Sunday April 20, 10:30 AM Covington High School Auditorium Message and music in auditorium nursery preschool Children's Church (grades 1-6) Please note no Sunday School or Evening Service This was the scene last Easter, God has given us a great opportunity to reach out to our community.  Many unchurched folks are more comfortable visiting a neutral site.  If you have been praying about inviting someone to Faith this is the perfect opportunity.  Pick up an invite card at the Welcome Center and ask them to come with you Easter Sunday.   god of me This Sunday I finish our "gods at war" sermon series.  This week in our final message we will be looking at a message that ties the whole series together.  The "god of me" sermon helps us to understand all of the gods we have discussed in this series in reality point to a central truth: we all want to be god.  When Adam and Eve were tempted with the lie that could become like God in disobeying God.  The truth is we all want to be in control, we don't want others telling us what to do, even God.  We set up other gods in our lives, gods that we create and control.  What is the main purpose of your life? Is it to find happiness at any cost?  Then you are worshiping the god of me Is it to glorify God? Then you are worshiping the true and living God This Sunday night (6 PM) Jeff will be speaking, his message; Why are you standing around? 1 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like the landowner who went out early one morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay the normal daily wage and sent them out to work. 3 “At nine o’clock in the morning he was passing through the marketplace and saw some people standing around doing nothing. 4 So he hired them, telling them he would pay them whatever was right at the end of the day. 5 So they went to work in the vineyard. At noon and again at three o’clock he did the same thing. 6 “At five o’clock that afternoon he was in town again and saw some more people standing around. He asked them, ‘Why haven’t you been working today?’ 7 “They replied, ‘Because no one hired us.’ “The landowner told them, ‘Then go out and join the others in my vineyard.’                                                                                                Matthew 20:1-7 (NLT)
