Sermon: An Invitation

Sometimes we think we can handle everything life throws at us, but we cannot. We need God as our guide to guide us through situations, but God can't get involved if we don't invite him into our circumstances.

This sermon is a reminder that we need to extend an invitation to God to come into our situation. You won't have to worry about the RSVP. God will always YES!

Scriptural Reference: Psalm 27:8 “You have said, ‘Seek my face’. My heart says to you, ‘Your face, Lord, do I seek” Psalm 102:1-2 “Hear my prayer, Lord; let my cry for help come to you. Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly.”
