For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." - Galatians 5:14

Have you ever been reading a really hard to understand book for school? I remember a few times when I just didn’t understand what I was reading. When I was stumped, I’d get online and read a summary of the chapter I was supposed to be reading. Finding another person’s summary of the chapter helped me. It allowed me to know and understand what I was reading.
This verse is a summary of the law. And just like the summaries I found online, this summary makes it so simple and easy to understand. By simply loving others like we would ourselves, we are fulfilling the law.
We wouldn’t steal from ourselves. We wouldn’t murder ourselves. We are always looking out for our own best interests. However, this verse shows us that we should be treating other people like we treat ourselves. Loving people like this is hard work, but it’s worth it!

Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'

I don’t know if you’re like me, but I love food. I don’t think you could pay me to not eat for a day. Most of us put a high priority on eating. We make sure that we eat several times a day, hit those snacks between classes, and maybe even eat some junk food before bed. Eating is a big part of our lives. If we didn’t eat, we’d be grumpy, lack energy, and just be no fun to be around.
In today’s Bible verse, it compares natural food, or bread to spiritual food. It tells us that we shouldn’t just live to eat, but rather we should live to spend time with God. It shows us that our time with God should be a priority in our lives. Just like we wouldn’t go too long without eating, we shouldn’t go long without spending time with God.
Challenge yourself today to take more time to spend with God. Make spending time with God a priority in your life today!
This Wednesday night we will be talking about priorities! What do you tend to cling on to that crowds God out of your life?  See you Wednesday.

John 3:16- For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

This verse is one of the most popular verses in the Bible. In fact, it’s used so much, it’s almost easy to read it and take it for granted. We are so used to the fact that God loves us that we don’t really let it sink in.
God loves us. He has always loved us. He pursued us when we didn’t deserve it. He loved us when we were unlovable. He did this so that we could enjoy eternal life with Him. We could talk to Him, walk with Him, and enjoy eternity with Him.
Choose today to let this verse sink in. Don’t just read it quick and forget about it, but instead choose to think about the fact that God went out of His way to pursue a relationship with you.
This Wednesday night we will be having small groups again. Our message is entitled “Jelly Bean Bigot”.  I know it’s a crazy title but there’s a real meaning behind this lesson.  I’m praying for a great service this Wednesday.  See you then!

The Main Event will be having a yard sale Saturday, May 6th in the gym. Since spring cleaning is around the corner I’m asking our church family to donate items you no longer wish to keep to the yard sale.  As it stands now were asking for “no clothes” to be donated.  Items that we’re looking for are old bicycles, TV’s, pictures, old lawn mowers, gaming consoles, DVD players, radios, knick knacks from around the house, DVD movies, CD’s, etc…In the next couple of weeks I will have a place to store these items at the church prior to the yard sale.  If you have anything you wish to donate, please give me a call and I will arrange a time with you to have them dropped off at the church.  All funds raised during this yard sale will go to helping our youth get to SOAR this summer.​

John 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me."

People make the mistake of thinking there are many ways to get to God. They say that all religions will point you to the same God. They say it doesn’t really matter how you get there, just do what way seems like the right way for you. However, this is not what Jesus says. In this verse, Jesus says that He is the only way to God. He says that He is the truth and the life and that no one can come to the Father (God) except through Him.
If Jesus is the only way to God the Father, then anyone who is trying to come to God without going through Him are missing it. It may seem harsh but it is the truth. No one can reach God without Jesus. In reality, we all are in a hopeless situation without Jesus. We are unclean and sin without even knowing it. We desperately need Jesus. God loved the world so much that He sent Jesus to be the answer for all mankind.
So how do we get to God then if Jesus is the only way? We must humble ourselves and stop relying on other ways to get to God. We cannot get to God through trying to be good enough, trying to do religious acts or even trying not to sin. We have to stop all of that and simply believe completely on Jesus. Even if you’re already born again, the same way you receive Jesus is the same way you continue on this journey with God… completely through Jesus.

 This past Wednesday night, the students from Shiloh Methodist came to Main Event and worshipped with us.  We had a really great time and it was great to see our student’s fellowshipping with their friends from another church.  Our message was “Christ in Us”.  We reminded our students that we are dead in our sins without Jesus, unable to tell right from wrong, unable to love as God intends.  We also had a fun activity, “panty hose bowling”!  I’m sure you heard us upstairs while we played this game and I apologize if we got loud…we were having too much fun.
 ​

I want to encourage our church family to continue to pray for our youth as we gear up for SOAR this summer.  We have a big group that is signed up to go.  We need your prayers and support as we push forward with our plans this summer!!!
