ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
January 23, 2021
Scripture: Psalm 66:5
Come and see God’s deeds; his works for human beings are awesome…

Thought for the Day: Have you ever invited anyone to come and see the amazing things God is doing? Have you ever extended an invitation for an individual to experience the amazing love of God? In our current world, it is a bit more challenging as you’re not too sure where to go. The traditional go-to places are not as available as they once were, but I have been intrigued at what some of the Cypress Creek folks have been doing. People have been forwarding the sermons, devotionals and other digital content to friends across the country. Many of them have been intentional with what they have forwarded, sending it only if there was a specific connecting point… being able to say, “I thought about you when I heard the closing illustration of the sermon.” I don’t want to make it sound as if it has been hundreds, but since the pandemic started, I have received dozens of emails and Facebook Messages from people who have never been on the property of Cypress Creek Christian Church, but an old college friend forwarded the sermon and they just wanted to tell me how much it meant. When the church becomes overly focused on getting people in the chairs of the sanctuary it forgets the real task which is spreading the Gospel, sharing the Good News of God’s Kingdom.

Prayer: Let us be a beckoning light, an inviting example of your grace, O God. Wherever we go, let us be about the task of sharing the Good News. Amen.
