When I Was Thirsty…

bottled-waterTonight our church is launching an initiative that we are calling “Choose Your Own Adventure” that we are basing on the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:25-40 in which we try to simply do what Jesus said we should do.  Here’s the passage,

35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’

I don’t know about you, but at the end of the day, I just want to do what Jesus said to do.  So, tonight me and some friends are simply going to go out and give water to our thirsty homeless neighbors here in downtown Atlanta.  We’re not really going to be talking about God or the church or passing out flyers.  We’re just going to pass out water and hopefully spark some good conversations.  You absolutely do not have to be a part of our church to be a part of this and we’d love to see you tonight.

Wanna come hang with us?  Meet us on the top level of the Courageous Church parking deck @ 7:30pm.  The address is: 1330 West Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30313.  Dress lightly and casually.  Bring some bottled water if you can and feel free to bring friends (or come alone).

After everyone arrives, we are going to make a quick drive to Woodruff Park by the 5 Points Marta station and do our thing for about an hour.  It’s simple, but it’s fulfilling and honors the words of Jesus.
