The energetic New Orleans style jazz arrangement of this wonderful old gospel
hymn is famous world-wide.  The whole chorus goes like this:






WILL YOU BE THERE?
Are you sure?

If you "want to be in that number" and you're not absolutely sure that you will be
you can take the simple steps below to a Brand New Life.  
Now is the time to step up to the plate and take these






1.  The Why
A.  Good news
John 10:10 —The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they
might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
B.  Sin  
To sin simply means “to miss the mark”; when an arrow is shot and falls short of the mark;
we’ve ALL sinned.  
Rom. 3:23 — For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
C.  The Cross  
Rom. 5:8 — But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.  

2.  The How
A.  Power
Rom. 10:9— That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart  
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
B.  Faith
Eph. 2:8-9—For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not  
of works, lest any man should boast.

3.  The Prayer
Prayer  
Lord God, I confess that I am a sinner and I ask You to forgive my sins.  I believe Christ died on the cross  
for my sins and was raised from the dead.  Thank you Father, for saving me.  In Jesus name, Amen.

Let's take a look at just a
couple of the remarkable
things Jesus said about
Himself.

"
I am the Bread of Life; he
that comes to me shall
never hunger; and He that
believes on Me shall never
thirst."

"
I am the Door; by me if any
man enter in, he shall be
saved and shall go in and
out, and find pasture."

"
I am the Good shepherd,
and know my sheep, and
am known of mine."

Jesus makes this bold,
controversial statement
about Himself,
"
I am the Way, the Truth
and
the Life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but
by Me."

[These statements are found in
the Gospel of John in the 6th,
7th, & 14th chapter.  Don't take
my word for it.  Carefully check
them out for yourself.]
If you prayed the prayer above,
Congratulations & Welcome to
the Family of God!  You have just
begun an awesome journey!

Questions" in the subject line.
You've heard people talk about Jesus and
about being "born again" but have you
heard
what Jesus, himself, said?  Check
out this encounter between Jesus and a
Jewish leader name Nicodemus.
After dark one evening,
a Jewish religious leader
named Nicodemus, a
Pharisee, came to speak with Jesus.

"Teacher," he said, "we all know that
God has sent you to teach us. Your
miraculous signs are proof enough that God is with you."

Jesus replied, "I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the
Kingdom of God."

"What do you mean?" exclaimed Nicodemus. "How can an old man go back into his
mother's womb and be born again?"

Jesus replied, "The truth is, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born
of water and the Spirit.* Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit
gives new life from heaven. So don't be surprised at my statement that you* must be
born again.  Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where
it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit."

"What do you mean?" Nicodemus asked.

Jesus replied, "You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don't understand
these things?  I assure you, I am telling you what we know and have seen, and yet you
won't believe us.  But if you don't even believe me when I tell you about things that
happen here on earth, how can you possibly believe if I tell you what is going on in
heaven?  For only I, the Son of Man,* have come to earth and will return to heaven
again.   And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so I, the
Son of Man, must be lifted up on a pole,*  so that everyone who believes in me will
have eternal life.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes
in him will not perish but have eternal life.  God did not send his Son into the world to
condemn it, but to save it.

"There is no judgment awaiting those who trust him. But those who do not trust him
have already been judged for not believing in the only Son of God. Their judgment is
based on this fact: The light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the
darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. They hate the
light because
they want to sin in the darkness. They stay away from the light for
fear their sins will be
exposed and they will be punished.  But those who do what is right come to the light
gladly, so everyone can see that they are doing what God wants."    
(John 3:1-21, New Living Translation of the Holy Bible)

What d
o you choose?  Light or darkness?

The choice is yours and yours alone.
