Many people think potential comes from good genes or enormous talent. But as Christians we know that God is the master builder of our lives. Moses was a person in the Bible who doubted his potential even though he was called by God to be a great leader. Instead of stepping into his potential, he made excuses for why he couldn’t lead, only to later look back on his life and realize that God had done incredible things in and through him.
“By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter 25and chose to suffer with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasure of sin. 26For he considered reproach for the sake of Christ to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, since he was looking ahead to the reward.”
—Hebrews 11:24-26
Come and discover the life lessons of spiritual leadership as God develops Moses to his full potential. By looking at Moses’ life, we can learn how to unmask the excuses in our lives that keep us from reaching our potential.
In this collection, we will look at the excuses that almost prevented Moses from accomplishing all that God asked of Him.

Worship is our inner connection with Jesus. It is giving Him the honor and value He deserves. Worship is not a ritual or a series of actions. Think of it as the sacred space where we meet with Jesus, rest in His presence, and accept His open invitation to partner with Him in His transformative Kingdom work.
“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful. By it, we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, 29for our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:28-29
When we center our focus on Jesus, we are declaring His supreme position over us and expressing gratitude for what He has done for us. Jesus has assured us that He will dwell in our lives and circumstances, and His presence will bring limitless possibilities that cause us to realize, He is worth it all!

It’s Super Vision Weekend! A time when we pause and celebrate what God has done during the past year and focus on what’s ahead. As we look to activate our church in 2024, it will be important to maintain a proper focus as we ask God to use our church to make a more significant Kingdom impact.
“I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? 2My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” —Psalms 121:1-2

OUR VISION: To see New England transformed by making disciples and planting churches to multiply the kingdom of God.
OUR MISSION: To lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, resulting in MORE disciples and churches.

God can help you align your focus so that you can take your spiritual growth to the next level.
“The Lord helps all who fall; he raises up all who are oppressed.” —Psalm 145:14
This collection will help you reset your priorities for the new year.

Passion Week is known as the week when Jesus finished His earthly ministry and accomplished what was written about Him thousands of years before He came to earth. He was focused on rescuing a broken world and making mankind whole again, which we know as salvation. Jesus came to fix our sin problem. Sin can be described as selfishness towards others and disobedience towards God.
“But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” —Romans 5:8
The events that transpired during Passion Week changed the world. As we reflect on what Jesus endured during this week and as we look toward Easter, let’s celebrate what was accomplished for us and the new life we can enjoy in Him.
Christians should be resilient. Resilient Christians understand their identity in Christ. By being aware of who they are in Christ, they can persevere through difficult situations and adapt to tackle problems and pushback. Often resilient followers of Christ emerge from tough times and opposition stronger and better able to handle even more difficult situations.
Timothy was pastoring in a fast-pace, emerging trade city called Ephesus. He was a young pastor, leading in the first church as a minority within a majority voice of oppression and opposition. Paul encourages Timothy to be resilient through every situation so that He can stand for Christ within the culture. Paul also reminds Timothy to maintain faith and hope in Jesus’ resurrection and to raise up faithful leaders who will teach and share the good news of salvation through Jesus.
“Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage with great patience and teaching.” —2 Timothy 4:2

It’s Super Vision Weekend 2022, the time when we pause and look towards the future and the direction that God is leading us for greater impact. We may be terrible at predicting the future, but we can pray and strive to create it. For the past seven years, we have been focused on repairing, rebuilding, and preparing for what God has NEXT for our church. The turnaround we have experienced is only by the hand of God. We have learned flexibility, dependency, and perseverance. Now it’s time to focus on what our impact will be over the next few years.
As we move into this new year there will be new opportunities. It is important that everyone at City United Church is involved and takes personal responsibility to see our God-given vision and mission accomplished. Our beliefs and behavior must be aligned.
A new year brings with it excitement and a desire for newness in our lives - a desire to be better, to do more, and to focus on what matters most. Life is short; therefore, life should be lived wisely with the end in mind. NEXT is about helping you make the most of your life this year.
“… we end our years like a sigh. 10Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years. Even the best of them are struggle and sorrow; indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away.12Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.” —Psalms 90:9b-10;12

