You made it to the After Party🎉

Thanks for coming from the Comedy Night flyer! Let’s get to talking about what you were created for.  

God is the source of all life. He created the universe and everything you can and cannot see. When He first created humans, they were perfect! No sickness! No arguments or wars! They had peace, were eating good and had the absolute best climate! You may be asking, well if that is how the world was created… What happened? Because this right here, right now…is trash. I mean, you’re right... But let me explain how we went from a complete paradise to where we are today. 

Okay, but why did God create us?  Simple answer: To have a relationship with Him. Because He loves us, He created a good world for us. You see the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, knew God face to face.  He gave them freedom, and they had one rule from God. That was to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But they failed… horribly. When they broke this rule, they broke up humanity’s relationship with God!  This was sin and put all of creation into chaos. God tells us in the Bible that the cost for sin is death – forever separation from Him (hell). As the children to Adam and Eve, we follow right behind them. Just like you have your mother’s eyes and your father’s smile…you have their self-determination to do what you wanna do.    

You may ask, if I am just going to hell, why not just live how I wanna live? Why not do what makes me happy? Cool… you can continue to live that way.  A lot of people don’t take God, sin and hell seriously and act as if they don't exist.  Despite humanity's stubbornness, God is kind, patient and loving. He has made a way for all of humanity to return to having a relationship with Him and forgives sin. There are not a million ways though, but only one way. 

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6) 

The wages that sin pays are death, but God’s gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

You may have heard that Jesus died on the cross for your sins. However, maybe you didn’t understand why it would even matter or why Jesus was special. Jesus never sinned, not once. He was “Immanuel” or God with us.  He was God’s Son and as a result was perfect.   Before Jesus came, God told his people to make sacrifices to Him. This meant killing an innocent animal and using that blood to pay the cost for sin.... temporarily. 

Jesus Christ died on the cross as the ultimate and final payment for our sins. He took the death that you and I deserve on the cross because He loves us. Jesus not only died on the cross for our sin, but to show that He beat death on the cross, He rose on the third day. Trusting in the truth of Jesus’s death and forgiveness of your sin is the only way to have a relationship with God.  The beauty is that it doesn't stop with forgiving our sin. One day we will be able to go to a new paradise and experience a good life forever in heaven with God. 

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever doesn’t believe in the Son won’t see life, but the angry judgment of God remains on them.” (John 3:36)

Do you know that you need God? This world is wild and is getting worse day by day. When you have a relationship with God, He helps you make it through the craziness of life now and gives you peace forever. If you want a relationship with God, please take this time to pray. Praying is talking to God. You can say to God that you know you have broken His rules and are a sinner. That you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sin, that He paid the price and you are forgiven. Trusting that by His death and rising from the dead, you can now have a relationship with God and will have life forever.  

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.(1 John 1:9)

I hope that you have given your life to Jesus and are now starting a relationship with God. 🥳  

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)
