we are still here

Redeemer Presbyterian Church College Ministry is still going strong! We finished Colossians, then moved on to a book by Martin Lloyd-Jones, The Plight of Man and the power of God. Now we are deep into Zechariah (the 31st book of the Old Testament). As we studied chapter 4 of this book tonight, we realized the depth our our human inability and the hope of God's sovereignty.

Zechariah was sent to encourage the people to continue the work of rebuilding the temple. The candles in this fifth vision represent the truth of God coming to a dark world. He is building His church and He will finish the work. Human plans fail and change. This is why we must pray and faithfully continue the work... through discouragement, through despair, through struggles.

These truths give us hope, especially in evangelism. We will see our churches, college ministries, and relationships grow WHEN we are faithfully doing God's work as He said to do it. He will complete the work.
