Where has the voice of the nation, the faith nation, gone? The strength of those who were some of the mightiest evangelists has, in my opinion, died when they passed and those who were supposed to take up the challenge of the greats like D. L. Moody and Billy Graham to mention a couple, have been attacked, bullied and abused by a nation focused on self. Sure, there are some strong evangelists out there but listen to the message, it is often watered down to meet the needs of the masses rather than take on the needs of the lost. If you think I am being harsh, guess what, I am and the one I will be the harshest is myself. I read a meme the other day that said: “if you want everyone to like you, go sell ice-cream”. I can guarantee you that regardless of how soft or “grey” a stance you take in life, someone will have an issue with you. If you are trying to get through life with your head low and hope to never be the cause of any issues, at some point you will step on toes so why go through life fearful of causing a problem? Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying we should all rebel and fight the system, I am, however, saying never be afraid to live your faith. There will be some who will be rubbed the wrong way by your stance but hold firm and seek out strength in the Holy Spirit. Consider this, for forty days, the disciples followed the risen Saviour and they learned at the feet of the Master. They went to the chamber after He ascended and waited as directed and the Spirit came upon them like tongues of flames, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. This Sunday we are going to look at this but I want us to focus on this most important message; Peter, who denied Christ before the crucifixion, who cried because Christ confronted him at the feast after the resurrection, who hid behind locked doors after Christ was buried, this same man stood before thousands after the Holy Spirit filled him with divine courage and he spoke boldly to a crowd who were gathered to ridicule and bully the followers of Christ. The passion of the message was so powerful that it touched the hearts of many and about three thousand were saved! The message was simple, Christ is Lord, He loves us all and died for our sins. Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away —all who have been called by the Lord our God.” Then Peter continued preaching for a long time, strongly urging all his listeners, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!” Acts 2:37-40 NLT This weekend, we celebrate the message of Pentecost. We would love for you to join us either in person or online Sunday at 10:30 AM MST. Facebook Live - Main Ave Fellowship YouTube Live – You Tube We look forward to seeing you this Sunday.

God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. Hebrews 4:1 NLT Over the years, I have done some wild things, made some huge mistakes and, in almost all circumstances, I have learned a thing or two from it. If you want the nitty gritty of these escapades, I am more than willing to share but I will tell you this; with every story I tell, I will also tell of the lesson. There were times when I would indulge way too much but did not see the effects until I quit drinking to get drunk. There was so much I missed during these times and there is no way to get it back. I used to work far too much (still do on occasion) and, again, I missed out on so much and, while there is no way to get it back, I do try to make amends for the errors of the past. Like I said, there are numerous things in my past that still haunt me, events missed, occasions forgotten, and while I cannot change the past, I do try to learn from them for the future. So much missed, so many things we wish we could do over. For some, the biggest fear is missing something, forgetting to show up completely or overlooking the big picture. We ought to fear this because, as a society, many are missing out and, at some point in time, this miss will lead to a fairly important consequence. The one mistake I fear the most for those around me is dreading they may miss the opportunity to fully appreciate the promise the Father made to us all through His Son. Life is full of distractions and indulgences, and many have forgotten the perfection that is covering us all in His loving embrace. His promise is for eternity and is easily achieved by simply proclaiming Christ as Saviour. Clear the scales from your eyes and see what the Lord has set before you. Help others to see that it is never too late. For those who are skeptical, my question is why? Some will say they do not believe in a god so I ask, what do you believe? Some will say they have been burnt by the church to which I say the church is full of people who, at times, do or say the wrong thing but our God knows what He is doing. Some say “we’ll see” and I respond “at least think about it”. Do not wait too long to invite Him into your heart, don’t wait too long to experience His perfect Grace. This Sunday, we will seek comfort in His message for all His children. For those who wish to know more about the fellowship of Christ, we invite you to join us either in person or watch online at 10:30 AM “Clear the scales from your eyes and see what the Lord has set before you. Help others to see that it is never too late.” - Pastor Todd
