In the midst of our emotionally, fragile culture, may this body become an increasingly steadfast congregation. 3 keys to dealing with rejection & developing endurance this season...like Jesus.
God is galling our church to become a wise blend of missional breadth and spiritual depth in Christ.

God's master plan of redemption, accomplished through Christ, is the most essential truth in the world.

Following Jesus is a multisensory enterprise that demands our eyes, our ears, and even our mouths.
Liberalism - the desire for the Christian faith to be free from the Word of God in mood, methods, morals, or message. Hear the story of American Theological Liberalism. Discover (and repent from) liberalism in your own heart. Learn how to better engage your theologically liberal family, friends, co-workers, classmates, and neighbors.
Though Jesus is our substitute, we must never forget that he's also our example - especially with regard to evangelism.
Only one man is worth to be glorified and what you do with him determines your eternal destiny.
One of the most pervasive themes in the Bible is the jaw-dropping truth of the dwelling place of God.
Our mission to be and make disciples of Jesus Christ began when 5 disciples were made in less than 48 hours.
A saving knowledge of God in Christ cannot be initiated by us, it can only be imparted by him.
John says the good news of Jesus Christ is to be believed and that means that by God's grace it is to be lived.
Of all the motives for personal evangelism, nothing is more foundational than the increase of your joy.
Evangelism is not an imposition of our religion on the world, it is an invitation to reality for the world.
Our church's mission is clarified and intensified as we consider the 'mission' of Israel in the Old Testament.
Global missions is the unfinished task of the church - so go or send but do not disobey.
The need is not so much to get to the people as to come from Christ...then one automatically gets to the people. -Karl Barth
No one will know that we are Christ's disciples if we do not have love for one another.
God so loves his Son he sent into the world that whoever does not love him will not live but perish eternally.
If you have been saved by the grace of Christ, your indwelling sin does not exempt you from striving to enter into the rest of God.
The rest of God will not be ours until we are ruthless in exposing and eliminating secret sin.
As you strive to enter God's rest you must understand that your sin is capable of destroying you and causing suffering to those close to you.
The rest of God is offered freely to all his enemies, but those who do not become his allies will be shown no mercy.
Following Jesus will cost you your life in this world, but you will receive a superior life that is eternal in exchange.

As you enter into the rest of God - consider that Christ is not first for you or against you...he is over you.
If you have not been saved by the grace of Christ, you will not and cannot enter into the rest of God.
Celebrating and demonstrating the rest of God in your world is mere preparation for communicating the rest of God with your words.
The rest of God is not for you alone but for every last person who has yet to enter into its reality.
The rest of God is extremely unlikely to be entered into apart from the gift of godly leadership.
Your mission - if you have been saved by the grace of Christ - is to strive to enter into the rest of God.
