LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SATURDAY & SUNDAY

LAST SUNDAY we had a great finale to our series UPGRADE. This was Perry's synopsis of the message from his blog earlier this week...
" As we said this past Sunday Revelation = Responsibility! If God has put someone on your heart that does not know Christ OR that once walked with Christ but has “strayed off the path” then you are responsible to have a conversation with that person. You are NOT responsible for their reaction…but you are responsible to be obedient to what God has said. Remember what Jesus said in Luke 14:23 (go and MAKE them come in) and what James, the brother of Jesus said in James 5:19-20!

I am SO thankful that God is a God of second chances. As we talked about Sunday Mark quit, he walked away…but Barnabas believed in him enough to not just pray for him…but to pursue him and bring him back to the faith. AND…God used Mark in an incredible way…and his impact is even being felt across the world even today (as we have the Gospel of Mark!) Who needs you to be Barnabas for them today? Who needs someone to step into their lives and TELL THEM that God wants them to come home? (See Luke 15:11-32)"

THIS SATURDAY & SUNDAY we are celebrating our RISEN Saviour. We have spent the last three weeks encouraging you to not just invite your lost friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family but to BRING them.

We have been a church for 16 weeks now and what God has done is AMAZING. I am so grateful to GET TO do what I do. I am also so thankful for all of you that He has blessed me to do it with. Our campus has averaged 434 people and we have seen 56 salvations over the past 16 weeks. In praying for Easter I thought, "what if the people coming did what we asked?" That would result in 868 people at our Easter services.

Most people who would say "no" to an invitation to church any other time, will come at Easter and Christmas. It's also been proven that most just need to be asked and they will come. With that in mind and a challenge from Perry to not pray any weak prayers, I have asked God to make our people obedient and that we would see 1000 people at our Easter services and 56 more salvations.

We have just a couple more days...WHO ARE YOU BRINGING?

Service Times: Saturday 6pm and Sunday 9:15 and 11:15

We are loading in Saturday at 1pm. Join us if you are available to help. If you are coming to the 11:15am and don't have plans after, please stick around for a few minutes and load out with us.

CAN'T WAIT FOR SATURDAY & SUNDAY!!
