Acts 2:1-4
When we are in true community we will show the world that there is someone who can change there existing circumstances. Someone who is purposeful and meaningful to their soul. A change that will last for eternity, not just for a moment.That someone is Jesus!
Community is not just a word on a sign or a crowd that goes to community meeting! Community is Christianity in its purest form with Jesus at its center!

Hebrews 12:1-3; Psalm 78:4;4:6-7
This text begins with a reference to the great chapter of “Faith”, Hebrews 11. Those who had lived through so much to continue forward in God’s Kingdom. Forsaking so much that they would love to have to accept what was better and that was God’s direction and His Truth.
Not changing the plan God had made to fit their own plans nor building off their own rules and cloaking them as though they were Gods. These great people of “Faith” believed God and His commands to gain what they could not yet see!
Sin Defined: The Bible describes sin as the breaking, or transgression, of God's law (1 John 3:4). It is also defined as disobedience or rebellion against God (Deuteronomy 9:7), as well as independence from God. The original translation means "to miss the mark" of God's holy standard of righteousness.

Serving Others
Monday May 05, 2014
Monday May 05, 2014
Text: Matthew 20:25-28
Three areas that will be addressed:
A. Love of God
B. Character of God’s Love in us
C. Serving others with that character of God’s Love
POINT: They wanted Him to be their king but He came to be their servant
POINT: Jesus served mankind in such a way that He was crucified for it. He came to serve not to be served!
As the Church we need to always know God’s love and how it is designed for our life. We must have the character of God’s love in us. Having that love active in us at all times. The act of serving others is as natural as breathing! These three areas of our relationship with God and also with others are pertinent to our reaching this world with the Gospel of Christ.

Being Reminded

Saturday Mar 22, 2014
There are gifts and promises that God has given each individual Christian (or child of God) that often times have become dormant because of a lack of practice or use. Put aside for the reason that it does not seem important anymore! Shelved because it did not seem possible to have such a gift or promise! Robbed by the enemy of your soul because he was threatened by what you had received!

Baptism: Obedience Revealed
Saturday Jan 25, 2014
Saturday Jan 25, 2014
Text: Mark 3:13-17; Romans 6:3-5
Revealed through an outward act that reveals inward change. The statement of action reveals the source of our salvation through Christ Jesus. One that is baptized is stating: 'I am dying to self inside that I may make a statement of life on the outside.'
What this signifies is that you believe in your salvation so deeply and truly that you realize the act of baptism is testifying of your death and now resurrection to life through Christ! Grace has been applied to your life so you may live that life assured of your salvation and your future hope in Christ Jesus. Your obedience is revealed in such a way that you identify with the glory of Jesus and His Resurrection and the gift that you have: Eternal Salvation!

Obedience In The Place
Saturday Jul 27, 2013
Saturday Jul 27, 2013
Text: Acts 2:1-4; Philippians 2:1-3; Romans 15:4-6
When you stop and really think about this awesome event that happened on the Day of Pentecost or the Feast of Pentecost you are made deeply aware of the birth of the Church and her initial characteristics of unity and faith in a living God!
Patience, Trust, and Obedience match as one unit of belief amongst 120 Christians waiting for the promise to be fulfilled! It was and with great power and an overflowing charismata that gripped the city of Jerusalem. To point of even asking the question: Whatever could this means?
Oh, that we could hear this question asked again (not repeating the Day of Pentecost) but for the Church to live in such unity and like-mindedness that the world would ask that question! They would ask again: Men and brethren, what shall we do?

Connecting As A Community

The question comes to mind of how one can accept all from the Lord and yet desire to give nothing back? The time between what really we have and what we can take with us to glory is but a breath (twinkling) away! What we have here on this earth cannot dwell in the heavens with the King of Glory!
The Church responds throughout history towards the commands of God, which are not burdensome. The Church maintains the doctrines of the Word as a rule of the Kingdom. When people begin to love the world more than God and love evil more than good is where the danger lies. The Church should always stand in unity on matters that will exemplify the principles of God’s Word.

The Seed And The Sower
Tuesday Jul 09, 2013
Tuesday Jul 09, 2013
Text: Luke 8:4-8; Luke 8:11-15
In every detail of Kingdom work there is a warfare that involves those that are fully committed to the task of extending and advancing the Kingdom of God and the enemy who desires to stop the work of the Kingdom.
Victory comes when the sower chooses the (right) seed to sow into the right place and has patience to wait for the harvest.
As sowers of the seed (Word of God) we must place the seed as often as we can. Whether it lands on good soil or not will not be the concern of the sower but the concern of the receiver of the seed (soil). That is why a farmer prepares the soil so it will receive the seed and produce a harvest when nurtured and watered. Waiting for it to receive the early and latter rain.

God's Increase
Tuesday Jul 09, 2013
Tuesday Jul 09, 2013
Text: 1 Corinthians 3:5-16; Psalm 127:1; Matthew 7:24-28; Luke 14:27-29
Church growth is ultimately the Lord’s work. The part that we take is obedience and commitment to the directives and commandments of the Lord. If there is no planting there is no harvest! If there is not watering the seed (plant) then there is no life not increase. So it quite logical that if you want a harvest you must sow the seed and water it! From your sowing a reaping will come! It depends on how much you sow and how much watering you do!
To many people attend fellowships with the idea that there is nothing for them to do or they just do not want to do anything! There is real commitment to sowing and reaping! There is intensity in the harvest and it takes dedication and patience! The harvest is always there it just takes the laborers to go… out and labor for the harvest!
