    If Christians don’t share the gospel with others, no one else will. The Republican or Democratic parties won’t do it. The board of education won’t. The Rotary club won’t. The church has a unique calling no other organization has to share the Gospel. (Matthew 9:35-38 and John 4:1-42)

      Bottomline, if we want to experience the transforming power of Christ in our lives and in our church, we need to pray more than we do. So the question is, What is that going to look like for you? I hope it looks like Jesus. (Luke 11:1-4; Matthew 6:5-8; Matthew 7:7-11)

        Jesus talked more about money than any other topic because he wanted us to understand that life is more about giving than getting. And Jesus modeled what he taught – giving his life for us. (Matthew 6:19-24; Matthew 13:44-45; Mark 14:3-9)

          Observe how Jesus calls his disciples to follow him and why? What is your response to Jesus’ call to follow? (Matthew 4:18-22, Luke 5:1-11)

            The goal of every Christian is to become more and more like Christ. However, we get easily sidetracked in this process. In this New Year’s sermon we are challenged to resolve to become more like Christ in 2012, no matter what it takes. (Colossians 1:28, 2 Corinthians 3:16-18, Galatians 5:17-17)

Could it be that God preserved this story for us so we would have the same response? So why don’t we? What are some of the things that rob our joy at Christmas and the things that restore it? (Matthew 1,2 and Luke 1,2)

But as we look on mankind today there seems to be very little peace. In this message we explore the places where the Bible says we can find and expect peace. Beginning with peace with God, the peace of God, peace in the body of Christ and ending with total world peace one day. (Luke 2:8-14; Isaiah 9:6)

We all matter and our contribution counts. It also reminds us of the value of “Team.” (Colossians 4:7-18)

Rather, it is dependent on more committed prayer and a more contagious witness in the lives of its people. (Colossians 4:3-6)
