A Generous Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.

Synopsis: In life graduation is necessary and certain. In God graduation is also necessary and certain. Jesus prepared his disciples for Spiritual graduation. They were challenged to go out...

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Points: 1. Excitement 2. Anxiety 3. Authority 4. Commission 5. Promise

Are you willing to pray, give and go to spread the message of Jesus?

Crucial Commitments For Authentic Christians
Many people today have mixed feelings and a lot of questions about the church. How important does the church have to be to a follower of Christ? What are the most important things that the church is supposed to do? How committed should I be to the church? The passage that we've come to in Acts 2 helps us with these questions.

Essentials Part 2

We will also speak to the essentials of the church. These are the things that we will have a close hand on as we have an open hand to the culture around us.

More Love
"According to scripture, wanting to receive and express more love is something that God will help us with. The degree to which you and I are loving people may not keep us awake at night except for one thing, that in God's economy, the single highest value by a factor of X is love. It is the primary measuring rod by which your life and my life will be judged. So how do we grow More Love?"

Stretched
Sermon Two Part Two: The boy who gave his seemingly insignificant lunch to Jesus found out that it was really significant. In the hands of Christ it was multiplied-stretched. In God's hands we are stretched. NIV John 6:1 Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick. 3 Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. 4 The Jewish Passover Feast was near. 5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" 6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. 7 Philip answered him, "Eight months' wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!" 8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, 9 "Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?" 10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. 12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." 13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. 14 After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world." I. Strategic Position II. Strategic People III. Their Role is to Bless You IV. They Bless You by Stretching You ** Illustration: Everyone given a piece of Bubble Gum during the offering time. During the sermon I will ask them to blow a bubble which will symbolize being stretched.

Why the Local Church? (Ephesians 4:11-16)
In God's design, the local church is to serve as 1) a place to hear God's word preached and applied in a systematic way; 2) a place to put our commitment to God, and to one another, into practice; 3) a context for us to mature; 4) a place to discover and practice our ministry and spiritual gifts with perspective and leadership; 5) a protection from doctrinal error; 6) a place to demonstrate the gospel; and 7) a place to preserve and cultivate the fruit of the gospel.
