Jesus Loves Sin City

Craig Gross, co-author of "Jesus Loves You This I Know", will be with us Sunday to share his story of reaching out to people who are derailed by the temptations of Las Vegas. He has opened the Strip Church in the heart of the city that never sleeps. Craig is an excellent communicator with a message of hope for a life of freedom. Invite a friend to join you this week for a great experience in God’s presence.

This is a season with multiple opportunities for outreach. Christmas to the Streets reaches hundreds of people needing shelter, clothing, and food. It is a great way to express the love of Jesus to a hurting world. The VIP night at the Singing Christmas Tree is another outreach designed to touch the lives of hundreds more that find themselves in difficult situations this time of year. Please consider giving a few hours of your time for one of these wonderful expressions of God's love and compassion.

Matthew 24:34-36
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'"

Jesus Loves the Outcast

Jesus Loves You This I Know. This is the title of a book our outreach pastor, Jason Harper, has co-authored. The book is attracting significant attention and has climbed into the top 100 of all books sold this past week. Join us Sunday as Jason addresses the chapter from the book concerning Jesus’ love for the outcast. It would be great if you would consider inviting a friend to join you for this life transforming teaching.

Also, I would like to encourage you to prayerfully consider participating in our missions outreach. Every six months, we determine what we can give on a monthly basis to reach the world with the message of God's love. Sunday, October 25, is our next commitment day for this purpose. We spend a lot of money on consuming things for our own pleasure. When we give something away in order to touch someone else for eternity, we attract God’s favor and blessing. Please consider making a commitment to give a specific amount each month to reach our world.

John 15:15-17 "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other."
