This past Monday we held our evangelism meeting at Abundant Life.  There were many new faces this evening and the rows were full of attendees.  The service began with worship to the Lord.  Then one of the servants of the church shared his testimony.  He had been controlled by fear for a long time, and he had to take medication because of that fear.  The Lord has touched him and he is no longer totally dependent on the medicine.  The Lord is bringing him into His perfect peace.  Then the youth of the church opened with a skit about the Palm Sunday.  It was very creative and caught the attention of the viewers. 

Then I preached the message of Redemption.  My text was found in Isaiah 50:5.  Jesus was not rebellious to the Father’s will.  He did everything the Father commanded Him.  His face was set like a flint when he entered into Jerusalem.  I then spoke about the prostitute that was brought before Jesus to be stoned.  Accusers left when the Lord said “he without sin throw the first stone”.  This lady was redeemed.  The Lord told her to go and sin no more.  We were all bought with an expensive price, and He gives us the same command to go and sin no more. 

 I then gave the opportunity to those who wanted to receive this gift of redemption.  Many responded in the prayer time and chose to give their lives to our Savior.  So I leave this with you.  Our lord entered Jerusalem boldly not despising the shame, allowing His face to be spit upon, and His beard to be pulled out.  Even through all this He was not rebellious to His Father’s plan.  How much more can we submit our lives to our good Father. 

“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all”.
