Beyond Sunday - One Prayer: Unstoppable Outreach

...by Dave Wright

Raise your hand if you feel like this from time to time. You pull into the driveway at the end of the day. Out the corner of your eye, you spot it…the neighbor you really don’t want to see starts walking up to say hi…and closing the garage door is not the right thing to do.

But this time, your neighbor has a question. Where do you go so early on Sunday mornings, he asks. Oh no…. the moment of truth…how do you answer?

The band played a song Sunday morning titled “The Solution” asking God to fill our hearts with his compassion…and the prayer that we will be his hands and feet. Doug’s prayer for this church was simple…Suncrest needs to reach out and spread the good news that God gave his son Jesus to die for everyone’s sins. It won’t be easy. It’s hard to get out of the comfort zone we have created for ourselves. The wonderful thing is God will give us the right words to say.

Outreach could mean going around the world…or answering that neighbor’s question. Will you be part of the solution?
