A Great Experience in Canadia!

I had a great experience this past Sunday. During Thanksgiving break, I was able to go to Nova Scotia where I attended a little country church of about 40-50 people. The service was phenomenal! Although I can't say much for the music :), the pastor (and I forget his name) was a great man who really cared for his flock and had a real desire to teach them. During the song time, he taught his congregation deep truths that were a part of the song texts. His sermon was filled with Scripture and theological truth but practical and easy for the country-folk to understand. Before the sermon, he had all the children sit around him and he taught them a short lesson from the Bible and made it practical for them. After the sermon, he addressed a serious issue that had been taking place in the church. He confronted his congregation on the sinful way they had dealt with it and showed them a more Christlike way of handling the situation and then had us break up and pray for the people involved. Overall, the service was filled with truth made easy to understand from a guy who loves people and is passionate about God's Word. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this experience. I hope one day I'll have the privilege of serving alongside a brother like that in ministry.
