I've been working some more on the first message for the Compassion Journey which is only a few weeks away now. The first week deals with Jesus' words, "I am the bread of life." The first steps to Christ-like compassion is through faith in Him.
We always try to keep people aware of series that we are preaching, but I want to ask you to really pray for the Compassion Journey. I really think that it has the potential to change our church, and those that come into the church. I'm asking that we be a church of inviters in order to get people to hear this series.
The spiritual destiny of our community will only change when they are brought face to face with the teachings of Jesus. How does that happen? It happens when we are living proof, when we are the face and hands of Jesus serving in our community; giving a care about whether people are continuing one more day apart from Jesus. Join me in praying like this series all depends on God, and working like it all depends on us.
