Speaking Jesus
By Rick Mosher, minister
We recently sang a worship song that was new, at least to us, called “I Speak Jesus”. It mentions speaking Jesus into a number of life situations in which people need Him. It speaks of the hope and freedom that Jesus brings. It speaks of the power, healing, and life that come through Him.
Folks, “speaking Jesus” is what we seek to do in and through the Licking Christian Church. It’s what the church has always been here to do. This calls to mind the Apostle Paul’s, words in I Corinthians 1.23-24, “…but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”
We want you to get to know Jesus. His life and teachings show us a better way to live than that of this world. His death on the cross, burial, and resurrection provide the payment for our guilt of sin and our means of victory over sin and death. Through Jesus, and Jesus alone, we can have a relationship with God, leading to eternal life where all the pain and frustrations of earthly life are no more. Jesus said in, John 14.6, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Jesus has made a huge and wonderful difference in my life and in the lives of many people in our local church. He longs to do the same for you. Would you like that? If so, take Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Put your faith in Him, repent from sin and make Him the Lord of your life, confess your faith in Him, and be baptized (immersed) into Him for the forgiveness of your sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then go on living in Him this wonderful Christian life and “speak Jesus” into the lives of others.
