Nahum Helps the WBC Faithful Prepare for Easter


Okay, so maybe it was a stretch, but I thought it would serve the WBC body well, when reflecting on the enemies of God and His people (Nineveh - read Nahum 1-3), it would be a good time to think about those who will be destroyed without Christ that live in our own city and neighborhoods.


Thus, a good time to remember how to come with a servant's attitude for those who will be on our campus Easter Sunday, right?


You be the judge as to whether it was a stretch or not. Click here to watch, listen, or download the message from last night (should be up later today).


Here are the challenges/suggestions I made for active WBCers for Easter Sunday morning:


- Begin parking as far away as possible so others can have easier access.


- Intentionally look for guests who may need help finding their way.


- Intentionally look for those sitting by themselves before a worship service.


- Invite someone to come to church with you Easter Sunday


– Pick up a copy of God is the Gospel by John Piper and give it away! (See Desiring God's special here.)


- Be willing to sit in the lobby on Easter Sunday.


- Wait until guests are in and settled prior to taking your seat.


- Practice the Golden Rule before, during, and after your time on this campus.


- Be willing to serve in the nursery one service and attend another service.


- Invite a guest to your family lunch.


- Have a neighborhood-wide Easter Egg Hunt next Saturday and intentionally get to know your neighbors.


Can you think of any more???

YES! So happy to see the direction WBC is headed. I'm so proud of your staff team for leading the way. I'm praying for your Easter services right now.
