The Spirit and the Bride say "Come!"

I came across a viral video from several years ago the other day. It shows a wild and joy filled dance up the aisle for wedding. Groomsmen and bridesmaids celebrating in dance as they enter, only to all gather again at the back of the church where the groom breaks through them all to lead them back up again. Finally, the bride appears, also dancing as she makes her way in.  Suddenly, the groom dances out to meet her and they dance forward to meet the rest of the party.

I think this is what it will be like when heaven comes to earth and the Jesus the bridegroom comes for his for us who are his bride.

Expectation!

Celebration!

Dancing!

Hope!

Joy!

What if we lived this way today as followers of Jesus? What if our lives were marked by expectant celebration and joy filled hope! Why not put on our dancing shoes and let our feet move to the harmony of heaven.

Happy dancing!

Matthew+

The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. Revelation 22:17

Sunday Morning Bible Study: Gospel of Luke

We hope you will join in with us for Sunday morning bible study. This Sunday, July 17, we will be reading and studying The Gospel of Luke. This week we will be working our way through Luke 18:35-43: The Blind Man: a Grateful witness.

Prayer Ministry

Our Prayer Ministers lift the suffering to our Father in prayer all day, every day. Some ministers pray after they awaken and others before they sleep. As their hearts beckon, most also pray several times during the day. If we may put you or someone you care for on the prayer list, please contact Janet Chubb at sherpani1@yahoo.com or (785) 409-5595. Except for the first name, which is read during the Prayers for the People at each Sunday service, Prayer Ministers hold all other information in confidence.
