I had the pleasure of preaching this morning in a small chapel that my church supports. It wasn’t until the end that I saw this sign was on the wall behind the over head screen. When I saw it I was instantly struck by what it declared. Immanuel, God with us. The small group of people that were gathered in that room this morning clearly love Jesus, it was so clear to me that God was with us as we met around his table for communion and as we prayed and worshipped together. I felt his presence as I preached, my prayer is that those listening did as well. I was so acutely aware of the truth in Matthew 18 v 20 “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” And I am so thankful of this.
