The little church on the corner
While the building looks large, the church itself isn't all that big. That's what I'd have to say about our little church on the corner in Ogden. Our pastor often refers to us as "the little church on the corner" but that little church does some big things.
A friend of mine from church called me yesterday and we talked on the phone for 20 minutes or so. It was a welcome call. I miss my church family. We had a pretty good talk about some of the things going on in our lives and God used the time for each of us to build the other one up and provide some mutual encouragement. It always amazes me how He works, but I could write volumes on that subject.
My friend mentioned our little church on the corner and described how that place is full of something on Sundays that the previous place my friend worshiped at was missing. I thought to myself as I listened, "that's the Holy Spirit".
Our little church on the corner has changed quite a bit. We had to. And something I learned from a rocky time our church had I think has prepared me in a way for this season of upheaval in my own life. God sometimes takes us out of our comfort zones to grow us.
I see that in my friend's life as well as my own, in similar ways. It was nice to talk to someone who can kind of relate to where I'm at for a minute. A lot of things happen in that little church on the corner and I see God using that church in some pretty unique ways I wouldn't have thought a while ago. One of the really cool things I see happening is that the building isn't containing it the way it used to.
The church on the corner is very much alive. And when it's all over and we can actually meet together again, I'd invite you to come and see it for yourself.
