Next Sunday we will be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus from the grave! What a great time to invite someone to our special service. We will be combining the two morning services into one service in the gym. You will not want to miss this special service, and we want to encourage you to bring at your SAVE5 people with you! Do not let this opportunity pass you by and them by. Let's invite people to come to God's house on Easter Sunday!
On Easter (and every Sunday) let us be a PRODIGAL FRIENDLY CHURCH! We know the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15. Jesus was talking to the religious people of that day, who were acting like the elder brother. They were pushing people away. I am glad that the prodigal son ran into the father first, and not the elder brother.
I pray that on Easter Sunday (and every Sunday) that we will embrace rather than reject the prodigals that come into our church home. Many prodigals still smell like the pig pen. They are marked and scarred by sin. They may look and act differently then church people. Their tattoos and piercings, dress, speech may be a little hard for some religious folks, but Jesus is not willing that any should perish. Let us be like the Father and embrace people and welcome them home.
I will continue these thoughts in my next blog.
