Baggage has been the most incredible series we’ve done at Palm Valley Church. God has used this in such an incredible way to bring people to Himself, change hearts, and release people from their hurts, habits, and hang-ups in life. Our attendance increased by 20% during this series, and 53 people invited Jesus into their hearts. I love that each one is being followed-up with by one of our Fresh Start team, and that we will do everything we can to help them grow in their new faith.
The highlight of Baggage had to be last weekend, when people came streaming forward to place their baggage from life on the cross, and release it to Jesus. It was awesome just to see the relief and release on people’s faces as they caught a glimpse of the freedom Jesus purchased for us on the cross. This weekend we will be giving everyone a card with a picture of the baggage on the cross on the front, and my main points from last week’s message on the back. We hope this will be a visible reminder for the rest of your life that this baggage is no longer yours.
