We Have God's Love.

Feb 17

‘See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!’
1 John 3:1

Dear Journey Family…

Children of God. That’s what we are. Not bragging. Just quoting a truth from the Word. More in a humble, underserving attitude. Because we don’t deserve it. We deserve eternal punishment for our sins and transgressions and for breaking God’s law. Several times.

But only through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross we can become children of God. To all who received him, to those who believe in his name, God gave them the right to become children of God.

Yes, God is crazy about us, but not crazy in the same way a little teenage girl goes love crazy for her favorite celebrity type of way; God doesn’t lose his head over us. His love is more of the love of a father seeing his children lost and going in a dangerously wrong direction and doing whatever it takes to bring them back even though they refuse to listen to him.

'He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? ' Romans 8:32. It would be crazy to die for someone who is not crazy about you. But he did it. He planned it and at the right time, he came to die for you and me. Fully knowing what that was going to cost him.

May his name be praised and may we humbly surrender to him and follow him. Every day.

Join us this Sunday for our morning service. We hope to see you!

Community Easter Egg Hunt

As we mentioned last week we are starting to plan ahead for our 2023 Community Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 8th at 10am at Coffman Park in Dublin by the Dublin Rec Center. We are getting super excited for the prospect of all the people we will be inviting.

We will once again ask you to bring eggs. We want to have thousands of eggs. Last year with the number of people we had there were a few of our kids that had to give up their own eggs and gave them to some of the other kids that didn’t make it to the hunt quite on time, so great learning opportunity for them and wonderful to see their giving heart.

We will have more details on this event, but we want to get started with the eggs, so save the date and feel free to start bringing eggs with individually wrapped candy inside.

New Easter Sermon Series

Starting Sunday, February 26th Pastor Brian will kick off our Easter teaching series, and we will be focusing on the last 7 phrases he said according to the Gospels. This is a great opportunity to invite someone new to the service.

We are here to encourage you when you might be discouraged. One way to do it is by reminding you to read along your Journey family the New testament. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t start at the beginning of the year. Every day there is a new year starting, so hop on and start reading.

If you have been keeping up with the plan, congratulations! His word is our reward. You will reap a reward of a changed life for his glory for being a hearer, a reader and a doer of his word.
