Our Current Sermon Series:
According to Luke
Discovering Jesus
This weekend: "Kicking It Up!"
by Scott Taube
Luke 10:1-24
1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
5 "When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.' 6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house. 8 "When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 'Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.' 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. 16 "Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."

A couple of weeks ago we introduced a new Outreach ministry at EastPoint. This ministry focuses on meeting the needs of the African Refugee & Asylum seekers who need basic household items from furniture to cooking utensils. Your response was phenomenal. (Please stop by the booth in the foyer for more information on items you can help with. ) Immediate Need - Drivers One of the immediate needs for this ministry is drivers who are willing to pick people up for church during one of our weekend services. If you are willing to pick-up, drop-off or both for our Sat. 5:30 p.m., Sunday 9:00 a.m. or Sunday 11:00 a.m. service please sign up on a Connect Card, stop by the Home Essentials Kiosk or e-mail us. We have approximately 25 people in need of rides to church. Praise God! |
