As believers in Christ, all of us are commanded by God to change, but change into what?

Our message this morning deals with six different characteristics inherent in biblical change.

Equation For Growth
Jesus said, “I will build my church.” Luke says that “the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” The early church experienced some pretty ridiculous growth. Was it because of first century marketing techniques and super-charged church programming? Or was there something else going on? In this message we will try and tap into God’s equation for growth.

Voices
Psalm 1 sets the tone for the the entire book of Psalms (and all wisdom literature for that matter) in that it shows the life giving wisdom in having concern for God, His Word, and godly living. Psalm 1 is an invitation and encouragement for God's people to strive to live wise and godly lives. This Psalm shows us that in life we have a choice - a choice of two lifestyles (the same two lifestyles we see depicted throughout wisdom literature) the choice of life or death - blessings or curses - a choice to go God's way or my own way - the choice of devotion to self or devotion to God and others. Will you devote yourself to the voice of God and His wordor will you listen to your own voice and/or the voice of the world and its philosophies? Key Passage: Psalm 1

Confessions of a Worrier
In Matthew 6:25-34 Jesus addresses the concept of worry. We worry when we face times of uncertainty. Worry is misplaced devotion. To counteract this, we need to shift our devotion. A good tool to use is the worry filter --- ask 2 questions. Have I done all that I can do? Am I willing to trust God to do what only He can do?

God's plan for His people is blessings - not cursings. But, God's plan requires devotion to Him. As believers, we have an enemy who's plan is to seduce us and keep us from that devotion, and ultimately, the blessings of God. God did not leave us defenseless - our protection from the enemy is the Word of God.

Making Room for Singleness
What can help singles with these problems that they frequently battle? Is it possible to live life as a fulfilled single? I believe that God's Word offers the help that we need for living a fulfilled life and responding to life's problems. In his letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul gave some very specific instructions for singles and how they could live a fulfilled life by being devoted to God. We can follow God's instructions for fulfillment by our undivided devotion to the Lord.
