Dear Church Family,
What did the man need? His friends thought, “Isn’t it obvious? He needs to be able to walk.” However, the man had an even greater need: forgiveness of his sins. As we consider the needs we have, perhaps our list is pretty long. How great would it be to have a Savior that knows how to prioritize and take care of all our needs? The good news is that we find in Jesus exactly this kind of a Savior—one who knows how best to take care of all our needs.
Join us this weekend for worship whether on Saturday at 5:00 pm or Sunday at 9:30 am as we continue our series The Jesus I Need.
Pastor James Mattek, the Director of Ministry of Christian Family Solutions will be our guest preacher sharing the message from Luke 5:17-26 about how Jesus is the one who meets all our needs. After the Sunday service at 11:00 am in the HS commons, he will also be leading a Bible study and introducing a counselor live via teleconference Christian Family Solutions provides counseling and resources for individuals and families. I encourage you all to come for that!
