Preparing For Great Things, Part 2
Like Gideon, God will begin to use you as you go in the strength you have. As in Gideon's life, this must come in part by our becoming "hewers."

Being Christian in a Post-Christian World - ENGAGE #1
In this series, we will study Daniel 1-6. There are many parallels between the situation Daniel faced and our situation today. Like Daniel, we work and live among a great variety of gods--not only those of other formal religions, but also the gods of achievement, independence, knowledge, pleasure, and ideology. In a religiously diverse culture which is at best indifferent and at worst hostile to faith in the one true God, what role should Christ-followers play in society? Rather than isolating ourselves or rejecting our world, we want to ENGAGE our world as people who trust in a powerful God, make positive contributions to society, and bring hope to others. If you've ever wondered how Monday-Saturday were related to Sunday, this series is for you.

A Gospel Community
The Church is not anything man can form on his own. Man can produce services, organizations, and entertainment, but only God can form the Church. And, He has done this through the Gospel. In this sermon, we look at our vision for being a community formed by the Gospel. We also introduce our vision for “Gospel Communities” within Charis, which are formed by the Gospel, for the Gospel, and empowered by the Gospel. These small groups of people will share their lives with one another as they participate in the mission of God together.

Biblical Growh Enhancement
As we drink the “sincere milk of God’s Word” (v. 2) we enhance the growth process that takes place in our lives. We grow in our understanding and realization of God’s purpose for our lives and experience a fulfillment that comes from “participating” (II Peter 1:4) in the very life of Christ.

More than Survivors
As we look at our text this morning in Acts 17, what might we learn from the life of Paul back in the first century, in terms of sharing the Gospel, that might translate into the challenges we face today? Instead of Paul being overwhelmed with what he faced when he entered the city of Athens - a city not unlike what we have today (i.e. pluralistic in terms of differing philosophies and inclusive in the sense that there were many gods); Paul determined to be More than a Survivor by hoisting the sails of opportunity. How did he do that? What can this chapter teach us in terms of engaging a largely pagan culture? Are we willing to follow the example of Paul and look for connecting points with those outside of Christian faith? Are we willing to move beyond the anticipated disrespect and resistance in order to bear faithful witness? And are we willing to show the same kind of interest in what others value, as we expect others to show in what we value?
