This is a subtitle for your new post

Come and See” - Pastor Ty’s Blog


14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” - Romans 10:14-15


“Who in your life needs an invitation?                         

God still works through the local church to change lives. Your invitation could be the beginning of someone’s salvation story. 

Meditate on what God’s Word says about:           

    Sharing the Gospel - Mark 16:15 “He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.’” 1 Peter 3:15 “But in your

     hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you

     have.”

    Creating a Welcoming Church - Luke 14:23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to

     come in, so that my house will be full.’” Romans 12:13 “Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.”

    Building Community - Galatians 6:2 “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Matthew 18:20 “For

     where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”


  Invite someone to “Come sit” with you this Sunday. It could change lives.

Amen?

Hope and Perspective by Pastor Ty In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” we see a great change in the character, George Bailey. What is different about George Bailey's life after Clarence (Angel) shows him what life would have been like without him? In terms of circumstances, absolutely nothing. At this point, for all he knows his life is exactly as it was a few hours before; Clarence did nothing to change that. The Bailey Building and Loan has still lost $8000- it could be forced to close and people could lose their life savings and jobs, rumors of embezzlement – the family ruined – George’s Arrest -Scandal! But George has changed! He has a new Attitude… a new Perspective on what’s really important Family, Friends and his Faith in God. It’s easy to forget in the movie that the real change has nothing to do with money and affection on Christmas Eve. The real change is within his soul. For the first time George Bailey is looking at life with new eyes. Same for a group of shepherds at the first Christmas – they had a change I attitude/perspective in Luke 2 the angels put on a celebration to announce the birth of Jesus. The shepherds went and found the baby Jesus. Their station in life had not changed but their attitude had: The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (V20) May this Christmas give us a new perspective and a vertical focus all year long.
