Pastor's Corner

for Sunday Sept 11th
“ I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world, lost in a sea of faces. Your body’s the bread, your blood is the wine, because you traded your life for mine.” (Sea of faces by Kutless) Do you ever feel insignificant? Have you ever struggled to find your place in this world? When these moments of doubt creep into our minds we can go directly to scripture to hear from God just how important we are to Him. When we are feeling lost in this world, we can turn to God who will recognize us out of that “ sea of faces “ call us by name and reach out His loving hand to us. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Eph 2:10) “They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” (Rev 17:14) The above scriptures tell us we were created in Christ Jesus to do good work, which God himself prepared in advance for us to do. We are no mistake, we are well thought out, premeditated, creations of the one true God. God had a plan mapped out for our lives before the creation of the world, He loves us, He puts great importance on our lives and especially our souls. Cling to the cross and be a called, chosen, and faithful follower of Jesus. His acceptance of you and what He accomplished at Calvary are evidence of just how important we are to Him. You are significant because God has chosen you, if you make your relationship with God paramount in your life, He will make your place in this world evident.
