John 1:41 “Andrew went to find his brother, Simon, and told him, “We have found the Messiah.””

This last Sunday we were reminded that sharing our faith should not be a big heartburn moment!  We don't need to get all upset over trying to remember every detail of every verse, we just need to share our experiences with Jesus.  In the above verse we see that this was Andrew’s approach.  He did not go into a long explanation about this and that...he just told his brother Simon, “We have found the Messiah.  “I’ve experienced him!  You can too!”  There would be time to answer questions from Simon, and the truth is . . . Andrew would not be able to answer them all, but that did not stop him.  It should not stop us either.  People often don't really want to debate with us over their faith or lack of, but they are very open to hear of your experiences with God.  Pray for open doors to share with them all the excitement you have experienced.

“Questions We Ask God” is the subject of this week’s message in our series “Portraits of Christ.”  We ask God a lot of questions throughout our lifetime.  This weekend we want to investigate three that a man named Nicodemus asked.  Our passage is found in John 3:1-21.  Take an early look and jot down a couple of notes for yourself.

Come hungry to give God your worship and celebration.  Come hungry to honor God with your finances. Come hungry to catch up and connect with friends.  Come hungry to experience God through His Word to you.  Come hungry to enjoy the life of a follower of Jesus Christ!

We look forward to seeing you!
