Happy Valentines Day Broadman Family. May each of you know that you are loved this day.
“For God so loved (YOU) that He sent His One and Only Son (JESUS CHRIST), so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” (JOHN 3:16)
“God demonstrated His love for us in this way – while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
In I Corinthians 13 – the love chapter of the Bible we discover that “Without LOVE” we are nothing…and out of Faith, Hope and LOVE – “The Greatest of These is LOVE.”
May you know God’s unfailing love in your life each and every day.
The beauty of the cross and the power of the grave….CHRIST IS RISEN.
I absolutely love this modern hymn about the Risen Lord…I hope you will enjoy it and sing it in your heart.
If you do not know Christ may these words lead you to the conclusion that CHRIST IS LORD. He is the one true God. No other gods will be before Him. He has proven to be the Lord through His resurrection. He is RISEN in deed!!!! Happy early Easter…each and every morning.
I just wanted everyone to know that I am thoroughly enjoying this sermon series called from Humbug to Hallelujah. This past week we talked about Breaking Chains that we have forged in our lives. We learned that we reap what we sow. If we sow with seeds of the flesh, we will reap the corruption of the flesh. However, if we sow with seeds of the Spirit we will reap eternal things, even eternal life in our lives.
Make the effort this Christmas season to break chains of bondage that have been forged by our own actions and decisions. The consequences do not have to remain links in our chain. Christ came to bring us freedom and what Jesus has set free is free indeed. Let Christ break the chains that bind you this Christmas and may you experience what it means to be free.
I enjoyed reTHINKING church with you on Sunday. It was only the beginning, but I hope we all opened our hearts to God to reTHINK Church so that we make sure we are doing church God’s way. The sad truth is many people leave church never to return. This is not necessarily our fault. However, we must make sure we do everything we can within reason to create a church that honors God and removes obstacles that may cause people to leave or not stay.
Please note that I am not saying comprise the truth…we never compromise the message of God’s ways, teachings or Gospel. But we can compromise on methodology.
I do believe the Broadman is a unique body of Christ. I believe we have established a church that honors God by connecting with God, creating community, and proclaiming God’s truth.
In the end may God honor our attempts to reconnect with people who have left church. We had a good showing. Whether they come back to stay or not at least we tried and for those we invited who did not come, we may have to move on, but in our hearts may we always be mindful and ready to reach out.
In the aftermath of VBS 2009 I realize how profound this truth is in life…everything comes back to Jesus. I have also realized that this is one boomerang Satan wants to stop from getting back to us.
This truth is paramount to our culture…it is truth that Kids, youth and adults alike all need to here and learn.
VBS reminded me once again why Jesus said to bring the little children to Him, that it is better to place a milestone about your neck and jump into the sea than to make one of these little one stumble and why it is so important to come to Jesus with child like faith. VBS reminds me of what is really important for all generations.
I am more convinced than ever that VBS done with excellence can reach all age groups. It is all about living out child-like faith that Christ asks of us. This is something that kids understand and do naturally and it is something that youth and adults need to reconnect with so that is resonates in our hearts. Jesus is asking us to have child-like faith as we remember that in life “IT ALL COMES BACK TO JESUS.”
