At the end of this past Sunday’s sermon, “I Am Rewarded,” together as a church we celebrated some of the rewards Jesus has graciously allowed us to enjoy.
The Bible promises God’s faithful servants, “Whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord” (Eph. 6:8). These rewards are internal (a good conscience), eternal (life with Jesus forever in heaven), and occasionally external (tangible rewards in this life).
Recently on Easter Sunday, the people of Mars Hill received some external rewards as we experienced the joy of worshiping as a church of over 21,000 people and witnessing 424 people baptized into new life in Jesus. After 17 years of ministry, we never, never, never, ever tire of seeing Jesus change lives.
This month’s church family update also includes recent giving figures, a status report on our building fundraisers in Tacoma and Everett, and a quick overview of the next couple of sermon series. We’ll begin our study in the book of Acts later this month, and then in August I’ve asked a few friends of Mars Hill Church to come and preach their “best sermon ever” (more details coming soon).
All of this is tremendous evidence of God’s grace on Mars Hill Church, and we are grateful.
