I think the most delightful and wonderful aspect to the creation account in Genesis is found in 2:21 – 23.  Here God had determined that Adam was not going to be fulfilled by himself.  Adam needed a partner, a companion, someone to share the days and nights with.  Thus, God caused a deep sleep to come over Adam and while he was sleep, God performed the most wonderful of surgeries.  He took from Adam all that was necessary to create for him a partner, a beautiful, attractive, and compelling companion.  When Adam awoke, God brought what he had created to Adam and in a word Adam said, “WOW!”  I can’t imagine what Adam saw or felt in a world that had not been touched by sin.  A woman today is enough to make us men say, “Wow.”  I can’t imagine what Eve would have made Adam say and feel.

As a church, it is our desire that we would have a church filled with WOW.  It is our desire that the women of our church would be beautiful, attractive, and compelling ladies.  Not because they are adorned in fine clothes or the latest accessories, but because they are Women Of the Word (WOW).  I pray that when people are exposed to the women of East Point Church, they inevitably say, “WOW.”  I pray that every husband would look at his wife and say “WOW.”  I pray that the younger ladies would look around at the older ladies in our fellowship and say “WOW.”  I pray that men would come to our church and not just look at our women, but listen to our women and say, “WOW.”

A church filled with WOW is a most glorious and good thing.  It brings glory to God and is good for His people.  Today I am really encouraged because I know our women desire the same thing.  This coming weekend is another opportunity as I our ladies seek to grow in their knowledge and understanding of Christ and the gospel.  As they meet monthly, the desire is to develop a community where we all are praising God for the blessings He has given us in the women of EPC.  As this continues to grow, like Adam all we can say is, “WOW!”
