Hello
Friends!
I
hope you are enjoying all the benefits of being an active part of Bayside
Church, I know I am. If you're not, make it your priority this fall. Each week
we gather to celebrate the goodness of our God, to encourage one another in our
faith, catch up with friends and find ourselves captivated with
God's living Word all over again. Why
would anyone want to miss that?
We
opened our series "Portraits of
Christ" this last Sunday with great anticipation and
were not disappointed! John 20:31 "...these are written so that you
may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by
believing in him you will have life by the power of his name." We saw
Jesus as "Messiah" and found
ourselves directed back to Him for all things. We need not look for
another...Jesus is the One! Are you looking for another? Someone else to meet
the needs within you that only God can truly meet? Stop being disappointed with
people who can never fulfill you even though they promise and try.
We also
saw Jesus as the Son of God. He holds all power and authority...why would we
doubt Him? We were re-challenged to live our lives in the power of Jesus' name.
Truth be told...it makes no sense to live this life in any other name. I hope
you have stayed engaged in the message from Sunday and have not let go of it.
It's life-changing! Is your life being changed? Embrace your Messiah, Son of
God, and live life in the power of His name alone.
This
coming weekend we are covering the verses found in John 1:35-51 in a message
called "Come and See." Take
an early look at where we are going and see what God has to say to you.
We look
forward to seeing you, friends, and please know we love you.
