Turkey day is over-Thank goodness, says my waistline

The turkey has settled and we seem to be back on a normal week. I hope you all had a great week last week! I thank you for allowing me and Paige to spend some time with our families south of here. It was a blast to see some cousins and extended family/friends over Thanksgiving.

I had the opportunity to preach at FBC Houston, MS this past Sunday. FBC Houston has sponsored and supported Riverbend since day one. I thanked them for their prayers and their support as well as opened God’s Word up and preached. Please lift FBC Houston up to the Father today. I love so many there, and I desire to see God move afresh there.

Excitement is building in me! I am so excited about the “NEXT STEP” here at Riverbend. God has opened the door and has allowed us the opportunity to expand for His Glory. We are looking forward to the new building come February. I hope you all received a letter from Riverbend last week and that your family is praying to see what God would have you give to “Be a Part of More.” We are going to take up an offering December 12 and 19. God is blessing and He desires for us to be available for His use. As we move forward, physically and figuratively, please know that the adversary is out there seeking whom he can devour. We are in a war! We must remember to daily put on the whole armor and get in the fight. Satan wants to bring us down to defeat, and he really doesn’t care how that comes about. He is crafty and we must remain focused and on task for Christ. As you go about your week this week, please pray for the marriages and families in Riverbend. Pray for God to break through in some areas where people have built up walls and strongholds. He is able! You and I must Pray and believe!

I love you all,

Brian
