NextStepCC Edwin Colon

Hey family, there are so many people who say to themselves, “I’ll just skip this one service,” and then they stop attending church for a couple of weeks and even a couple of years. This Sunday is a great opportunity to come back and experience the beauty of being together and growing together with the body of Christ.

When we gather, we’re not just attending a service, God is constructing a soul. Because in our Christian life, just like in on Sundays, there are times when we just need to sit in silence and listen. There are times of singing, confession, testimony, learning from scripture. Times of eating with one another, serving and being served. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. this Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn, and please invite a friend who needs a Christian home.

"I'm exhausted, tired, need a break, stressed out... " These are all words to represent where many of us are even when we're in Christ. There are issues that face us and people that drain our lives, and the question is, not will it happen, but what will I do when it happens. This week we're going to talk about being renewed by Christ even when the whole world seems determined to drain us. Please come and bring all of your stressed-out friends. Service starts at 10 a.m. and so does iGnite Kidz, our children's church for ages 5-12.

ou don't have to be much older than 4 before you realize that there are some things you wish you had not done and some things that you wish you could do over again. Sometimes in life we do get a do-over and make things right with other people, but other times we find ourselves having to live with choices we wish we hadn't made, damage we wish we hadn't done, and regret we wish we didn't have to feel. How then, should we respond to this?

That is what we're going to give ourselves to this Sunday. We'll learn how God plays a part in our healing, even as we bring our regrets to Him and don't neglect our own responsibility, in everything from a misspoken word to having an abortion. I very much hope to see you there. Bring friends and family. Service starts at 10 a.m. and so does iGnite Kidz, our children's church for ages 5-12.
