As we ready ourselves to begin

This coming Lord’s Day {March 2nd} marks the day we begin our chronological march through the Word of God. As was stated earlier, The Story is a guide to enhance our study of God’s Word. This morning’s lesson is designed to gear us up to begin our methodical approach to scripture. The following passages will be shared by me during the sermon. I wanted to list them so as to allow you to stay one step ahead of my message. 

Genesis 3: 8
Exodus 13: 21-22
Exodus 19: 10-12
Exodus 33: 7
John 1: 14
Ephesians 3: 17; 5:18
Acts 2: 1-4
Revelation 22: 3-5
There’s a word you’ll hear this morning; a word that epitomizes the ultimate desire of God. It’s the word ‘closer’. Some have been misled to believe that because of our rebellion and sinfulness that it’s up to us to make a slow, steady march back to God. Nothing could be further from the truth. God continually shows Himself to us in amazing ways, not only through scripture but in our lives as well. It’s not that we don’t have decisions to make in regard to God’s mercy toward us; it’s more that in view of God’s unfailing love we need to base our decisions on His ways and His truth. We’re glad you’re here and it’s my prayer that your heart will be changed as you worship your Creator today. Please complete this form and return to me letting me know of your intentions. In no way am I trying to ‘guilt’ anyone to attend services on Sunday evening; I simply want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to join in one of our discussion groups. Please continue to pray for our efforts!
