GOSPEL MEETING

Our spring meeting with Tim Wilkes is drawing near.  This is one of our many efforts here at Warners Chapel to fulfill the great commission. Jesus commissioned the church to carry the gospel into the entire world and proclaim it to all people.  The meeting provides you with several opportunities.

First, you can invite friends, neighbors, co-workers, relatives, and business acquaintances to hear the gospel. Brother Wilkes will be well prepared.  His sermons each service will be truthful and easy to understand. People will not leave the assembly wondering about what to do in order to be saved and live lives pleasing to God.

Second, you will be able to meet with the saints to worship God together from Sunday through Thursday evening.  This will accomplish many things. Your presence at all these services will encourage everyone else attending. In the process, God will be glorified and lifted up before the community.  You will also show the people around the building that God occupies the most important place in your life.

Third, you will be encouraged in your service by being present.  The singing will glorify God and uplift your spirit.  The sermons will help you learn more about the will of God for your life and challenge you to grow in your understanding and application of God’s word to your own life.  The chance to pray with the saints will remind you of our Father’s loving care for His children.  The promise of James 5:19 will be special as you consider the power of prayer when an assembly of righteous souls pray.

Fourth, Satan will be defeated in his effort to distract you from your work and service for the Lord.  As you attend each service Satan’s devises will be exposed and their effectiveness diminished.  You will be helped in heeding the admonition of John to “love not the world neither the things of the world” (I John 2:15).
