     | 4,633 views

    Too many people are trying to do a mission for God instead of participating in God’s mission. Only when we allow the power of His word and His Holy Spirit to work in us and through us will we truly be on mission with God.

    How to Be On Mission With God (Phil. 2:13,14) "For God is at work in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure."

    Too many of our day seem to think that because they sit through church services that they have participated in worship. However, that isn’t necessarily true. Sadly, many Christians these days are simply going through the motions, without heart involvement

    It's Tradition Series

    Many of us participate in Traditions, but never ask the question, "Why do we do that?" Communion is so much more than a simple tradition. It's about remembering what Jesus did for us.

    July 03, 2021 It’s funny how traditions get started. They are important, to be sure, because they remind us of home and family and culture, but sometimes we participate in them not knowing why we do them because we have never stopped to ask, “Why do we do that?”. ...read more

    This message is a call to pursue God's presence during a worship service. New Testament Christianity calls for our participation. We must be careful our "worship" service doesn't become a performance with an audience. We want everyone engaging in worship.

    2/26/17 In the introduction to his first epistle, the Apostle John talks about his revelation of Jesus and then gives this reason for writing this letter, 1 John 1:3. “that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you [here is his purpose- that you] also may have fellowship with us; ...read more

    When sharing our faith, we must understand that we participate in both the cross and the grave; our sin was the cause of His death. We cannot get to the resurrection without the death of Jesus, and it's critical we remember to share that!

    Jesus’s Death John 19:17-42 Following Pilate’s decision to crucify Him (through God’s authority) Jesus is taken to the place of Golgotha to be executed Romans have dialed into this brutal method; they are skilled at it ∆ A Cruel Punishment He was placed between two ...read more

    Before I get started in this sermon I have a little pop quiz for you that I would like for you to participate in. I will ask you three questions and immediately answer them with the first Word that comes to your mind.

    ARE YOU READY? 1: First question, “I said, Do it?. The answer? It’s probably the word “Now”. 2. “I want it?” What is the first word that came to your mind? It’s probably was the word “Now.” Not next week, not next month, not next year, not tomorrow, but now!” 3. In a common prayer we might ...read more

    This message emphasizes the importance of living a life of forgiveness. Every year, many will celebrate the Jewish feast of Yom Kippur, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles. This feast requires participants to afflict their bodies and cleanse their souls in true repentance before God and others.

    Saints must build the Body of Christ through active participation/action. Every church worker is vital; if only one slacks off, the entire effort of the church suffers. Whatever your ability, if you are working for the Lord, it is “for the profit of all."
