It’s Time

'And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. '

Luke 21:29-31

Dear Journey Family…

Jesus is coming. Soon.

There are things that we can look around and see and confirm it. “Signs” , if you will.

Jesus said to his disciples that no one knew the time of his return to establish his kingdom. He also told them “pay attention to the signs”. With the recent attacks happening in Israel, our attention is heightened as we pray for the safety of God's people, and for protection from the violent advances by HAMAS.

We still don’t know when The Lord will come back but if you pay attention to the signs, things are falling into place.

You might be inclined to think “we’ve been saying this for two thousand years now.” Fair. But, first, we can’t be further away, we are only getting closer. Second, the acceleration in some events predicted in the Bible (we are not going to get into those right now. This is meant to be a short letter), in the last years and decades compared to the last hundreds of years doesn’t compare. We must be getting closer.

So, what! Great news, right?

Here is the question: how are you preparing to meet him. Remember the whole “well done, good and faithful servant”. Are you in that category. With that in mind, what are we supposed to do to prepare.

There is a number of things. One of the most important is bringing others along to the knowledge of Christ. At the very least, let them know about the savior and the good news.

How are we doing in that area? His coming is closer. We have the ulitmate blessing of his message. Did you share it this week?

What If They’ve Never Been To Church?

You might know people who have never been to church. They need to hear the Gospel. God put you there for that reason. How do you go about that?

Join us this Sunday, when Pastor Brian will take us to the book of Acts and we’ll see Paul being confronted with the reality of speaking about Jesus to people that never heard of him.

Don’t miss it.

Sunday at 10 am.

Reaching Out

Our Outreach Halloween Parties are on their way and they will be a great opportunity to spread Jesus’ message in the community.

When? October 31st evening.

Where? Two locations in Plain City: The Moran’s (Stan and Crystal) and The Langford’s (Tyler and Crystal).

What? Two groups from Journey will be passing out candy and starting conversations with families that could lead to sharing the Gospel or to making contacts for future follow up, invitations to church, etc. Sign up starts this Sunday to form the two groups.

Why? It’s part of the Great Commission to go and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15).

If you can’t go to either party, you can still participate by donating candy. If you would like to help with that, please let us know or bring it to the church on Sunday.

Christmas Choir

Felix Weber our Worship Leader is preparing for this Christmas Season and is working on a Christmas Choir. If you are interested, please talk to him on Sunday or email him HERE
