We all stop at some point in life and look at ourselves and ask this question, “Does my life count for something?” Grinding through life just to eke out sporadic and temporary pleasures is a look that doesn't age well. Does our life have the look of just surviving or meaningful purpose? How do normal people experience a meaningful purpose in the midst of the daily grind of life? What's true of us individually is also true of us as a community A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum, and the news spread that he was at home. Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there wasn't room for a single person more, not even outside the door… - Mark 2:1-12 Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem….when four men arrived, carrying a paralyzed man to Jesus. Because of the crowd, however, they could not get the man to him. - Luke 5:17/Mark 2:1-12 So they made a hole in the roof right above the place where Jesus was. When they had made an opening, they let the man down, lying on his mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” - Mark 2:1-12 “Is it easier for me to tell this man his sins are forgiven or to tell him to get up and pick up his mat and go on home?” So he said to the man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone… - Mark 2:1-12 Observations: - Someone needed what only God can give - There was an obstacle (including religious people) - Friends simply but selflessly paid personal cost to bring to Jesus! - Friends' faith made a difference - Inside must be fixed first In the daily grind of life, these friends choose to do what they could to get their friend to Jesus! - Jesus is the life-giver, not SP - We believe in doing whatever it takes (short of sin) to get people in front of Jesus - We're selfless space-makers willing to pay the cost so others can see Christ - People can belong before they believe ANNOUNCEMENT: January 5th 2025 SP will have three services 8:30am – 10am – 11:30am Opportunities: Next Generation Guest Services Online/Production/Worship Cause & Care Administrative Jesus personally invites us to a meaningful purpose in partnering with Him in everyday living We're all-in believers in doing whatever it takes (short of sin) to get people to the feet of Jesus!

During the season of Lent, our eyes are focused upon the cross of Jesus Christ as we see His suffering and death on our behalf to take away the guilt of our sin.  But not everybody who was there saw it that way.  Our Lent theme this year is “Witnesses to Christ: People from His Passion”, a series that focuses on people in the Bible who witnessed the events of Holy Week from a variety of perspectives.  Pastors Redhage, Pool, Watkins, Anderson, and Dodgers from the Clinton circuit will lead us on our journey to the cross, seeing the events through the eyes of different witnesses.  Midweek Lent Service 3 Witnesses to Christ: Peter   Rev.

Have you ever thought of yourself as a walking, talking, breathing advertisement for Christ? People will see a negative or positive representation from our lives so let’s make sure we are doing a good job of showing who He is!

The Compassion of Christ People are like sheep without a shepherd (Matt. 9:36) Jesus taught and healed (Matt. 9:35) He died for us (Rom. 5:8) The Harvest is Plentiful (Matt. 9:37a) Seeds have been sown The field is ripe The Workers are Few (Matt. 9:37b) Jesus sends His disciples to work (Matt. 10:5-6) Join the Harvest
