Jesus WILL be there this Sunday if you gather in His name. In Matthew 18:20, Jesus said, “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them” (NIV). He deserves your best prayerful preparation. He wants you to seek Him. He wants to help you. Jesus wants you to spend time with Him. He wants you to invite others to come to Him!
This Sunday, will you give Him your best? Pray. Expect His presence. Give Him your best! Don’t be mediocre. Be revolutionary!
