2012 Super Bowl Halftime Devotion


Dear BFWC Family & Friends,Tonight, so many of you will be planning gatherings with your friends and families for the Super Bowl.  We have included a video link to be shared during half-time.  I hope you’ll take advantage of this tool and share the Gospel message at your special gathering.
This video is also posted on our website (www.bfwc.net) and will also be posted on various forms of social media.  Feel free to share the link/video with anyone who is hosting a gathering in their home/church/etc.

You are the church.  Wherever you are…you carry Jesus in you.  I remember reading about how Jesus was accused of gathering with sinners in Matthew 9:9-13…the “sinners” came and found Jesus at Matthew’s house and decided to eat with Jesus and His disciples.  Of course, the “religious” (Pharisees) saw it and asked Jesus’ disciples why He ate with sinners?  Jesus spoke up and said, “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy , and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” 

Tonight, share this video ON PURPOSE.  Use it as a tool to interject the Gospel in an environment where some of your unsaved family & friends are planning to be.  Eventually, you may get them to join you at an Encounter service…in the meantime…YOU be the church to them and take full advantage of this resource.

Maturing in Christ; Reaching in Love,
