This Is Why We Do It

Here's an email I received this week. To put it in context the message we heard on Sunday was about the public life of Jesus. Jesus was focused on his Father's business, reaching people that have not come to faith in Christ and building up the faith of those who have come to Him.

I just wanted to let you both know how much of an impact the message brought to my own life this week. The Christian life is not about the "traditional" church thing, it's what Jesus brought, not only in His message but in the way he lived and brought it to the people. That's always what I've tried to communicate, but couldn't get it into words. It was fantastic!

Brandon you couldn't have said it better yourself. "We are not like a churchy church, and we love the fact that we aren't", and I'm so happy to be a part of what's going on (at CATF). Its about reaching the people, not having a bunch of unnecessary rules like not chewing gum or wearing hats, or dressing a certain way, or pretending to be something for an hour on Sunday morning. It's a lifestyle, and our church teaches that. I just want to say thank you for helping me heal from broken relationships, and Church at the Falls is definitely making an impact in my life.

My friend I brought, I have no idea how it happened but we randomly started hanging out, and she was there for a reason. I can see her coming to Christ, which is fantastic as well. I hope to coach her and teach her, and our church is what she needs.

And Brenda, the story you told, before we sang "I'd Need A Saviour" was INCREDIBLE! It brought a tear to my eyes. That must have been amazing, to see all of these young hurting women coming together in the name of Jesus and learning to heal and grow in faith.