Today things seem so out of alignment. Maybe Christmas doesn’t look like what you thought it would. Maybe your plans don’t seem to be coming together. But one thing is true. No matter what happens around us, our hearts and lives can stay aligned with Jesus and His purpose for our lives.
We can rejoice this Christmas season! Everything about Christmas should remind us to reflect on the attributes of Jesus Christ and the fact that He came to rescue us from sin. As we draw closer to Him this season, Christmas will come together.
In this collection of talks, we will work to align with Jesus because Christmas is all about Him.

Mick Stockwell has served with the Southern Baptist Mission agency for 27 years in Eastern Europe. He and his family were in Ukraine for 15 years and have been in Prague for over 12 years.
He represents all of Europe on a global team that develops partnerships with US churches and also helps international partners mobilize, equip and send cross-cultural missionaries.
God is doing amazing things through partners from the former Soviet Union to send missionaries to some of the most difficult places in the world-especially to those places where Americans are not welcome.
Romans is considered the “Constitution” of the Christian faith. It sets the doctrine and duty of every Christian. Just like the Constitution of the United States provides its citizens with the framework to boldly exercise their rights, the book of Romans provides the follower of Jesus Christ with the spiritual boldness to live out their faith in Christ.
The purpose of the book of Romans is to reveal the role of faith in the life of a Christian. It explores saving faith, the faith by which a sinner is saved through the Gospel of Christ, and sanctifying faith, the faith that helps us live a new life in Christ.

Life can be confusing. Almost everyone struggles with their identity and eventually joins the quest for finding purpose in life. We spend our days trying to be in charge, achieve, and belong. These struggles are all elements of the journey to discovering what life is all about. Incorrect assumptions of the purpose of life can lead to bad decisions and empty and distracted living, but finding the true purpose of life leads to focused and fulfilled living.
“Be on your guard, so that your minds are not dulled from carousing, drunkenness, and worries of life, or that day will come on you unexpectedly 35like a trap. For it will come on all who live on the face of the whole earth.” —Luke 21:34-35

Every follower of Jesus Christ has been commanded to be On Mission. This year’s theme, On Mission: Until the Whole World Hears, is a call to action. It’s a call to pray, hear, learn about, and engage in what God is doing all around the globe through City United Church.
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14
While a global pandemic may have changed the methods in which we do missions, the command has and will never change. We must continue to be On Mission and be obedient to the Lord’s command and fund local and global missions through the local church so that we can continue to reach all ethical groups for the Gospel, Until the Whole World Hears.
An example of what we will be doing this month is found in the first Church in the book of Acts.
“And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. And there they abode long time with the disciples.” Acts 14:23, 27-28
During the month of August, we will be focusing on being On Mission in the following areas:
August 8 What is Missions? (Pastor Gary) August 15 On Mission – Manna Worldwide (Missionary Craig Alsap) August 22 On Mission in Africa – (Missionary Cherith Hunt) August 29 On Mission – The Timothy Initiative (Missionary David Nelms)

God uses all types of people in marvelous ways. Not all the people God used were educated, sophisticated, wealthy, or powerful. But every single one of them was available for God to use. I like to call them the “League of the Least Likely.”
In this collection, we will look at a few ordinary people from the Bible who God decided to use in an extraordinary way. God took their lives and caused others to MARVEL at the results. Their lives changed the lives of others and serve as an example for us today.

God uses all types of people in marvelous ways. Not all the people God used were educated, sophisticated, wealthy, or powerful. But every single one of them was available for God to use. I like to call them the “League of the Least Likely.”

