, or a lack of faith. Let us take courage from their example of faith and press ever forward with the life-changing message of the gospel of Jesus Christ!
When you come to Ironbridge this weekend, whether you’ve been here for many years or just a few weeks, don’t miss an opportunity to touch hands with our incredible beginning!
Today’s Scripture Promise: “For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.†(Philippians 1:6)
