Sunday Reflections - October 28, 2015

I WISH THAT ALL OF YOU WOULD READ THIS!

This Sunday is going to be one of the best reasons to invite someone to attend.  Here’s why…

Galatians 4:6   “And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son in our hearts, crying out, 'Abba, Father!'”

Have you ever realized that God is pictured in the Bible as a Father? In His prayer to His Father, Jesus said, “And I have declared to them Your Name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” (John 17:26). What name was Jesus referring to? It was the name “Father”. If there was anything close to Jesus’ heart, it was to introduce God as “Father” to us.

In the Bible, Jesus said, “Therefore, do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’…For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.” (Matthew 6:31–32) Once, He said, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:11)

Jesus wants you to always have this image of God in your mind - that He is your Abba, Father. Why? Because He wants you to know that there is nothing more important or too insignificant for the Father when it comes to His children. Why? Because If it is important to you, it is important to your Abba, Father!

I will be speaking about this Name on Sunday, and I can promise you that if you will get people here, they will be engaged...and hopefully changed!  Go for the ask!!!  Don't just tell people about it – bring them with you!!  Let's do this!  

Two other IMPORTANT things:
          1. DON’T FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR CLOCK BACK ONE HOUR – Enjoy the extra hour of sleep.
         2. THERE IS A SPECIAL “NEW MOTHERS” ROOM NOW IN THE NURSERY. We are rapidly working to put the new furniture in and the “big screen”, so that our New Moms can stay connected to the worship service.  We value ALL of our Moms!

Can’t wait to see you Sunday!

Loving You and Him,

Pastor D
