Please join us on Sunday morning as our fellow Brother, Rich Demeter Jr leads us in Praise and Worship; as well as leading and teaching us as we dig into the Word with his message entitled: “Do You See Me?”
We know as Christians that we are called to “Go to all the world and preach the good news about Jesus”. Evangelism is an important part of what Christ calls us to, but is that all we are called to?
Sometimes church is the loneliest place to be on Sunday when you are struggling with an issue. You are surrounded by people who are smiling and singing praise to God, so you put on a smile even though you are dying inside.
“Can You See Me?”
As a church we are also called to a pastoral role to those who are around us. Romans 12:15 encourages us to rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep or simply put, to come along side of them.
We like to throw the spiritual grenade of scripture and say good luck and walk away mission accomplished. Is this what coming along side of someone looks like?
We are going to look at how Jesus came along side of Mary and then Martha after the death of their brother Lazarus in John chapter 11.
The great teacher shows us a true ministry of “Presence”. He “Shows up”, “Slows Down”, “Listens”, “See them”, and then “Speaks Life” to them. He doesn’t stop there, “He walks along side of them”.
