We had 2 great and powerful services over the weekend. On Sat, Pst How preached on Offenses and on Sun, Pst Paul Scanlon preached on loving people, the 15 Revolution.
It's so great to have Pastors back with us. When they are gone, it just feels wrong, and when you see them back on stage, everything just seems to settle back in place. Haha I hope you know what I mean! But anyway Pst How preached a great word. We can't be so easily offended...because offenses lead to betrayal and then to hate and deception and lawlessness and lovelessness! That's just scary. We have a great culture of speaking life in here and loving people, let's keep it strong and be big people who have such big visions that we don't have time for small petty offenses!
And on Sunday Pst Paul preached such a great word, I hope you can find a way to hear it if you weren't there! When we reach out we aren't spooky or weird, but we just love people, care about them, genuinely interested in their lives. That's how we want to grow the church - organically and not through events. Events are great but the best is still relationship evangelism! :) Think of it, wasn't it a friend or someone close that brought you to church? :) "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
Let's all take up the 15 Revolution, to commit 15mins a day to be inconvenienced by someone that we want to love. It doesn't require huge sacrifices but just that we open our eyes and love the people around us.
Before I end off a question that Pst Paul posed: What do you want people to say about your church? That it's a place filled with weird people, or the people who always stick to themselves? Or do we to impact our community, our world so much that any foreigner approaching a stranger to ask where Heart of God church is, would immediately be able to get directions because everyone knows who we are? And being known not for the sake of popularity but because we do such a good work there. And if Heart of God church ever closes down, the community would miss us?
15 REVOLUTION, ARE YOU IN? :)
