LENT IV WEEKEND WORSHIP.....APRIL 2ND & 3RD..

LENT IV WEEKEND WORSHIP..............APRIL 2ND & 3RD.. Cast of Characters.....Common People in the Hand of an Un Common God...This Weekend: Mary, Martha & Lazarus.....playiing in God's band... This weekend we will continue in this holy season of Lent to go and grow deeper in our faith. We have shared in the past weeks...Matthew a Friend of Flops....The Woman(streetwalker) who washed the feet of Jesus... This weekend we think oif Mary... Martha... Lazarus.. These 3 remind me in the scripture that we need each other. We live in a society that permates that we don't need anyone. Isolation..On Your Own..mistrust...are all the key elements to a happy life.. Not according the scriptures.. This story in John points to us that we need each other... Some play the drums-------like Martha Some Play the flute---------like Mary Some play the Trumpet-----like Lazarus.. God calls some to be a Martha----servers.. God calls some to be a Mary---worhippers God calls some to be a Lazarus---Testifyers... God does nto call us to be Judas...but we have alot of them running around.. The one who takes...takes...takes...moans, complains...but never does anything.. So hope to see you as we think about needing one another and playing in God's band.

Lent II Weekend Worship...19th & 20th....

WEEKEND WORSHP.....LENT II.....MARCH 19TH & 20TH..





Message: Cast of Characters: Common People In The Hands Of Un-Common God:


This weekend: Woman Who Washed Jesus Feet: The 747 Principle..



This weekend we will be looking at a certin immoral woman who dared to bring a jar filled with expensive perfume...she knelt at the feet of Jesus and began weeping and with her tears that fell upon the feet of Jesus she wiped them with her hair..then she kissed the feet of Jesus and put perfume on them..



The Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this...he said...If this man were a prophet he would know what kind of woman was touching him...She is a sinner..



Jesus said...I tell you...her sins are many...they have been forgiven...so she has shown me much love...

Now the 747 principle..

Luke 7 vs 47.....But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love....



This is where we will be heading this weekend in worship..



We can't give what we have never received..

Why are there so many people running around who forgive little and love little?

Because they have not received forgivness and love...



The secret of Love is being loved...



So this weekend...



We will be letting this God of love love us...

Care for us...forgive us..



Then maybe we will be able to forgive alot...and love alot..



Hope to see you this on this Lent II Weekend



Stay Faithful & Finish Well,

Lenten blessings

Your friend and Pastor
