Preaching tour this weekend

This Sunday I get to preach at Concord Bible Church, the first time I've ever preached at church that I didn't attend. It's also the first time I've preached a message that I've preached before. I'm doing Genesis 32 (the night Jacob wrestled with God)

Concord Bible Church is an EVFree church which lost its pastor a few months ago and has been busy with fill-ins since then. That's got to be a difficult time for a church with no pastoral leadership. I've never been part of a church that has gone through that. Also the lack of stability in regard to sermons has to be difficult. I thik also that they are struggling a bit financially. When I talked to their administrator Lynn, she said somewhat dejectedly that they were down to 80-90 people on a Sunday.

Lord, please bless this congregation. Provide them with a spiritual leader who can help them grow in You. Give them Your Strength and Your Power in the midst of these difficult times.
