Have you been excluded or marginalized by a church?

Forget about them. Jesus wants you.

Do you think you’re too bad for God to love? Do you think you need to clean up your act before you can get right with God?

Forget about that. Jesus wants you.

Smashed Rose

He wants you just as you are. He wants you to come to him in honesty and brokenness and tell him you know what you are, a sinner. You’re a mess; God already knows that, and He’s forgiven worse than you. The Bible says He will not break a bruised reed or quench a barely glowing wick. (Matthew 12:20 ESV) Come to him in humility and apologize for the mess you’ve made. Jesus did not condemn a woman caught in adultery; He forgave her and told her to go and sin no more. He promises to do the same for you when you repent and believe.

Christians may look down on you or ignore you, Christ doesn’t.

Churches might make you feel unwelcome, Jesus won’t.

Smashed Rose

I hope you won’t judge Christ by a church that happens to use His name, or by those who call themselves Christians. The church can’t save your soul and Christians can’t forgive your sins. Jesus can do all that and heal you of whatever sins and griefs you bear.

Jesus wants you. Please, give Him a chance.

On Thanksgiving morning, he had a seizure and collapsed at his home. He woke up in the hospital and it was later found that he had a one inch by two inch mass in his frontal lobe on the right side of his brain. On Friday, December 4, he had surgery to remove the mass and is currently recovering in the hospital. Biopsy results will be completed this coming week.

Matt is a faithful witness for Jesus Christ and he recorded a video message just before his surgery last week. It was played at his church on Sunday the 6th. It is a remarkable witness to the power of Christ. Please take a look.
