2 Peter 3.18 - Gospel Growth in Us

Today Pastor John will point us to Jesus. John is a great example to me. His dad, Charles, my first pastor, baptized me and married Dayna and I. When I received Jesus in 1972, John was already in ministry. By 15 he transformed his family's garage into the "One Way Inn Christian Coffee House" where about 100 young people gathered every Friday night for worship and the Word. Once John got us to sing and share in the shopping district of our Los Angeles suburb for weeks. One night I joined him sharing Good News with a shopper. Like the Arctic River -- I was frozen at the mouth! After some weeks, seeing John's gentle manner and people's positive response; I eventually stepped out - with new believers standing nervously beside! So, the Gospel moves forward, as one fearful worker after another finds confidence in God.
