COLONY — The Colony Christian Church will offer evening services, on a trial run, starting at 7 p.m. Sunday.

In addition, men’s Bible study continues at 7 a.m. Tuesday, with a meal and prayer time at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, with youth group to follow at 7 o’clock. Kids are welcome to arrive by 4:30.

Small groups also Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7.

This week’s Sunday morning service featured Communion meditation from Larry Wittmer, who said some people view Jesus as a roadside attraction to determine if He’s the world’s greatest teacher or its biggest fraud. 

But Jesus changed their lives, Wittmer continued. The blind could see; soldiers’ hearts were changed by watching the crucifixion. Jesus is not a roadside attraction, but the destination, Wittmer concluded.

Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon on “Sharing My Faith” for week 20 of the Believe series. Many times, sharing our faith includes how we live and what we say, along with verbally sharing with others. We should share our faith because God commands us to go out into the nations to make disciples, and we should share that faith with passion. Paul in Acts 20 says that his life is worth nothing unless he uses it to finish the work that God sent him to do. We must remember that other’s eternal lives depend on us sharing our faith.
