We begin a new series today, one I am looking forward to for I love reading the gospels about Jesus and how He affected the people that came in contact with Him. Over the next 9 weeks we will see his influence in people's lives particularly in the book of Luke and then using the other gospels who also recorded the same events to shed light on the story. We’ll look at 9 people, or sometimes groups of people, whose lives came in touch with Jesus and they had an 180° moment in their life.
We come to what has been a powerful and, I pray yet again, life-changing and church changing kind of message series – that we put into practice as we move forward. The question is will we truly be committed to the Church and stay the course?
This morning we come to the Third part of the journey on discovering what it means to be a Church Member – my commitment to be A Healthy Church Member. If we want to have a healthy church, which is vital, then it must full of healthy Church Members. A healthy church grows, it is able to reach into its community and make a huge and lasting impact, it is able to send people out into the world to make a difference...
This morning we move to the 2nd commitment of our Series – I Am a Church Member –: A Unifying Church Member. Unity is critical to the health of a church and vital for us to be the kind of biblical church members He is calling us to be. So let’s look at how we can be a Unifying Church Member…
Christianity as a whole is on a decline in our nation, and as a result so is Church Membership, even in our own Southern Baptist Convention. There are lots of reasons for that, but I believe with others that one of those is the gross misunderstanding of what it means to be a Church Member...
Last week we talked about the Incredible Value of Life that begins at conception and goes all the way to the grave. Today we talk about the last one – though there are certainly more things God values, I think these would be at the top. The Lord values the Gospel – the good news, the Message of the Cross and Resurrection of His Son and the sending agent, the telling mouthpiece – the Church, His bride – the most important...
This series is designed to look at what God Values the most and though He values everything for sure, we wanted to see what would be the top 3-4 things...
Mitch Williams speaks about how we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
The people of Israel had been unfaithful but God had been faithful. They returned to the Lord with all their hearts, they repented and turned away from their false gods and directed their hearts to him and pledged to serve Him alone. The Lord answered their prayers and the prayer of Samuel and delivered them from the hand of their enemy, the Philistines. Notice they were still afraid – that is normal and human, but.....
We have come to the end of our journey of this 26 word parade of Hope, perhaps the most important Scripture if not at least the most precise to put the gospel in a nutshell. The 26 greatest words that changed my life and has changed many of yours.
