HempFest: Repent and Trust Jesus Christ

Oh, by the way, I was very scared to open up.   There were so many of them, and only one of me.  The cops were between me and them, but it was still scary.

The HempFesters were overall a pretty good group of people to preach to.  They were interactive.   They were negative.   But I strove to keep a positive tone, and preach the Gospel.   I didn't shy away from sin one bit.   I publicly read a bunch of scripture.   Spoke one-to-one to very many people.  And generally, received a pretty good response.  By 'good', I mean they weren't agreeing with what I was saying, and they told me so; in so many ways.   I preached to the folks as they were lining up to go in.   It was a prime time and location for the Gospel of Jesus to be presented.

God is very good though.   He has prepared me for this time.

Even with a PA system, I still lost my voice after about 3 hours of preaching.

There was a group of open air evangelists from Los Angeles there.

Videos to come...

Here is what I had planned to say, by way of an intro:
When I found out that the Seattle Police Department was going to be handing out bags of chips today, I was reminded about this week.   I bought a bag of chips in the breakroom at work.   I started eating, and they were stale.   Although they hadn't reached the expiration date printed on the bag, they were stale.   And I threw them away.

Think about this; we all have an expiration date.   Death is a sure thing.   Ten out of ten die.  Death is the only 100% statistic.   Some avoid taxes, but no one avoids death.    The Bible says, "Life is but a vapor... here today and gone tomorrow".   We don't know how or when, but we will die.   We don't plan on it.   No one puts it on their daily planner, but someday, death will come for each and every one of us.

You were not created to die though. Death is not your friend, and it was never your intended destiny.   The funeral is not the finish and the grave is not the goal.

You have two choices; two paths you could take.  If this is all there is and there is nothing after life, then go for the gusto.  Live life to the fullest. Party hard. 

Or, you could seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

If this is all you get, then "eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die."   But this isn't all there is.   It is appointed unto man once to die and then comes the judgement.   God had appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness....

The Law goes here...

The Gospel goes here...

The New Birth goes here...

God bless...
