The Church of Eleven22

Rest is found in Jesus alone.

We are not mistakers in need of a life coach, but sinners in need of a savior. “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” C.S. Lewis

From a heavenly perspective Jesus isn’t simply a cuddly little baby born into a silent night, but God’s Almighty Son sent behind enemy lines on a rescue mission. “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10 As soon as you were rescued you became a part of the rescue team: 1.Pray for someone specifically that doesn’t know Jesus. 2.Invite someone to church next week (salvation message) 3.Host a Christmas in Box service 4.COMMIT TO ATTEND THE 1:30 SERVICE FOR 4 MONTHS BEGINNING JAN 11.

"And the King answered them, Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers you did it to me" Matthew 25:40

When ordinary people walk in extraordinary obedience they get to witness God’s Word made manifest.

Those who have experienced the freedom of being forgiven freely extend forgiveness. Who do you need to forgive? Will you leave a LEGACY of grace, mercy, and forgiveness or anger, bitterness, and resentment? 33 And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 34 And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers,[k]until he should pay all his debt. 35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.” Matthew 18:33-35

You may have trusted Jesus with your heart, but are you trusting Him with your life?

God’s greatest desire for His Glory is for His Children to come home. God isn’t mad at you. He is mad about you.

The only way to satisfy the unlimited desires of your soul is with the unlimited grace and love of Jesus. 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11

1. Often the most amazing things about Jesus are the things we understand the least. 2. That’s what the cross is. It is God choosing to lay all the deserved punishment for all the sins of all the adopted children of the God, on Jesus who was undeserving
