The name of the message is, "You're Invited" Do you have your invitation for the banquet? Have you ever been invited to a banquet? We all have been to weddings, birthday party's etc. This party is not one that you get to pick and choose who gets to come. We all are invited to the banquet celebration. The table is set, is there is a seat that is reserved for you? The meal has been prepared. The invitations has gone out, now it's up to you to respond. Here is a picture of our friends son's wedding they just had, incredible how beautiful the place looked. Can you image what the banquet in heaven is going to look like? How sad it will be if you miss out and the door shut. Many are invited and they will reject the invitation to enter in. They are going to miss out. How will you respond? Some might respond this way I'm too busy. 
Luke 14:15-24 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, "Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God." Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' (2 things is happen here 1st the initial invitation was sent out 2nd they are summons to the meal when it was ready )." But they all a like began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.' (surely no one buys a field unseen.) "Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.' ( surely no one buys five pairs of oxen without testing them first)." Still another said, 'I just got married, so I can't come. (surely no one would accepted a invitation, when you known your wedding plans our on the same day)' "The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.' Sir,' the servant said, 'what you ordered has been done, but there is still room. 'Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.'"

Don't get confused, there is only one true God and His name is Jesus. We live in a world with many so-called gods—the identity of the one true God matters. There will always be different religions and different God's that people will worship. But there is only one true God. Matt 16:13-16 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is? They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets. "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Jesus is the son of the true living God. Who do you say Jesus is? He is the son of God, He is omnipresent in our every day life.

Don't miss ​this Sunday's message 7/25/21@ 10:30 am  "God is looking for team player's". Sept 19 is called  "Back to church Sunday". Did you know that Sept 19 is called "back to church Sunday"? We have back to school night why not have a back to church day? Why do we have to wait till Sept to go back to church? God is looking for team player's now, will you be one? We all have a part. I think sometimes we forget that God has called all of us. We our like a big puzzle, no piece falls into place that easy. It takes several tries to find the right piece. But in the end we all will fit together if we work together. So how do we find our place in God's plan? How do we fit in? How do we start? Are you the missing puzzle piece? 
Here's a little Self exam test.

Rom 12:4-8 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

I'm forgiven. What a powerful word I'm forgiven. But do you believe it? Do you always feel like your forgiven? Even when you mess up? Do you feel forgiven for your pass? Do you see the word feel? You can't go on your feelings you have to go on God's word. Jesus paid the price for all of our sins at the cross. NIV 1 John 2:1-2 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
Jesus forgives even the sins of the world, so why do we still struggle with believing that He has forgiven us? Maybe because we see our self always messing up. But if we focus on God's forgiveness and releasing our pass to God, then we will see the victory.

You don't want to miss this Sunday’s message @ 10:30am. If you can't make it you can watch us live on Facebook @ New Life Christian Center Hurricane. Every one of us can relate to starting in some kind of bondage. Jesus is the chain breaker but you have to give it to Him 1st. Do you recognize when you're in bondage? Have you ever been in bondage? If yes, what was your bondage chain?
My bondage chains before I gave my life to Jesus were cigarettes, depression, and alcohol. What about being chained to pornography, overeating, gambling, sports; these are just a few that people can struggle with. What are you struggling with and are you willing to sacrifice it to God? Rom 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God this is your spiritual act of worship.
It's ok to share on this page what you are struggling with. We all have been there. Sometimes by sharing you bring it to the light and the healing process begins.
