Greetings in Christ!
A singer and songwriter by the name of Gordon Jensen wrote a song some years ago which mentions the fact that you and I as Christians are the only “Jesus” that many people will see.
No, this does not mean we are Jesus Himself of course. We know He is Jesus all by Himself, yet it should be our goal and desire to be just a bit more like Him every day by sharing what Christ is like. We are to be “lights” in a dark world!
Greetings in Christ!
As we move our attention away from the “lazy, hazy days of Summer”, and begin to focus on the Fall Season, I wanted to take just a moment to remind all of us of the tremendous value there is in living lives of service for the Lord in ministry. Many people wait until school starts before they once again turn to the church both to have needs met, as well as to be on the giving end of seeing people ministered to.
I just wanted to take a moment to briefly write to let you know how much I appreciate your work as Associate Pastor here at First Christian Church. What a joy it is to labor for the Master right here where God has placed us and our families. There is nothing so pleasing as being in the center of the will of God.
Greetings in Christ!
We are looking forward to the tremendous things God is going to do through the ministries of (NAME OF CHURCH) as we move into the Fall Season. Many ministries are gearing up to be stronger than ever before as they seek to be a blessing to both our church and community.
Time is one of those things we all have on our hands. We might feel like we have little time or a lot of time, but the reality of it is that we ALL have the same amount of time to deal with. It's up to us however, HOW we spend that time!
Greetings in Christ,
Kyle Idleman has a tremendous preaching/teaching series called “Not a Fan”, and with first glance at the title it might seem like the statement is being made that we shouldn't be a “fan” of Jesus, and really, this is what is being stated!
The idea though is that so many people are actually “fans” of Jesus and not “followers” of Jesus. When Jesus was here on the earth He had a lot of what would be considered “fans”.
