To answer two recent questions:
Yes, that is our pastor that has been seen down town begging for change.
No, it is not a ministry or social experiment.
Hope that clears things up.
The magic of the gospel is that ANYONE who repents and believes can be saved.
That means serial killers, racists, slavers, narcos, prostitutes, OF girls, politicians, abusers, cheaters, bullies, and liars.
““Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:6-9 ESV
Why?
Because.
God’s ways are infinitely superior to our own. He sent Jesus to be the final sacrifice for all humans, even thought we could never pay it alone.
That’s the only explanation we’ll ever get, and the only one we’ll ever need.
If you were disappointed with the Tyson/Ryan fight last night, come and check out FMC tomorrow!
We usually have a fistfight in the foyer and our livestream is ALWAYS unreliable.
The search for a new pastor is ON! We are very excited to see what happens. Get those resumés rolling in! The Associate Pastor will look them over after his meeting with his probation officer tonight. #newpastorFMC
Well, our pastor left the church. Apparently facing every day with a crumbling 200,000 square foot facility, crippling debt, and a congregation resistant to do anything different isn’t for everybody. #wimp
