Dedication Sunday, One Service at 10:00AM!
Join us on Sunday, January 19th, as we celebrate the dedication of 4301 Charlotte Avenue!
“But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:4-7).
Why did God make us alive, raise us up, and seat us in glory? So that he might show the riches of his grace forever. And this is no general graciousness, sort of a mood or attitude of grace. This is not the LaCroix of grace where you sort of get a hint of the suggestion of flavor of grace. No, this concentrated grace, potent grace, rich grace.
God’s salvation has a trajectory. It’s not just a change of condition, from bad to good or dead to alive. It takes us from an eternity descending away from him further and further into damnation and transports us to an eternity of drawing ever closer to him as he showers us in kindness as we discover more of his riches.
We were dead, buried, in sin. Then he made us alive with Christ. Then he raised us with Christ. Then he seated us with him, in Christ. And forever more he will show the immeasurable riches of his grace. Immeasurable riches - that means they never run out and we will never discover the limits of them, because there are none. In Christ, we will never cease to draw closer and see more and experience more deeply the kindness of God. Which is what he wants for us, because he is gracious and because of the great love with which he loved us.
DEDICATION SUNDAY 🎊
Join us on Sunday, January 19th, as we celebrate the dedication of 4301 Charlotte Avenue with a special day of worship and fellowship. The day will begin at 9:00 AM with a coffee and pastry hour, followed by a single worship service at 10:00 AM. Seating will be available in both the main worship center and Sadler Chapel. After the service, everyone is invited to pick up a lunch bag and find a spot on campus to enjoy a meal with others as we celebrate what the Lord is doing. You’ll also have the opportunity to tour the building, prayerfully walk the grounds, and dream about how God will use this space for His glory. This is a time to reflect, connect, and celebrate as a church family. We can’t wait to see you there!
Non-Ignorable!
