This Sunday (April 18th) I preached in Cleveland Ohio, for Pastor Kevin Folger of Cleveland Baptist Church. (Pastor Folger is in Lancaster CA preaching for Paul Chappell.)
I preached a 35 minute message on the Necessity of the New Birth from John 3, gave the invitation and around 25 adults responded on the first stanza. Twenty of these adults made clear and definite decisions to be saved. Each of these individuals were personally dealt with. The vast majority of these were first time visitors.
There was great rejoicing from these new converts, the church and the Lord Jesus this morning!
“I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ it is the power of God unto salvation . . .” (Rom. 1:16)
We have always wanted to visit Cleveland Baptist Church where Pastor Kevin Folger pastors. What an exciting week! It was such an honor to preach that Sunday and a blessing to spend a little time with Pastor Folger. Christy and I spent our ‘off’ week here. We are thankful for friends!
