Seeing Jesus in the Fall, Twisted Too, The Power of an Invitation (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/17)

Join us again this Wednesday at 7:00pm for our Bible Study series, "The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis". This week, we'll look at seeing Jesus in the Fall.

Don't forget to fill out the police survey given out last Sunday. If you didn't get a survey, please ask the ushers. Extras will be available at the Welcome Center. The survey is going to be used by a group of pastors and Cary police that I'm a part of that's working to improve relationship between the police and the African-American community.

Zone 1 members will be directing a service on this afternoon at 2pm at Brookdale Cary Assisted Living. Everyone is invited.


Next Sunday, we kick off a new sermon series, Twisted Too. We'll be looking at some more of the most misused Scriptures. Here's what we'll be covering...
  • 1/24 – Habakkuk 2:2-3: “Write the vision, make it plain” 
  • 1/31 – John 14:13-14: “Ask for anything in my Name, I will do it” 
  • 2/07 – Isaiah 53:5: “By His stripes, we are healed” 
  • 2/14 – Prov. 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go” 
  • 2/21 – Rev. 3:20: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock” 

My Hope Sunday is 3/20. We are asking members to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever or unchurched person to attend church with you. Bring in your commitment cards and start praying about who you will invite. Research says that 96% of the unchurched are at least somewhat likely to attend church if they are invited. Minister Hanebeck shared her testimony of the power of an invitation. She was not raised in the church and was in the US for work but an invitation from a member to attend Mt. Zion for two Easter services led to her hearing the Gospel and being saved!
