    God has given to all believers the Great Commission – to preach the good news and make disciples. Here are 5 keys Jesus gives to effective evangelism.

    MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE INTRO TO TOPIC: When I mention the word “evangelism”, what do you think of? • Someone standing on the street corner shouting out, “Turn or burn!” • The fear associated with going from house to house knocking on people’s doors? 2008 = a year of new beginnings, and a year of ...read more

    The reality of the resurrection dawned slowly on those involved. Each was missing a crucial piece of the story. How does Jesus put the story of His new life together for you?

    In broadcasting or film making there are several types of ways of getting from one scene to another. Two of the most common are a cut and a fade. In a cut one scene is suddenly replaced with another. In a fade one scene fades out to black and is then slowly replaced with another that fades back up ...read more

    Paul the Apostle knew who he was (and was not) and his job in the kingdom. It’s his passion for his job that led him to write to a group of people he’d never met, in order to introduce himself and the theology of grace to them. It encourages us to know ou
