An Invitation to Worship

Come.
It’s is an invitation.
An invitation to join the community of believers.
It is an invitation to worship.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! Psalm 95:6

Let us worship.
There is something about corporate worship.
Something about gathering with others
To exalt, to praise, to thank the Lord.

Let us bow down.
Let us recognize His greatness.
Let us reverence His holiness.

Let us kneel.
Let us submit ourselves.
Let us affirm our subservience.

He is the LORD.
Our God, Our Ruler, Our King.

Our Maker.
Our Creator. Our Sustainer. Our Sovereign.

The invitation has been issued.
What on your calendar could be more pressing,
more urgent,
more important?
Will you respond?

An Invitation to Discipleship

By Paula Wiseman

Come.
It’s is an invitation.
An invitation from Jesus Himself.
It is an invitation to discipleship.

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” Mark 1:17

Notice Jesus doesn’t simply say, “Believe in Me.”
Although He says that often, throughout the gospels.
This is something more.

Come.
To come, what do you have to leave behind?
Are you willing to leave it?

Follow Me.
Stay close. Watch. Learn from. Listen to.
Imitate. Obey.

But there’s more.
Fishers of men.
Not fishing, like a vacation.
No. This is a job.
A task. A calling. A holy responsibility.

Discipleship
So what do you say?
Are you in?

An Invitation to Forgiveness

By Paula Wiseman

Come
It’s is an invitation.
An invitation from God Himself.
It is an invitation to find forgiveness.

Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. Isaiah 1:18

Think of all that forgiveness from God brings.
A restoration of the relationship that we broke.
A reestablishing of communication that we severe.

A covering of our shame.
A cleansing from our filth.
An erasure of our debt.

God takes the initiative.
He sees our predicament.
He offers a solution.

Do you need forgiveness?
For the first time?
For the latest time?
The invitation stands.
Come!

An Invitation to Relief

By Paula Wiseman

“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Isaiah 55:1

Come
It’s is an invitation.
An invitation from God Himself.
It is an invitation to find relief.

Water is one of our most basic needs.
Thirst is built into us.
It is signal we need to act.

Do you long for God, for His forgiveness, His salvation?
Isaiah tells you what to do.

Everyone who thirsts.
Come everyone who realizes you have a need
A need you cannot meet.

Come to the waters.
The resources of God are limitless.

He who has no money, come buy and eat!
And through His grace they are available to everyone.

Are you thirsty?
Come find relief!
