The Gathering

I am reminded today of God's mission for the new gathering of people meeting on Sunday nights.  Psalm 147:1-5 says our purpose well.

1.  Our purpose is to sing praises to God for God's beauty and pleasure overflows into our lives (v.1)

2.  God is gathering the lost, the hurting, the oppressed and those who have felt abandoned and exiled (v.2).

3.  God is healing the broken-hearted and wounded (v.3).

4.  God is calling us by name to a higher purpose in Christ (v.4).

5.  We are declaring and witnessing the mighty acts of God as his signs and wonders touch His people (v.5).
