Let’s Get Rowdy!

We’re reaching out to the rowdy! Because coming to Christ doesn’t mean you have to be calm and mild mannered. And rebellious people tend to do well when they receive the power of Heaven to resist the forces of Hell. We don’t need to be reformed but re-born, not merely conformed but transformed. And that’s what happens when we receive Jesus. He’s the Almighty Redeemer, who resurrects, regenerates and renews. And once His power within, He’ll complete the work He began. So we’ve got our eyes off all that’s wrong and onto the Savior, because He came to re-create not just modify behavior. We’ll do the preaching and let Him do the saving, because true union with God is what they are craving!

Matt 22:9-10

16 Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
…2 Sam 6:21-22
21 So David said to Michal, "It was before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the Lord. 22 And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight…
NKJV

1 Tim 1:12-17
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, 13 although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
