Soaked in the gospel

Ever read through the Matthew passage about using you bag of talents? Well, God has been prodding me into using my vision for His purpose. For over 6 months he had impressed me with the idea to begin a college group that was seeking to be centered in the Bible, worshipping the hero of the Bible, Jesus Himself.

I didn't know how this would work out, and as I continue to develop the heart to run this ministry, God ALONE works out the details. At our first meeting we had 25 people, with about 5 unbelievers mixed in. A good friend shared her story of how she "once was lost, but now was found", I taught from the Word of God, and a dear brother lead us in some music.

The message came out of Hebrews 2:5-18, which talks about the need humanity had for a human Savior. That saviour could have only been perfect, because perfect blood needed to be shed to forgive all sin. Jesus came to die as our propitiation - the appeasement of our punishment we owed God! That is rich, because each man actually has to make a payment of his life back to God. God says that either you will trust that Jesus made that payment, or you will make that payment forever in Hell. (Easy choice, right?!?!?!)

God was honored, and we are going to be meeting this coming Sat., March 14th at 7 pm in Newhall. I am eager to have him bring more unsaved to hear about the sweet name of Jesus, the Savior of the world.
