We all want to be part of church communities where miracles happen. The minute you meet Jesus you realise, anything can happen in his presence. Lives can be changed in an instant, bodies healed, the oppressed set free. The greatest of all, are those awesome moments when a greater measure of the glory of God is revealed to us. We were made to live for his glory and to celebrate his presence. So how does this become the norm instead of the exception? I think the secret lies in what each individual brings to the table. What each of us brings to the house of God.
