I try not to use this platform as a tool to promote a program or bring attention to our church in a self-serving manner. My heart in what you will find in my ramblings here is to always point people to a deeper walk with Jesus.
But today, as we move toward Christmas and the celebration of Jesus’ Advent, my mind turns to the world and its need for a savior. With all the turmoil in our world – war, drugs, human trafficking, abuse, fear – we see need in every direction. But at the heart of alleviating the turmoil is Jesus.
People need Jesus.
People will see Jesus in us.
But will the Jesus they see be a true representation of who he is?
This morning, our church will gather at the parking lot of the football stadium and give away food to 200 families. We do this every month, but today, each family will get more food than normal – a lot more.
But the real beauty of what will happen this morning does not stop at the food that will be given away, the real meaning today will come in the conversations and prayer – the sharing of compassion with the people of our community who have landed on hard times. Today, our church has the opportunity to be agents of transformation and hope in a very concrete way.
I have to tell you – I can’t wait to see what God is going to do!
