Welcome to our service today. It is great to have you here and we would love to invite you to stay after the service and join us for tea and coffee.
We often talk about and hear testimony of how we must take God’s great message of salvation to others so that they can respond to the Good News. How will our loved ones, neighbours and workmates hear it unless someone tells them? God is calling all of us to take a part in making His message known in our community and with those we interact with. Who is the one person you know who needs to hear the Good News and what is one thing or the next step we can do to help them hear it?
Many Jews who looked for the Messiah refused to believe in Him when He came. God offered His salvation to the Gentiles and many Gentiles who didn’t even know about a Messiah found and believed in Him. Some religious people are spiritually blind, while those who have never been in a church are sometimes the most responsive to God’s message. Because appearances are deceiving, and we can’t see into people’s hearts, we must also beware of judging beforehand who will respond to the gospel and who won’t. Let us all be praying for who God wants us to reach out to next and what that might look like for each one of us.
Blessings, Sandra
