My wife and I host a community group in our home every Wednesday night. For the past 10 weeks we've been meeting with the same 8 to 10 couples many of which are brand new to PCC. We especially love getting to know new people in the church and hanging out with those that are either new to the faith or still checking Jesus out.
Last night we were discussing the Easter message and digging into the scriptures pertaining to Jesus' death and resurrection. What was so cool about the meeting was that one of the couples explained how they understood for the very first time what Easter was all about. It was so cool to hear them explain that after months of coming to PCC that they really grasped what Jesus really did and what he was all about. In fact, they prayed together with the group to affirm their faith in Jesus as the risen Savior.
Friends, that's what church is all about. Sure, I love Sundays and the big day with the crowd and the programs and the band and everything. But church is really about helping people come to faith in Christ and trusting in Him for everything. In fact, we hung out with another couple who stayed for a hour after everyone had left for the night and shared with them how Jesus has changed our life. They are still investigating the claims of Christ and checking the whole church thing out. It's so awesome to have a church like PCC that welcome both saint and sinner alike. That no matter where we are on the journey of faith, that we accept one another and do our best to help them get a little closer to Jesus.
