Life-Change Sunday

This Sunday our marriage series will end. The last four weeks have been eye opening for many and have given many more hope to continue on in what seems to be a difficult marriage.

This Sunday we will speak very clearly about the only way a husband or wife can have these attributes in their personal life. Attributes like:
* The ability to love unconditionally
* The "want to" to love sacrificially
* The willingness to understand and accept
* The willingness to forgive
* The desire to submit and serve
* The ability to love your spouse as much as you love yourself

To have these characteristics in your life fully and completely, you must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ who is the perfect picture of these things and He allows us to embody them also....only because of His power in us.

As a Christian who knows the love and grace of God....do everything you can do to get your family and friends who are not Christians here this Sunday. They will be given a clear opportunity to understand who Jesus Christ is and why He desires a personal relationship with them. If you know someone who thinks they are unworthy...have them read today's Bible reading.

As a Player at CSF, please remember to park and sit in Player Parking!

Today's Bible Reading: Acts 22

Did you know the Apostle Paul was a hater of Jesus and His movement? He killed Christ followers and was standing there watching as Stephen was stoned to death. However, after all that, Paul came to faith in Jesus Christ and spent the rest of his life serving Jesus and His way!

There is nothing you and I have done...that God won't forgive and give us a do-over!

*** Say a prayer for the 108 Students who will be at the retreat this weekend!
