Ephesians 2:8-9 - The Five Solae - Oct 29, 2017

This year marks the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation led by Martin Luther.  Below are 5 tenets of faith that were emphasized by Luther and other theologians of the time.

Sola Scriptura – We believe that the Holy Bible alone is the basis for all of our faith and practice.

Solus Christus – We believe that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone.

Sola Gratia – We believe that salvation is only available because our Gracious God reached out to us first with mercy.

Sola Fide – We believe that salvation comes through our response of Faith alone to God’s grace extended to us and not from works of righteousness or ceremony.

Soli Deo Gloria – We believe that God deserves all honor and glory for his works in us and in our world and that the pursuit of our lives should be to seek the glory of God and enjoy a relationship with him.

What authorities are you often tempted to believe in besides the Bible?

What other avenues of salvation, justification, or righteousness are you tempted to rest in?

What other glories are you tempted to seek besides God?

When was the last time you sat down and examined your life and tried to re-align the way you live with how God desires for us to live?  How would you go about doing that?

What do you Worship? - Mark 1 & 2 - June 11, 2017

What is the work of your hands that you admire most?

What natural scene is most awe-inspiring to you?

Do you ever elevate earthly things a bit higher than you should?

Do you ever treat things of earth higher than the things of God?

What do you have a hard time keeping in perspective?

Make it your goal this week to ponder the works of God in the past, present, and future and let it move you to worship.

,

MARY---A PASSIONATE-CHRIST-FOLLOWER

Text: John 12:1-8

 Introduction:

-A true mark of a transformed disciple of Jesus Christ is ___________

______________________

_______________ and practicing ones faith with joy and enthusiasm.”

 (Natural Church Development) How do we know if a church has this passionate spirituality?

·         A church that has passionate spirituality is _______________; everyone is catching it.

·         Church decisions are made by the ______________ they have about their Lord.

·         Passionate spirituality will produce the______________ of Christ.

·         Passionate spirituality results in deeds of_______ and ____________.

 

A PASSIONATE CHRIST-FOLLOWER WILL….

 

1.      GIVE ____________AND ___________________________

-All passionate Christ-followers will give generously to Christ and his Kingdom. II Corinthians 8:1-9; II Corinthians 9:6

 

2.       WORSHIP GOD_________________________________

-Worship to God is not only what we do on Sunday morning by attending and participating in a service. Worship to God must be a life-style throughout the week.

-Our worship to God, every moment and every day, wherever we are, becomes a sweet fragrance to others.

John 4:24; Isaiah 29:13

 

3.       SHOW _____________________ TO GOD

-A passionate Christ-follower must be fully devoted to God.-We never do things for God to earn his favor. – Ephesians 2:8-10

-Acts 2:42

-Where is our devotion to God level?

 

Conclusion:

-We also see in this story the greedy heart of Judas. His heart was not right with God.

-Sometimes in the moment of greatest joy and worship someone can bring a negative outlook or comment that deflates the joy of the moment.

-We must always guard our heart that we don’t respond like Judas.

 

-As we continue to move forward in 2017, Mary serves as a wonderful example of a passionate Christ-follower:

1)      Are we willing to give freely and sacrificially to God’s work? (Our money, time, encouragement, our lives) Is there any greed in our heart that holds us back from giving?

2)      Do we worship God wholeheartedly? Has worship become a routine exercise or duty in which we find no joy?

3)      Do we show our devotion to God in actions and not only words? What acts of devotion would God be calling us to in the days ahead?

Prayer for the Next Generation - Ephesians 6 - October 30, 2016

,

Will you get in the fight?  Better put on the full armor of God.

Will you pray for our church's youth?   

Will you get involved and engage with them?

Do you wish you'd had someone helping guide you through your teen years?

Will you be that person for the youth of our church?

Will you commit to praying for the youth of our church?  Name them by name, get to know them, walk alongside Hannah and pour your life into our youth.

Feb 28, 2016 - Ephesians 6:19-20 Darrell Minnich

Have you ever been 'on the spot' to explain why you believe in Jesus Christ?

Does it make you nervous for fearful to testify of your faith in God?

Which priorities drive your life?

Do you share prayer requests with others?  Would you be willing to be open and vulnerable enough to share personal needs and areas of your life which need growth?

Is there any person around you which you have been trying to share your faith with?

How can we pray for your life and ministry?
