GOSPEL MEETING
MAY 18-22, 2014
MIKE LANE, SPEAKER
JONATHAN ROBINSON, SONGLEADER
POT LUCK FOLLOWING MORNING WORSHIP
Gospel Meeting! To many that sounds so old fashion. Today we have seminars, conferences, lectures etc. but to say “Gospel meeting” seems to indicate that we are just not up with the times. However, if we took the literal translation of it we would say, “Good News Meeting.” The word gospel comes from the Greek word, “euaggelion” (yoo-ang-ghel’-ee-on) and means “good news.”
Haven’t we had enough bad news? We are all going to die because the ladies use so much hair spray that the ozone layer is vanishing and we are all going to be sucked off the earth through the hole in the ozone layer. Wow! That scares us doesn’t it?
If you do have any money the economy is going to be so bad that it will be worth nothing. We just can’t seem to get over the housing bubble that burst.
Now, if you enjoy popcorn with butter on it you are going to become obese and die of overweight and be condemned for not eating carrots and celery.
Wait! Wait! There is good news! Christ came to save us
(Mark 10:45).
Wait! Wait! There is good news! Christ came to supply our needs (Phil 4:19).
Wait! Wait! There is good news! Christ came to be with us
(Matt. 28:19-20).
This good news will be preached in the “Good News Meeting.” You will be uplifted. You will enjoy wonderful singing. You will enjoy wonderful fellowship with those who love the Lord.
Aren’t you tired of being with people all day who do not love God and who use foul language, commit fornication and are filled with self-interest? Come to be the services every night and leave refreshed.
