Sermons About Challenge
He's Coming: Are You Ready?
"He's Coming: Are You Ready?" Malachi 3:1-5 Part 9 Our readiness for His coming involves: 1. A thought that should challenge us. His coming should challenge: · The unbeliever to experience salvation. · The believer to pursue sanctification. This challenge involves: · A diligent examination. · A daily expectation. This expectation includes: * Wanting. * Waiting. * Watching. 2. A testing that should concern us. This testing involves: * A confrontation by the Lord. * Our condition before the Lord. Our condition will determine whether the day of His coming will result in a: * Grievous condemnation. * Glorious celebration.

Body Building
We are designed to be in a deeper relationship with Jesus. He is my answer to life's challenges, my eternal companion and my stabilizer. He also provides protection and power. We have no need to feel weak or defeated because Jesus has the power to heal.

Psalm 41
In the media, we see role models scrutinized for breaches of integrity, from politicians to sports figures. What does it mean to be a person of integrity? People of integrity have character and consistency. And, as we see in the story of the rich, young ruler, sometimes Jesus gives us big challenges to test our integrity, radical requests to alter our life's course and follow his way.

The Resolution Solution
Most of us are familiar with New Year's Resolutions. Either we make too many and spread ourselves thin or we ignore the opportunity to change and to nothing. The challenge this year is to do only one thing, which for some is to do less while for others it's to try something new.

Risky Faith
When was the last time you took a risk for Jesus? I mean something that you could’ve totally failed at and made a fool out of yourself? To be honest, it’s probably been a long time when I did something that fit that category. So what is keeping us from taking more risks for Jesus? How can we address our fears and lack of faith in such a way that we become the kind of risk-taking, faith-stretching followers He’s looking for? Today, we will look at a woman in scripture who set aside her fears and embraced her faith in such a way that her life was dramatically changed. And you will be challenged to step out of your comfort zone to experience what risky faith is all about! Key Passage: 2 Kings 4:1-7

On the Shoulders of Giants
As we look back in history, we should be challenged AND encouraged by the godly example of so many who have gone before us! As we seek to build the kingdom of God in our day – we do so – "on the shoulders of giants!" Hebrews 11 tells us that the "world was not worthy of them!" Will history say the same of us? During these next few weeks, we are going to be looking together at the mission we believe God has called us to live out in our city and region. As we talk of the impact He would have us to have on the world around us, I pray that you will be personally challenged to step into His call on your life. There are two basics that anchor everything we do: Loving People... And Following Jesus! Key Passage: Hebrews 11:13 & 38

We Were Made for This
In this message, Pastor Mike shares the secret to NOT having a boring Christian existence. Author Rick Warren has said "Jesus measured greatness in terms of service, not status. God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you." Get inspired, as you learn what you were made for! Key Passage: Romans 12:11
