Invasion #3: 121510

Tonight we finished our series about invastion by talking about the current invasion that is going on. Jesus already came and he will come again, but the current invasion is him using us as his ambassadors to this world in order to reconcile himself with sinful humans. In order for us to be Christ's ambassadors we have to accomplish 3 things. #1 We have to live in this world and care for the people here. #2 We have to represent our leader in our words and our actions. #3 We have to actually try to convice others to come to our leader's way of belief. How are you doing as Christ's ambassador?

Invasion #2 -- 120810

Tonight we continued our series entitled Invasion. This week we talked about a coming invasion, when Jesus will return to this earth. We beleive that Jesus will return and it is somethign we find in the Bible. Acts 1:11 and Luke 21:27 tell us that he will return in the same way he left. mark 13:32 tells us that no one will know when it will happen. Revelation 22:12 tells us that it will happen soon. And Matthew 24:25-27 tells us that when he comes back it will be obvious to all, not a secret, that he has come back. We finished by reading 2nd Peter 3:3-11 which talks about Jesus coming back. In it we ar told that if he is coming back so soon what should our lives look like? Shouldn't we do our best to have a good relationship with God and live holy lives? So what in your life needs to change?

Invasion #1 -- 120110

Tonight we began our 3 week series on the topic of Invasion. An invasion is a military offensive consisting of all, or large parts of the armed forces of one entity aggressively entering territory controlled by another entity, whith the objective of either conquering, liberating or reestablishing control or authority over a terrritory. An invasion can be the cause of a war, be a part of a larger strategy to end a war, or it can constitute an entire war in itself. Due to the large scale of the operations associated with invasions, they are usually strategic in planning and execution. God invaded the earth in order to free us from sin. He announced his plans ahead of time and even announced when he did arrive. He arrived at the perfect time, but he only sent one, His Son. He was named Jesus, and he was a strong enough force to accomplish the goal to free us from our sins. It was the beginning of the end of the war, and started a countdown to the final invasion which we will talk about next week.
