WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT TO CHURCH? The apostle Paul wrote in Hebrews 10: 24,25 "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good work: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." You see, when Christian believer's gather in Jesus Name to worship him - he shows up through the Holy Spirit's presence. He speaks many ways, one of which, is through his ministers as they preach God's Word. It cleanses us as we hear the truth. Especially, the word that is fresh from the Lord and just what we need to hear. It truly feeds our soul! As Psalms 107:13 declares "For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness."
JESUS DELIVERS

JESUS DELIVERS!! First, he delivers from sin and separation from God, when we receive and confess him as our savior. That's why he died for us. Secondly, he delivers from demons. Yes, some are controled by demonic forces even today! Jesus came to set the captives free! Thirdly, he'll deliver, as in come to your home when you pray or are reading your bible. Fourth, he delivers on his promises. He is the truth and doesn't lie. We can believe what Jesus and God's word tell us about heaven and eternal life! 2 Corinthians 1:20 states "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."

Is It Free?

IS IT FREE? Yes, in the sense that you can't buy a relationship with God with money. 1 Peter 1:18,19 reads "...ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold...but with the precious blood of Christ...". That relatiohship comes only through an honest heart and faith. Will there be an freewill offering at church? Probably, but it is just that, a freewill offering. God doesn't want your money he wants you! When you are fully his, you will give him control of your money and honor him by supporting his church. You'll want to, in response to all he has and will do for you! Listen to what Isiah 55:1 says "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; And you who have no money, come buy and eat...."
