Friday Greetings - January 12

From Pastor Vann


Seen and Seeing


Most of us want the people we care about to SEE us. In other words, we want them to perceive who we really are, to look past our defenses and masks, and know us in our innermost being. And then, we want them to accept and love us as we are, not as we imagine ourselves to be. Believers want, above all, for God to SEE us, accept us, and love us. Just as important, we are called to SEE others as we want to be seen and to accept and love others as God does. Being seen ... and seeing others ... is the theme of my message this coming Sunday as we explore John 1:43-51. Join us in worship!


Thank You
