HOLY, HOLY, HOLY
We begin our meeting this morning and we are so excited to have Devin Swindle with us.
Devin is Associate Professor of Bible and Ministry and Director of the Center for Preaching at
Harding University. He also directs the Kerusso Experience, which is a preacher training camp
for high school students. In addition to these responsibilities, Devin has served as the pulpit
minister for the Highway church of Christ in Judsonia since 2004. He has been married to his
wife, Rachel, for 19 years. They have four boys, Isaac (18), Elijah (14), Samuel (12), and Josiah
(9). When Devin is not preaching or teaching, he and his family enjoy traveling, hiking,
attending concerts, binge watching Netflix, and cheering on the eleven-time World Series
Champion St. Louis Cardinals.
I pray that our hearts are as ready for the gospel message to be shared, as I know Devin is
ready to share it. I want to encourage again that each of us plan to be present each evening to
hear the message Devin has prepared. The following is the list of topics Devin will be preaching
during the week:
“What is Holiness: A Biblical Survey” Sunday AM Bible Class
“I Saw the Lord: One Man’s Experience of God’s Holiness” Sunday AM Worship
“Be Holy: Maintaining Holiness in a Profane World” Sunday PM Worship
“Holy Sex” (1 Thess. 4:1-8) Monday Evening (7:00)
“Holy Marriage” (Malachi 2:10-16) Tuesday Evening (7:00)
Yes, it will be a full week, but I believe a week filled with a great message, great
fellowship and a reminder of how blessed we truly are as God’s children.
Even though we start the meeting this morning, let’s continue to be in prayer for Devin as
he preaches the gospel and for us as listeners, that we may take to heart the message of God’s
plan to be holy in His presence. And, yes, there is still time to invite someone to the meeting who
needs to hear the gospel message!
