Our Christian Witness

Words that offend many non-Christians and scare most Christians include, "evangelization," "witnessing," and "sharing the gospel."  The last words of Jesus to go and make disciples, has become uncommon in modern church life.  Things have changed radically since 1979 and the "I Found It" campaign.  That year, witnessing was common in the church, with many people added to churches like ours.

The text I will be preaching from this Sunday, March 14, is Col 4:2-6.  It includes these words, "Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.  Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."  (vs. 5,6)

The good news of faith in Jesus has not changed.  Our calling to let our witness be "full of grace, seasoned with salt" is more true today than ever.  Our culture may not be impressed with religious zealots, but they will take note of our lives that are filled with love, joy and peace, which is the work of God in us.

We welcome you to join us for worship this Sunday morning, March 14 at 11:00 AM as we discuss our Christian witness.  May God bless you with His favor this week!
