interesting epiphany.

this past weekend, my dad shared a message using the text Luke 8:26-35, when Jesus heals the demoniac Legion.
As Jesus is talking to the demoniac,
The demons implored Him to permit them them to enter the swine. And He gave them permission. (Luke 8:32)
Then it hit me–if Jesus was willing to grant the reasonable request of a legion of demons, how much more willing would he be willing to grant the request of people like me?

1st Timer Gifts - Welcome CD that talks more in depth about NLC. We try to answer some questions that someone who has come for the first time might have. We also give them a pack of gum with our logo on it.
2nd Timer Gifts - NLC Coffee Mug and biscotti. Coffee is in right now, so that’s a cool gift.
3rd Timer Gifts - $10 Starbucks Card. We do encourage them, not from the “pulpit,” but at our Welcome Center, to take someone with them for coffee and tell them why they’ve come to NLC 3 times with the card. It’s a good way to spread the word. We actually gave everyone in our church $10 Starbucks Cards about 2 months ago and told them to invite someone to coffee who didn’t attend church anywhere, and tell them why they love NLC. It was a hit with our people and a great way to get some positive conversations about NLC started all throughout our community!
