Come and See




          A point I often hear from members is that they have heard countless sermons on telling them the need to evangelize and bring others to Christ but no one ever give them a way to do it. Well, here is a way.
  Starting this week on the stand in the foyer we will have a stand for the tract of the month. Each month we will put out a new tract. First, we ask each of our members to pick up one of the tracts and read it for themselves.  The tract will be well written, eye catching, and full of good information. Second, sometime that month we ask you to give that tract to one person. You can so directly but there are many other ways to do it as well. Leave them in areas where people read things i.e. waiting room, lobbies, welcome counters. Set them out on the counter of your business. Have them on your desk.  Third, if a person that takes the tract, inform them that we will be having a series of sermons based on similar subjects this month at church and invite them to come to worship.  It is as simple as that.
Sometimes all it takes is to pique peoples interest is a simple invitation. In John 1:45-46,  Philip tells Nathanael about Jesus, that he thinks is the Christ. Nathanael is unsure about it but Philip replies to him, "Come and see."  That is exactly what we want everyone to do with this. Give people some information about Christ and his church and tell them to Come and See. This something everyone us can do to help spread the gospel.

Why Does A Lion Tamer Use a Chair?

  Ok, I know you have seen the image. A lion tamer enters in the cage of the beast and forces it to obey his commands using a whip, a gun and a chair. Now you can see how the whip and gun could come in handy but you might be wondering why a chair would intimidate an animal as powerful as a lion? Clyde Beatty taming a lion with a chair   It's not that the lion is afraid of the chair -- it's that the lion is confused by the chair. Cats are single-minded, and the points of the chair's four legs bobbing around confuse the lion enough that it loses its train of thought. Casually put, the chair distracts the lion from wanting to claw the lion tamer's face off. The powerful creature could destroy the chair in moment’s notice but instead it is distracted into submission.  It’s not too much different than how Satan controls us today. By the power of God we could overcome anything that he would use to subdue us. We can overcome the evil one (1 st John 2:13-14). ...

The Right to Arm Bears

  In the book of 2 nd Kings 2, we have one of the most unusual, violent and curious passages in scripture. It involves the prophet Elisha siccing a couple of bears on some kids that were mocking his bald head.    As a guy that is a little light on top that has been around some surly kids, I can feel for the guy. But seriously a bear attack? On kids? What is going on? ….young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, "Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!"  When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number. 2 nd Kings 2:23-25  It might help to explore the passage a bit more. The baldhead statement: This was an identifying mark of the prophet as opposed to Elijah who was hairy (1st Kings 1:8) a jab to say you are not him. The taunt to go up: Elijah has just been taken into heaven by the Lord a sight seen by ...

The Mighty Gulf

  It is hard to get people on two sides of an issue to come together. Each has their own viewpoint, their perceptive, their own foibles, their own understanding.  To gain any common ground there must be something in common. Something or someone that can bridge the gulf between the two.   Could there be a greater gulf than there was between God and man? How could a holy perfect God find a way to connect to the fallen, imperfect mankind? How can one without temptation connect to those who are beset by it? How could limited mortal beings understand an omnipotent eternal God?   In 1 Timothy 2:5, we read, “ For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus .” The phrase mediator here describes a person that bridges the gap, a go-between. Jesus was one who could stand in both worlds. A perfect holy one who can understand our temptations, a man who would die yet live eternally, One who was God yet became flesh and dwelt among us. ...
