God's Revelation, Radical Experiment Update (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/16)

Many world religions say that you can never know God and have a personal relationship with Him. Although we can never fully know God now, He has revealed Himself to us. He has revealed Himself through creation. This is called general revelation.

Psalms 19:1-4 (NLT) says...
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.

God also reveals Himself through His Word. This is special revelation. As the J Allen Lewis Children's Choir sang this morning, "Yes, Jesus loves me...for the Bible tells me so!" The Bible tells us how God loves us and saves us through His Son, Jesus Christ.

So we do not serve a God who has not revealed Himself to us or does not want to have a relationship with us. He has sent Jesus to reconcile us back to Himself. And He has left His Spirit as a deposit in us. What a wonderful God we serve!


Radical Experiment 2011 update
  • Today's Scripture Reading: Genesis 46-47
  • Today's Country to Pray for: Egypt (87% Muslim & Christians has suffered greatly)

Dress Code, Spreading the Gospel to Japan, Skits & Pizza (Pastoral Emphasis from 7/26)

Thanks to all who came out to the Church Family Meeting. Our focus is reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even though we don't have a formal dress code at church, I think we have an unspoken one. Our guest may perceive a dress code based on what they see on the stage from leadership. So in order to remove any barriers that might prevent some from visiting us or feeling comfortable in our service, the leadership will dress a little more casual. We will try this out until the end of the year and then evaluate. So don't be surprised when you see me not wearing a tie! I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church. I was talking to my very dear sister, soror, friend Sis Brandi Hancock and she and I were having a heart to heart. I told her that I was
