'm looking forward to seeing you this Sunday when we continue with our series, We Came to Believe. We'll be talking about the joy of being part of a church community. We've all had times when we couldn't get to church on a Sunday, and so maybe we listened to a sermon on TV or even a podcast on the RHOW website. But God never meant for us to experience his love alone, separate from each other.

On the contrary, you probably can remember a time when being with other Christians was the only thing that kept you from collapsing under some great stress or sadness. It's that thought that we're going to explore this Sunday.

Hey Family,

I hope you've benefited from the series we've been preaching on the Apostles' Creed, which spells out what all Christians believe. This Sunday we welcome one of RHOW's most popular guest preachers! John Fils-Aime, senior pastor of Central Baptist Church in Manhattan, will be talking about the amazing role the Holy Spirit plays in our lives. Come learn more about the third Person in the Holy Trinity. I hope to see you at 10 a.m. on Sunday.

Hey Family,

Special guest speaker Pastor Mike Fleishman. When it comes to God, there are certain things that are easy to highlight and celebrate--like how he forgives our sin and how we will be in heaven with him forever. These are wonderful truths from the Bible that we love to hear. However, there are certain truths that we don't like to talk about so much, especially in our culture. One is God's right to judge--and not only that, but his insistence that he will judge. This week, as we continue our study of the Apostles' Creed, we'll talk about how God is going to come again and how he will judge the living and the dead.

This is an unbelievably important message for Christians. We have already been judged in Christ, and the judgment God will bring is for our celebration and joy. But for those who are far from God, he will bring a judgment of punishment. God doesn't turn a blind eye to injustice. He doesn't ignore terrorism, or children being allowed to go hungry, or the mistreatment of the poor. These actions and many others will be judged and addressed, and we can have confidence and even take joy in that truth.

Hey Family,

Last Sunday we were reminded that Jesus loves us to death, and that our sin is no match for his grace. This week in our series WE CAME TO BELIEVE we will wrestle with the question, did Jesus really go to hell?

We'll look at the part of the Apostle's Creed where we find a profound statement of what Christ has done on our behalf to win us to himself. There's literally nothing that Jesus won't do to win us back to an intimate, abiding relationship with him. Come this Sunday to find just how much you are loved.

Hey Family,

Many of us believe that before we can go to God we have to clean up our act, stop all our bad habits, and address all our sins, to be worthy of God's love. But the scriptures show over and over again that we don't pursue God, he pursues us.

This week as we continue with our series We Came to Believe, we will focus on our God who has pursued us throughout history even to this moment. This week will be one of the most creative services you will ever see here at RHOW, so think about inviting a friend! I pray that I'll see you at 10 am Sunday.