Food, self-image, money, lust, substances, social media, procrastination, worry, laziness, and the list goes on! We all struggle with temptation that is competing to pull us away from worshipping God. However, there is a way to resist temptation. It is not a sin to be tempted, but how you handle temptation sets the course for your true worship of God. God wants you to resist and win over temptation. He has provided ways for you to escape it.
“Blessed is the one who endures trials, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 13No one undergoing a trial should say, ‘I am being tempted by God,’ since God is not tempted by evil, and he himself doesn’t tempt anyone. 14But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desire. 15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death. 16Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.” —James 1:12-16
“No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to bear it.” —1 Corinthians 10:13

If culture were to put you on trial for being a Christian, would you be found guilty or not guilty? As Christians, followers of Jesus Christ, we are known for what we believe, and we are marked by our behaviors. The question we must continually ask ourselves is do our beliefs and our behaviors match up.

Let’s Go! is a phrase we use for someone who is not moving. It is a statement that causes us to get up, get out and get going. Haggai, a prophet in the Old Testament, had to mobilize the people of Israel to get their priorities right. The people of Israel had stopped focusing on God’s agenda, and instead they began to focus on their own agenda.
Haggai teaches us about having the right priorities. He served as a megaphone for God to help Israel recharge and realign themselves to God’s priorities. God has a way of awakening lethargic, discouraged, disinterested followers to motivate them to follow Him again. God used Haggai to wake up His people from a spiritual slumber. Haggai helped the people keep their eyes and focus on the bigger picture.
In this little book, we have four messages from Haggai, and each message has a specific strategy to motivate God’s people. In each message, Haggai points out a particular sin that keeps us from accomplishing and finishing God’s work.
In this collection of talks we will focus on 5 strategies that help us stay focused on God’s work and the mission at hand.

Christmas is a tradition and a time of year that helps us focus on Jesus. It is a time when we pause and recognize that over 2,000 years ago, our Savior was born. He came as a baby, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, and three days later rose to life again. As followers of Jesus, we watch and wait for His eventual return. Sadly, our culture has diluted the true meaning of Christmas. However, we know that the keys to Christmas are what gives us hope for the future.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
The story of a coming Savior and King has been passed down since the beginning of time. It has been changing lives from generation to generation. It is still changing lives today.

People all over the globe are talking about “What’s Next”. We are living in the last days, and yet the last day has not come. The Bible says that perilous times are coming, and we need to be prepared. We see these perilous times all over the news and social media.
“But know this: Hard times will come in the last days. 2For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, demeaning, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, 4traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people.” —2 Timothy 3:1-5
Despite these hard times, we can rest in the fact that God is in control and nothing takes Him by surprise. He has called His church to be watchful and to be prepared for His return.

Jesus rose from the dead, so we can Rise Up and live. The book of Colossians shows us Jesus Christ’s divine characteristics and how we can Rise Up in Him. The Creator, the One from whom all things exist, the all-powerful One, the master of time and space is the head of the church. This infinite eternal and all-powerful being is shown in this epistle to be personal. He is shown to be the One who becomes our life!
"..when you were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.” Colossians 2:12

You and I face circumstances that can challenge us. Transitions, tensions, and trials can bring pain and difficulty into our life.

This same power that resurrected Jesus from the dead, is the same power that helps us rise up and live.
Let’s discover how this living power can transform our lives.

Each year on Superbowl Sunday, we do a stand-alone talk that focuses on what God accomplished in the past year and what He has for us next. On a day that many people in the world will stop to focus on a game, we want to stop and fix our focus on God’s game plan for our church.
Most people go through life seeing the world through a “foggy lens” or distracted by peripheral things; however, God desires His children to clearly see His vision for His Kingdom which will never fail and will ultimately outlast us. In 2020, we are looking at the beginning of a "decade of destiny" for our church that will bring about future Kingdom growth for all generations.
The goal of following Jesus is to do what He commanded us to do as we obey His word. Last year we accomplished many of the goals we believe God set before us; but we have much more to do.
“The reflections of the heart belong to mankind, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. 3Commit your activities to the Lord, and your plans will be established. 9A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.” ---Proverbs 16:1, 3, 9 (CSB, Old Testament)
Nehemiah was a great finisher. He was a leader who saw the need and trusted God to finish the vision strong through him.
As we go through life, we tend to forget to dream big dreams. We settle and forget the opportunities that God has placed in front of us. If we are not careful, our faith will fail, and we will shrink our big God into a small corner.

