Jesus Christ demonstrated his love for humanity by sacrificially giving his life on the cross and resurrecting from the dead. Because of this incredible act of love, those who are in Christ have become new creations. All of our past mistakes, sins, and miscues have been covered by the blood of Jesus. Our past no longer has the last word and final say over our lives. We have been given a fresh start. We have been reconciled to God and we, in turn, can give hope to others by making an appeal for God’s forgiving love to them as well.
I want to invite you to come worship with me at Ivey Baptist Church this Sunday at 11:00 a.m. as we receive God's Word for us in the second message of our series Love Reigns. Sunday's message is titled Love Reigns Over Our Past. We'll discover that for those of us who have a personal relationship with Christ, we are no longer defined by our past. We are more than what we've done. We'll also see that we are no longer weighed down by the burdens of our past. And we are called to decide; we should decide to get past our past by experiencing, accepting, and believing in the forgiving love of Jesus Christ.
Blessings,
Jimmy Allen, Pastor
