One of our female coworkers in the gospel has received a consistently asked couple of questions when inviting people to our worship group as we seek God's will in establishing a church for hurting people-
#1 "Why do I need to go to church?" and "What will we do there?"
MY ANSWER:
God's people will be there and ministering to each other through the actual uttered Word of our Living Lord.
We will sing, say, hear, pray, read, preach the Word of God.
We will see the Word through the Lord's Supper and baptism.
What will not be there - mimes, hand puppets, a rock show, laser lights, smoke machines, interpretive dance,
self esteem building or life coaching.
We will call on His for help, salvation and healing while believing He will hear and answer us.
As we meet this Sunday 9-9-12 night for a time of worship at 6:00 PM meeting at Jack Waldrip Real Estate
we are inviting the unchurched to minister to them with the life giving and sustaining gospel.
(Check with us as we switch locations after Sunday 9-9.)
Pleas pray for the Lord Jesus to be lifted up and join us if you are led to.
To quote Dreamland Barbecues's slogan-
To be ministered to by the family of God - "Ain't Nothing Like it Nowhere."
James 5
13 Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him,anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed.The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