What God did through Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem shows how God can use you to rebuild your life, church and community.

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! But let’s face it, it is one of the most stressful times as well. Many will wait with expectation to exchange tangible gifts from under the Christmas tree, but many will also miss the intangible gift that was given to us on THE TREE (the cross).
God is the exchanging God. He desires to exchange your imperfect feelings for His perfect “gift.” He takes those who have nothing and gives them everything. He takes your negative feelings and exchanges them for something far better. He takes your fears and exchanges them for His peace.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” —James 1:17

God is the exchanging God. He desires to exchange your imperfect feelings for His perfect “gift.” He takes those who have nothing and gives them everything. He takes your negative feelings and exchanges them for something far better. He takes your fears and exchanges them for His peace.

Heaven is for real! It seems nowadays everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to go now. Eternity is an uncertainty for many people, and the fear of death can be overwhelming. “What happens when I die?” is a common question in our culture today because many people don’t know their eternal destination.
On a positive note, the subject of Heaven has so many questions that the Bible answers.
"But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’ 10But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” — I Corinthians 2:9-10
This teaching series will focus on answering the common questions people ask when it comes to Heaven, the destination they desire to go to.

You were MADE FOR M.O.R.E.! When you follow someone, you tend to become like them. Following Jesus moves you from where you are to where you need to be as His follower.
Jesus asked the twelve disciples to follow Him because He knew they were MADE FOR M.O.R.E. Just like He asked them, He asks each of us who believe in Him for salvation to follow Him as well.
He gave us all one task – go and make disciples who make disciples. The essence of discipleship is a changed life that comes from a transformed heart.
This four-part teaching series will help you understand what it means to be a disciple who makes disciples.

The book of Ruth describes a time period in Israel's history when they were divided, famished, and being punished for disobeying God. In this book, God reveals His love and how He works on behalf of those who fear and trust Him.
Even during this difficult time, there is still a beautiful love story taking place. This love story between Ruth and Boaz is a picture of God providing a Bride (the Church) for His Son (Jesus).
The Book of Ruth is also a harvest story, as the “Lord of the harvest” gathers His sheaves (John 4:31–38).
“Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God.” - Ruth 1:16
Today we also live in perilous, uncertain, and divided times. The promises and blessings from God in Ruth still hold for us today. The best is yet to come if we...
- Surrender to the Lord and obey Him.
- Remember that no person is so far outside the reach of God’s grace that they cannot be rescued.
- Trust that God guides and provides for those who serve Him faithfully.

Work. For most of us, it's a necessity. For some, it's a passion, and for others it's the pits. However, it could be so much better for all of us if we were to take God to work with us. What if we could make an even bigger impact at our current workplace?
"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men." Colossians 3:23
Imagine the impact we could have in our workplaces when we apply the biblical keys to lasting eternal success. Taking God to Work challenges us to break the barriers between our spiritual life and our daily work. Let's take our work to the next level!

Are you Plugged into the Power of Prayer? Jesus’ “Model Prayer” is one of the most famous passages in the Bible and many people know the words by heart. But how many of us ever think about how it impacts and affects us day-to-day?
Prayer is not just a religious thing to do. It is an inward and outward form of communication with God. Prayer weighed so heavily on Jesus’ heart that He warned His disciples…
“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray to stand in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that men may see them.” Matthew 6:5
Jesus desires us to pray correctly, plugged into the model way He gave us to pray and not unplugged by repetitive, religious obligation.

In our culture, when we go out, we dress up! When you’ve really gone all out on your wardrobe, it’s said you are “Dressed to Kill.”
But the truth is that, as Christians, we are to be “Dressed to Kill” in God’s armor, knowing that the enemy wants to destroy us.
