I’m going to make you an offer you can’t refuse.
Extend an invitation you can’t decline.
Jesus was always extending an invitation to others.
Come and see
He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
Come to Me ask who labor and are heavy laden
Rest and peace.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Masses of men lead quiet lives of desperation - Henry David Thoreau
Why be overcome with the restlessness of sin?
Addiction
Anxiety - sure when we depend on social proofing and influencers to determine if something is good.
Divorce
Fear, worry, and immorality
EVERY SEARCHING FOR SOMEWHERE OR SOMETHING ELSE. Seeking for WHAT WHEN IT IS WHO will give them REST
Follow Me and I Will give You Joy and Purpose
And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
No greater joy than following Jesus. Enter into the Joy of the Lord.
A cause worthy of our devotion. The banner a blood stainded nail pierced body hanging from the cross of Calvary for the redemption of mankind.
If any man follow me, him will my Father honor.
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
Abide In Me
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
You belong - Romans 8:15
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
You are loved - Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
You are safe - Psalm 91:10-11
There shall no evil befall thee,
Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways.
