In the apostolic age, Christ, the Master Builder and Chief Cornerstone was laying the foundation of His New Testament church. He did so first, by ascending into heaven at the Father’s right hand. Then, following the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues, He miraculously added 3000 Jews to His church in one day. But the story was far more than numbers; He also gave them one mind and one heart. He gave them favor with all the people in the old covenant capital city. He added to His church daily. But this is NOT just a history lesson. NOW in the Central Valley, the Ascended Christ gives US the grace to continue in Apostolic doctrine, fellowship, individual and corporate worship. That apostolic foundation is as strong as ever nearly 20 centuries later. He holds His body together today too. This is easy to lose sight of as denominations and independent churches multiply. He calls us to engage in the communion of saints and to minister to the needy in Christ’s body. He summons us to commune closely with one mind in His house, with great joy and a benevolent heart. He has been adding to His church daily for 1985 years; and He will continue to do so in the Central Valley. It is very easy to focus on the heartbreaking losses PRC has suffered the last 15 years.It may be hard sometimes to believe He will add souls to PRC. But He’s done it before, and He can do it again. Wait on the Lord Psalm 123: 1 Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens.2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He has mercy on us.Pastor Mayville
