An Invitation

Hello! This is a personal letter addressed to YOU!
You’ve never been a Church person? You’ve never been to Church since your wedding day? You forgot the way to Church years ago? You only go to Church on Christmas Eve?
This is YOUR invitation!
This is YOUR welcome!
We invite you to come to Church because Christ invites you to come to HIM.
When you come to Church, come to CHRIST.
When you return to Church, return to GOD.
We welcome you because CHRIST welcomes those who come to Him.
Jesus says, “The person who comes to Me, I will, under NO circumstances, cast out” (John 6:37).
We welcome you because GOD welcomes those who return to Him.
God’s Word says, “Return to the Lord … He will have mercy … He will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:7).
 * Perhaps, you’re saying, “I’ve no time for the Church.”
GOD HAS TIME FOR YOU!
God has so much time for you that He sent His Son – Jesus Christ – to die on the cross so that you might receive eternal life by receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour (1 John 5:11-13).
 * Perhaps, you’re thinking, “I’m not good enough to come to Church.”
“Jesus Christ died to save sinners (people who are not good enough)” (1 Timothy 1:15).
Perhaps, you’re saying, “I’ve no friends in the Church.”
Come to Church, and meet new friends.
It may be the first step towards finding the greatest Friend of all – Jesus.
 * Perhaps, you’re protesting, “I can be a Christian without going to Church.”
You CAN become  a Christian right now by trusting Christ as YOUR Saviour.
Don’t be like the person who says, “I can be a  good footballer without playing for a team”!
Come to Christ NOW!
Come to Church THIS Sunday!

Lord, we worship You in the place of worship ...

Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).

“Whoever calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved.”

There is to be prayer from “every one who lives in the land” (Joel 1:14). It is to be personal prayer - “O Lord, I cry to You for help!” (Joel 1:19). These two belong together - prayer for the nation and personal prayer. This is expressed so well in the words: “O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee. Send a revival. Start the work in me.” We hear the words, “Return to the Lord, your God” (Joel 2:13). They are followed by some wonderful words about the character of God - “He is merciful and compassionate, patient and always ready to forgive and to change His plans about disaster” (Joel 2:13). How do we know that God is like this? We look at what He has done for us - “Be glad and rejoice. The Lord has done great things!” (Joel 2:21). Looking at all that the Lord has done for us, we trust His promise: “Whoever calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved” (Joel 2:32). This salvation is more than forgiveness for past sins. It’s more than the future glory of being in God’s ev...

Conversion

" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
