Philippians 2:3-8 (NLT)
3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

Selflessness;
The act of sacrificing ones own interest for the greater good

Going Public

Matthew 10:32-33 (NLT)
32 “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.

Your faith in Jesus should be personal, but it should NOT be private.

THE GREAT COMMISSION -
Matthew 28:19 (NLT)
19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Guess Speaker: Allen Shook

Psalm 100:1-5¹Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.²Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.³Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.⁴Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.⁵For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Revive, pt.3 – Dream Again

admin — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 17:00:38 +0000

The whole point to this series, Revive, is that there are many people – many of us – who are living on the outside but have areas that are dead or dying on the inside.

(John 11:25) Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.”

Revelation 1:18 NKJV
“I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”

God wants to breath life into His dream for you.

Revive, pt.2 – Believe Again

admin — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 17:00:21 +0000

Is that really what the Bible says? Is that really what God wants? Can the Bible be trusted? Does God really love me? If God is good, why is there so much suffering?

Doubt is not a cosmic sin.

It’s okay to have moments of doubt. Express your doubt. Talk to others about them. If you don’t face your doubts squarely, you are going to be in a heap of trouble. If you cower your doubts can dominate you and lead you into trouble…into defeat.

Doubt is different than unbelief and disbelief.

I love a good come back!

We will pay money to go watch a movie about someone against the odds the underdog who comes back from the brink of defeat.

The Resurrection Of Jesus Is The Ultimate Comeback!

Easter is not a remembrance of a past event, but a celebration of what is.

Forgotten Virtues, pt5 – Compassion

admin — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:00:36 +0000

If we’re going to have a church full of people who care. We are going to get outside of ourselves and we’re going to let God open our eyes to the needs of others.

Luke 6:35-36 (NLT)
35 “Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid… 36 You must be compassionate, just as your
Father is compassionate.

Forgotten Virtues, pt2 – Loyalty

admin — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:00:37 +0000

True loyalty is proven not proclaimed and true loyalty can only be proven under pressure.

Proverbs 19:22 New Living Translation (NLT)
Loyalty makes a person attractive. It is better to be poor than dishonest.

Proverbs 20:6 New Living Translation (NLT)
Many will say they are loyal friends, but who can find one who is truly reliable?
