Each weekend, I look into the faces of people who have been beaten up by the world all week. They arrive with their spiritual and emotional batteries depleted. Here, in our Bible classes and worship services, unbelievers should be able to find a refuge from the sinful attitudes and actions found in secular society. There are people who are looking for the freedom from fear, guilt, worry, resentment, discouragement, loneliness, and sin. If a congregation is addressing those needs, we won t have to advertise our services.
Changed lives are a congregation s greatest advertisement.
Wherever lives are being changed the word quickly gets into a community. We want the word to get out in this community, that if you need help here is the place to get it. They can live the Christian life. This isn t a show, rather, the love and devotion that they see are genuine and sincere. This congregation is filled with ordinary, regular people who are really following the Bible and who are genuine Christians.
