Elder-Led Prayer, My Hope Sunday, The Gospel for Bikers (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/25)

Thanks to all who attended yesterday's Theological Seminar on "The Doctrine of Sanctification". If you missed it, you missed another good one. You can check out the recorded video and pick up a handout at the Welcome Center.

 The next Elder-led Prayer will be held on Wednesday, February 28th, from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. If you are not able to attend but have prayer requests, you can submit them online.

Our next My Hope Sunday is 3/18. All members should start to pray about who they will invite to that Sunday.

Today, we welcomed Bro. Mike Jerkins' biker group. There were about 50 bikers in the service. I shared the following verse and message with the bikers.
"In your majesty ride out victoriously for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; let your right hand teach you awesome deeds!" Psalm 45:4 (ESV)
The writer of this psalm is talking about a king who was a mighty man of valor, who demonstrated his valor by riding forth to champion truth, humility, and justice. I encouraged the bikers to be men and women of truth, humility, and righteousness. But this verse is also a picture of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the victorious One who is full of truth, meekness, and righteousness. When Jesus came into Jerusalem, He didn't ride in on a Harley but a donkey. He came humbly but He was the Warrior who defeated sin, death, and Satan by His death on the Cross and resurrection from the dead. When sinners trusts in Jesus, all of their sins are forgiven (which is our greatest need). And when Jesus returns for those who trust in Him, He will ride on a mighty white horse.  After sharing the Gospel with them, we anointed those who wanted it and I prayed for them as their riding season is about to start in March.

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
