We took a slight detour from the Bible Characters series that we are doing to talk about pumpkins and how God and His love for us can be seen even in carved pumpkins!

We pray that you will invite Jesus into your life and make Him Lord of your life.  If you need to pray about this with someone please call Pastor Harvey at 323-316-7131 and he will be glad to pray with you.

After singing a few songs, then as a congregation we read together aloud the following scripture...

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,

19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

The Light of the World is Jesus

Here is the text - 
Ephesians 1:4-5
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love

5 He predestined us to adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

Romans 3:23
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Colossians 2:14
14 having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

Matthew 5:14-16
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;

15 nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Again, Denise and I are available for prayer.

In Christ,

Pastor Harvey
