If you died tonight, where would you go?

Many of us have heard this question.  Some so much so we've gotten tired of it, or it's lost it's impact for us.  I mean really, how many people take such a question seriously?  You know you won't die tonight....right?  You know your spiritual house is in order....right?  Is it?  

The fact is, this is an honest, serious, and needed question.  Unfortunately, some Christians and churches have communicated it the wrong way - a way that has led to fear and rejection of the Church.  

It's a question we all need to ask ourselves.  Is our spiritual house in order?  Do we believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior?  Is the Holy Spirit alive in our hearts?  Are we trying to grow in our walk with Christ?  Are we....are you....truly saved?  

We will ask this question of us all Sunday morning.  We do so as we continue the series:  GRACE - what is It?  The sermon Sunday is "the Grace that Saves us."  It is the grace of Jesus Christ that saves us, and only that alone.  Have we received it into our lives?  If you haven't, this Sunday, as every Sunday, you will have an opportunity to know where you will be for eternity.  I hope you can join us for worship on this special Sunday.  Even more, we hope you'll invite someone who needs to hear the message of life saving grace in Jesus.

Sunday will be special and different for two reasons:  

1) We are moving our regular 10:30am worship service back to 11am.   This is because we will be leading worship at 9:30am at the United Methodist Mississippi Annual Conference at the Jackson Convention Center.  We'd love for you to also worship with us there if you are able!

2) It is Pentecost Sunday.  This is the Sunday in the Church calendar 40 days after Easter.  It is the day which we remember Jesus' Ascension to heaven and the Holy Spirit coming down to earth.  As the Holy descended onto the disciples, we hope and pray you will allow the Holy Spirit to invade and live in your hearts - this Sunday and always.

Have a great day, and hope to see you at church!
