I'm scared
Jesus, Life Coach: “I’m scared” Reconnect – November 1, 2009 Text: John 16:33, 17:9-19; Psalm 27:1-3 Key Thought: In the face of fear, Jesus offers his followers his courage; the ability to respond with wisdom to what life brings, based on trust in God. [Jesus said,] “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” [Then Jesus prayed,] “My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you. And all of them, since they are mine, belong to you; and you have given them back to me, so they are my glory! Now I am departing the world; I am leaving them behind and coming to you. Holy Father, keep them and care for them – all those you have given me – so that they will be united just as we are... And now I am coming to you. I have told them many things while I was with them so they would be filled with my joy. I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not. I‘m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. They are not part of this world any more than I am. Make them pure and holy by teaching them your words of truth. As you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world. And I give myself entirely to you so they also might be entirely yours. John 16:33, 17:9-19 (NLT)

God Only Is My Salvation
The Psalmist found a deliverance that was personal, powerful and pivotal in his life; but none of this came until he trusted God exclusively. We are so prone to trust God amid the many options available to us; often God will allow these options to be exhausted as He teaches us the blessing of trusting Him only for our deliverance.

WHAT IS THE GOSPEL? (1 Corinthians 15:1-11) 06-07-09 [Note: the first few minutes of this Sermon did not get recorded]
NOTE: the first few minutes of this sermon did not get recorded. Read the "Introduction" below and the Scripture passage (1 Corinthians 15:1-11) before listening to this message. INTRODUCTION: --> Today’s Topic: Theology/the gospel. --> Background to “the gospel” (“good news”): In the Old Testament [see Isaiah 40:9; 52:7-10; 60:6; 61:1]; In the Roman World [the good news (proclaimed) related to the Emperor (i.e. his birth, accomplishments, military victories, etc.)]; **In the New Testament [“the gospel of God” (Ro 1:1; 1Th 2:2,9), “the gospel about Jesus Christ” (Mk 1:1; Ro 15:19); “the gospel of God’s grace” (Ac 20:24); “the gospel of peace” (Eph 6:15); “the gospel of your salvation” (Eph 1:13); and “the gospel of the glory of Christ” (2 Co 4:4).” **Taken from the New International Dictionary of the Bible]; --> A Definition of the Gospel [“… the embracing category that holds much of the Bible together, and takes Christians from lostness & alienation from God all the way through conversion & discipleship to the consummation, to resurrection bodies, and to the new heaven & the new earth.”—D.A. Carson]. {The Outline below was adapted from John Stott & D.A. Carson}. THE GOSPEL is Christ-Centered & Theological: therefore Live & Preach a Christ-Centered Faith. THE GOSPEL is Biblical & Apostolic: therefore Think Biblically about the Gospel (see Acts 7:1ff; 13:13ff; Galatians 3:1ff); and Heed the Preaching of the Gospel. THE GOSPEL is Universal & Personal: therefore Believe God’s Life-changing Truth and Power. THE GOSPEL is Historical & Eschatological (Eschatological refers to the 2nd Coming of Christ, the overthrow/end of evil, and the ushering in of Christ’s kingdom): therefore Persevere in the Gospel by Faith.

Take it Personally
You've heard it... You may have even said it... "Don't take this Personally". Those words can make even the strongest individual cringe. The Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul would encourage to do just the opposite. We are to live and minister in a very personal way. The letter of 2 Timothy is written with a truly personal tone and the closing of the letter brings it all together. There is a personal God who wants to touch each life personally and his chosen ambassadors are His people - the church. Brace yourself, it's going to get personal

The Big Picture
As we begin this series, we find that Proverbs 3:5, 6; Galations 4:4, 5; Revelation 20:11-14, 1 Thessalonians 4:3 and Romans 13:1 support the fact that there is the unstoppable will of God; the moral will of God and the personal will of God.

All Mothers Are Perfect
Satan is an accuser and a deceiver, doing his best to convince us to buy into his lies. He wants to drive a wedge between us and our heavenly Father; trying to trick us, sidetrack us and divert our attention from what really matters. In this series we will investigate the truth that God's Word tells us about who we are and how we should live.
