Jesus Took Our Place

Evangelist Billy Sunday told a story about a young Confederate soldier in the Civil war that was sentenced to die. A short time before his execution an older soldier stepped up and said, "I have lived most of my life but this young man has most of his life yet before him. Let me take his place." His request was granted and the young man lived because someone took his place.

God loves us so much that he sent his son Jesus to take our place.

Romans 5:8 says “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.”

This Sunday is the Sunday before Valentine’s Day. We will study God’s incredible love and how to share this good news with others.

Join me in prayer for this weekend’s services and bring someone with you to receive God’s love.

It is an honor to serve as your pastor.
