The church preaches good news: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-- unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures

The Gospel is for: The Tired Those burdened with sin Those who have lost their way The troubled The guilty Those who fear death 1 Corinthians 15: in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Encourage positive change 1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. Regrets, sins, mistakes, bad habits? There is a place to begin again

Encourage positive change Men – next door neigbor – did a hurtful thing to his neighbor The neighbor hired a man to build a tall fence along the ditch between the two properties – never see that man again When finished – he saw – not a tall fence – but a bridge

Show how to live a meaningful life The world is shallow, empty, vanity, without any long-term meaning or purpose Useful life is what Jesus came to give us John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
