provision, His Son Jesus Christ! The birth of Christ, His life, sacrificial death, and His resurrection, mean we can be free from guilt. When we pray, believing in faith, that Christ has forgiven our sins, God sees us as holy. We are covered by the sacrifice of Jesus!
Over 200 people prayed to receive the ultimate gift of forgiveness and salvation. Over 200 people have been freed from guilt, made new in Christ! Immediately following service, many took their next step of baptism. These people did not come to church planning to be baptized, but God stirred in their hearts. We had the clothes and the water, they were obedient, and hundreds celebrated together!
Christiana and a friend from FRCA, took in every moment; clapping and celebrating each time someone went under the water! I love being part of a church that so strongly believes in chasing after those hurting and lost in our communities around the world! What an awesome example my little girl has in her church. I am confident that soon, she too will take her first steps in her journey as a Christ follower.
Oh yes....the donuts! We bought 4 boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts. The box had a sticker on it, inviting people to church. We were encourages to give the boxes away to a stranger and wish them a Merry Christmas. I don't know who received the greatest joy; the person receiving the donuts, my little girl as she gave them away, or Christia and I as we watched Christiana give them away!
Where are you on your journey with Christ? What is your next step?
Who are you inviting to church this Christmas?
Have a merry Christmas, and invite family, friends and neighbors to be part of it all!
Great post! Love it that our church & our school are partnering together to help young and old reach their God potential. Whoooooohooooooo!
