Evangelist Craig Cobb: NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH WINTER REVIVAL - "MORE THAN CONQUERORS"

The Lord gave us a tremendous meeting last week at New Hope Baptist Church in Collins, New York. It was their annual winter revival. Evangelist Don Hardman and I have been preaching this meeting since it began back in 2004. Pastor Jack Seiler is out of our church - Old Time Baptist Church.

Every year Bro. Hardman prays for the theme and this year it was "More Than Conquerors" out of Romans 8:37. The Lord was trying to get some things across to His people in the messages concerning living the Christian life the way God wants us to live - in VICTORY! We are not talking about the false "prosperity doctrine" being preached in a lot of the Charismatic circles, but rather the fact that God has saved and delivered us and He wants to live in victory - over sin, the flesh and the world. The Word of God is a book of VICTORY.

It never ceases to amaze me how the Lord always seems to fit the messages together in meetings like this. Bro. Hardman and I do not discuss and plan ahead of time what each is preaching. We both do our best to pray and rely on the Lord to bring it together and He did just that! It was a much needed meeting in so many ways for so many people. Pastor Seiler was very encouraged as he saw the "big picture" of the meeting and what the Lord was doing in the services as well as behind the scenes.

Several area churches came out and supported the meeting during the week. Three churches (including Old Time) brought their mid-week services: two on Wednesday and one on Thursday. A few families from these churches were faithful to each of the weeknight services. It is always good to see churches who can work together and encourage each other in this fashion.
