Have You Responded to the Invitation Today?

This past Sunday, our focus was on how much God invites us to join Him in the good things He has done and wants to do in our lives.

Specifically, Jesus invites us to:
  • Come and Rest
  • Follow Him
  • Live WITH Him (abide in Him)

When we accept His invitations, we begin to truly be filled up more and more with Him so that we are enabled to overcome every barrier to being like Him.

No, it never happens overnight. (And if you are like me, you grow impatient with the changes you want to see.)

Yes, every one of us (myself included) is on a journey and needs to be reminded daily of His invitation.

But He is truly at work in us, and He invites you today! Come and rest in Him, in His plan, in His timing, in His promises, in His reconciling work! Follow Him into the great purposes He has for you.

His invitation is to the greatness of His life and Kingdom. Live WITH him today. Slow down. Expect Him to speak. Wait for His plans and don't move and act ahead of Him.

Here is my question:
How are you responding to His invitations this week, and what difference has it made?

I would love to hear back from you. I sincerely pray for you and believe that you are on a changing and growing path.

Even if you feel you don't have a good answer to the question, I would be grateful to hear that. Please take a moment and comment below, or email me and let me know how it is going for you.

Why Do People Leave the Church?

This event is coming to Woodstock, and I would like to invite everyone to attend with me. Here is your chance to experience an Apologetics conference that will (I believe) be encouraging to your faith and confidence in what is truth. Happening, next weekend, March 7 and 8. https://www.faithandreasonapologetics.com/mary-jo-sharp/ In over 30 years of ministry, there is one aspect of church life that young people have shared with me that has caused them to leave a church. It has also been a primary purpose for them, leaving the Christian faith in general. And here it is, The unhealthy, emotional, and spiritual immaturity of life-long church attenders and believers. These have been people whom they wanted to trust and look up to, but who have lived with an offense, trivial criticalness, judgmental attitudes, hypocrisy, inability to relate to current culture, church hurt, etc. These have been some of the most significant factors influencing young people to walk away from the chur...

Keep Silent

Let All the Earth Keep Silent Sunday's message focused on learning to be silent. Silence is perhaps one of the most counter-cultural disciplines we can enter into as Christians. We were challenged to spend 2 minutes of silence twice a day in order to begin shifting our busy and noisy lives. How has your silence been? Have you been able to make time to be silent? If so, what has it been like? We would love to hear. Click here to let us know. If you missed the service, you can watch it by clicking below.
