Friday Service: Today will not be too complicated, but it is going to require some effort. We have been considering the “dividing wall of hostility” and the curtain this week, and we learned that as a result of Christ’s death on the cross, there is no longer a barrier between us and the world around us, and the world now has access to God. This is wonderful news, and it is news that should be shared and celebrated. Think through the people in your life who you’ve been praying for to come to know Jesus. Have you pursued them? Have you cultivated any sort of relationship with them? Reach out to them today and begin cultivating those relationships. Call them and set up a play date with your kids and theirs. Reach out to them to grab a drink tonight or this weekend. Invite them over to watch the game. Maybe it’s an old friend, a coworker, a neighbor, whoever. Today is the day to begin building that relationship with them, so that you can share with them your life and the Gospel of Jesus that saved you from your sins.
