“The evangelistic harvest is always urgent. The destiny of men and of nations is always being decided. Every generation is strategic. We are not responsible for the past generation, and we cannot bear the full responsibility for the next one; but we do have our generation. God will hold us responsible as to how well we fulfill our responsibilities to this age and take advantage of our opportunities.” The preceding quote was from Billy Graham, and I would ask that you take a moment and read it again.
As we enter the month of September let me encourage you to take advantage of opportunities to invite the people God places in your path to join us at MRBC. Invite them to one of our worship services or Bible studies. Invite them to Sunday School or our Annual Church Picnic.
Here at MRBC we have a heart for evangelism. From our community prayer walks, to our involvement in the neighborhood elementary school, we are looking for ways to impact our generation with the good news of Jesus Christ. We continue to see visitors to our church and I believe that is directly tied to that heart for evangelism. We must never grow complacent, but must always be on the look out for the divine appointments God places in our paths each day. We each need to ask ourselves the question, who did I invite to church this week? Talk to your family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. If they are not attending another fellowship invite them to join you. Now go back and read Billy’s quote one more time. It’s this generation that we were called to impact. Will you join us in this mission? May God bless you as you do.
Mark your calendars and join us at Highbanks Park on Saturday September 18th at 5:00 pm for our Annual Church Picnic. See you there! God Bless You, Bro. Brett
A Special Invitation
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whosoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. Revelation 22:17
Our goal is to share the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ with everyone. Jesus came into the world to save sinners and to restore our fellowship with God. He came to give to everyone the gift of eternal life. You can receive the gift of eternal life by believing in Jesus Christ (John 3:16). To believe in Jesus Christ means:
- Admit that you have sinned and need forgiveness
- Believe that Jesus Christ’s death on the cross and his resurrection gives you forgiveness and victory over death.
- Commit your life to follow Jesus
Our church is here to assist you with your questions and to help you grow in Christ. You can e-mail me at maizeroadbaptist@yahoo.com for additional guidance and support. I encourage you to visit Maize Road Baptist Church and experience in your life the love and support of other believers.
