We Are Redeemed: Yes, You.

Melissa Holland • January 31, 2015

If we were brave enough, we would all remain standing if someone called the sinners to the stage. Thank goodness it doesn’t work that way; it should never have to work that way. There’s no display for the ones who have sinned. Or maybe there is, only we call it every single person we look at, including the mirror.

But thank goodness it doesn’t work like that. Do you know why? It’s summed up in two simple words.

REDEEMING LOVE.

God is ready to cover you in His redeeming love; all you have to do is show up (and maybe bring a friend or two) and receive it. Awaken is hosting our first ever women’s conference, and you, yes you, are invited.

Here’s the skinny:

 

Redeeming Love: The Conference

May 1 & 2, 2015

Francine Rivers and other dynamic women in our community will come together for two days to empower women in leadership and women on mission! You are promised the sweetest redemption from a God who has plans to fill you up, so you can pour out to those you serve. Who doesn’t love that? But it’s hard to let in God’s true redeeming love,

It’s the only way. Because you can’t pour out what you have not received. So, decide to be filled, decide to receive, and decide to gather your community of leaders and world changers to attend Redeeming Love: The Conference.

More information coming soon. In the meantime, save the date.

“I lay down my shame
and look to your face

Pulling me close
and pouring out grace.

Lord, I receive,

my hands held high.

I welcome you here, My God, Adonai.”

-S.
