Main Street Church

<p>Thank you Main Street for once again practicing our value of Irrational Generosity. Here is the highlight video that shows where and how the $106,000 you gave this year will make a difference in thousands of peoples lives.</p>

<p>You don't FIND God's will you RECOGNIZE it.<br><br>God gives us His general and specific will.<br><br>God's will is not BAD, is not FIXED, is not CONTRARY to His Word, is not HIDDEN and is not REVEALED to others first.<br><br>God wants you to know what He wants you to BE.<br><br>God wants you to know what He wants you to DO.<br><br>QUESTION: When it comes to God's will do you want to know it so you can consider it or so you can live and obey it?</p>

<p>Why you need to hear Gods voice?<br>-So Christ can function as your Lord and King!<br>-So you can know God as Father.<br>-So Jesus can be your LIFE!<br><br>DON'T FORGET: The voice you listen to the most will determine the direction of your life.</p>

<p>This past weekend we kicked off our new message series - HEARING GOD. Many people struggle with hearing God's voice but as Shawn reminded us - Jesus set the bar pretty low so that anyone can hear Him speak.</p>

<p>SUNDAY REMIX:<br><br>"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." -1 Corinthians 2:9<br><br>-Live in and with the hope of heaven!</p>

<p>SUNDAY REMIX:<br><br>Fantastic message today from guest speaker Justyn Rees on how to share your faith.<br><br>How do I share my Faith – with a drowning man? (ACTS 27)<br><br>• RELEVANTLY, speak to his need. Don’t offer him a drink.<br>• POSITIVELY, speak hope to him. It’s confidence he needs, not sympathy.<br>• PERSONALLY, speak from your own experience. It’s not a sermon he needs, but an example. <br>• INCLUSIVELY, speak to include him, rather than exclude him. We are all in the same boat.<br>• CONFIDENTLY, speak absolute confidence in God, rather offering the vague lifeline of “faith”. <br><br>ASk: What do you need today from Jesus?</p>

<p>In 2018 we sent a team of 13 youth and adults to Mexico where they had an incredible time serving the Mexican people of San Quintin. They built a house for a single mother and her 3 children, put on a soccer camp for the kids from the community, lead a VBS and spent time doing various outreaches in the area.<br><br>During the trip several people came to Christ as there Lord and Savior, the team was part of seeing people healed and the Holy Spirit moved in the lives of the team.<br><br>Mexico Missions is an opportunity to make a long term kingdom impact into the life of a local family, local community, and the local church. I hope and pray you will consider joining us on our adventure this year. If you are interested or have any extra questions please feel free to contact me at the church.<br><br>This year we will be building another house for a family in need and will have several options for outreach to the community.<br><br>Click the button below for more information about next years trip.</p>
