Today, we had a lot of new faces at Haven of Hope!  It was great to have an opportunity to see people experience the presence of God!  We had 9 new guests and we were thankful for everyone one of them!  This week, Pastor Robidas brought us a message about the prodigal son!

• The songs that we did for worship service were “Salvation is here”, “From the inside out”, “Healer”, “When I think about the Lord”, and more…
• Pastor Robidas reminded us that there is nothing that we could do (good or bad) to change the level of love that the Father has for us….nothing!
• Even though the prodigal son left the father and, through his actions, told him that he wished he were dead, the father never replaced his place at the table…..Thank You Jesus!
• No matter how far you are from God or what you’ve done to grieve His heart, you still have your place at the table!!
• We have a warped view of coming back to God.  We look at stuff in our life and we say “I need to stop doing this, this, and this before I can come back to God”.
• What God wants is for us to come back to Him AS WE ARE and then He will give us the power to overcome the stuff in our life that we want victory over.
• Come back to God!  No “if’s”, “and’s”, or “but’s”….He wants you back!
• I love Haven of Hope and what God is doing here!
