Waverly Church of Christ

You and I possess the greatest news this morning that mankind has ever heard or will ever hear. It is the news of a Savior who came into the world to give us salvation — freedom from the bondage of sin, guilt and the death which accompanies it. Just as the Father sent His Son into the world, so His Son sent His disciples into the world telling them, “Go therefore and make  disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20a). That command has not changed. Paul Harvey once said, “Too many Christians are no longer fishermen but keepers of the aquarium.” God does not call us to keep house, but to take His message outside these walls and proclaim it to those around us. For the church in Jerusalem it was persecution which moved them to take the gospel beyond Zion. God shares with us some great truths which we need this Lord’s day — let us search for them as a soul thirsting for God.
