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
