What is the purpose of the Christian Church? Isn’t it supposed to feed the hungry and heal the sick? Please join us this week as Rev. Homer Larsen helps us learn the basic reason that Jesus came to this earth and what he calls His Church to do.
Scripture: Mark 8:31-33
He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter, “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
Renewing Reflections
It is our prayer that Renewing Reflections will be a blessing in your life this coming week. This quote is taken from the sermon Preaching in 2009 delivered on Christian Crusaders January 4, 2009 by Rev. Larsen:
We are now in the year 2009. Will we live this year as pagans or as God’s children? We know that the goal of those living outside a relationship with Christ is to satisfy the desires of the flesh. God’s law has little influence on their lives. Some of them will remember parts of moral teachings they received along the way believing that, to a certain extent, in the notion of right and wrong. However, they decide when and if to put these rules into effect. Humans are rebellious by nature and want to do their own thing.
About Christian Crusaders
Christian Crusaders is a nonprofit ministry dependent upon gifts from you, our listening audience. Many people choose to contribute a $100 Broadcast Sponsor gift ($100 is the average cost of one half-hour broadcast on one radio station.) Others provide a GEM Club Gift (Gift Every Month). All gifts are tax deductible.
Christian Crusaders is thankful for the blessing of all gifts and your partnership in sharing the Gospel.
On the Light Side
Stop Redundancy
The Committee for the Reduction of Redundancy and the Antiproliferation of Repetition has decided not to meet until they have their first meeting and thus will not be meeting until the first time. Their Pre-Meeting Statement wanted to make this clear before they had their first meeting to avoid causing any confusion. So their first meeting will actually be their meeting and they will not have a meeting before the first meeting. This should avoid having people show up for their first meeting before it is held, since to do so would be confusing to those who did so and this is what they want to avoid by reducing the confusion and lessening the repetition.
