Dear Church Family,
What an awesome weekend we had at church for the start of our new series on Welcome Back Weekend! We had our highest attendance since Easter and the most first time visitors (50+) we’ve had in a long time. God be praised! And a huge thank you to all of you who invited someone to church!
One email I received this week about my message really encouraged me regarding how the Holy Spirit is working in our hearts: “From a very personal spot I found the message very relatable to myself and the different things that I have allowed to take over part of my heart…The beautiful message of God wanting our whole heart and his love really put some things into perspective for me.”
I’m looking forward to continuing our series Battle For Our Hearts this weekend. I hope to see you there or to know you’re worshiping with me online. The big idea coming up is that we live in a world where everyone wants to be “King of the Hill” – on top of the world with success and money, etc. But with all these things that are so attractive, we can easily end up worshiping them as false gods that keep us from the real relationship with Jesus that we need. So together we will look to God’s Word to see how we can defeat these idols from taking over God’s place in our hearts.
Worship Saturday at 5:00 pm or Sunday morning at 9:30 am. Bring a friend!
ICYMI:Watch my sermon from last weekend. God is jealous for your whole heart…and that’s a beautiful things.
