Sunday Service

Marc spoke at two services on Sunday. The morning message was "It's Not About Us, It's About Jesus".

His key points were that it was Jesus who sacrificed for us in the first place. We must show love even in life's most difficult situations (that one was for me). And because we know that Jesus sacrificed his life for us, and because we should must love even in difficult situations then this should make it easier to walk by faith and not by sight.

The afternoon message really brought it all home though - "Just Tell it Like It Is". He talked about the need to reach out beyond the four walls ( he even stated that he knew he was a sounding like a broken record, but that it was important that people "get" it). We must take the gospel where the people are (stop expecting them to come to us). We demonstrate the love of Jesus by taking the time to get to know the people that we minister to (they won't trust you until you show a genuine concern for their situation). Then and only then can we introduce them to Jesus Christ.

Its funny, but Sunday there seemed to be an electricity in the air that hasn't been there before (as if God was sweeping away the cobwebs). There was something going on that I can't explain in words. I just know that no matter what happens in the next few weeks.....Marc and I will be ok.
