Private Notes
Jesus cares about lost people more than anything else. He can’t stand the thought of any of us going through a single day feeling alone, which is why he invites each of us into a relationship with Him. In this message, Pastor Bob Merritt illustrates what lengths God will go to reach those who are far from Him—and he challenges us to carry that same urgency into our relationships every day.
So many of us feel like we’ve wandered too far or messed up too badly for God to ever forgive us. But in this message, Pastor Jason Strand unpacks how God not only forgives us without questions when we repent, but He runs to us, arms open and full of love. Because God wants every lost son and daughter would return to Him—and when they do, all of heaven celebrates.
Throughout biblical history, feasts have been a symbol of God’s grace and abundance. A relationship with Him is like being invited to a great feast that never ends—and it’s an invitation that’s open to everyone. In this message, Pastor Bob Merritt challenges each of us to prioritize following Jesus, rather than making excuses, and embrace the abundant life that He offers.
The seeds in the parable of the sower represent the truth and promises of God. God fills people’s lives with seeds, and they either grow in a person’s heart or don’t. It’s our job to keep planting seeds; it’s God’s job to change their heart. In this message, Pastor John Alexander challenges us to generously scatter seeds and invite others into a relationship with Jesus.
