Part 2: Living a Life of Gospel Intentionality
Gospel intentionality is a lifestyle that is seeking every opportunity to proclaim the gospel with actions and words, to both believers and unbelievers. It is a life that is not compartmentalized into religious activities and non-religious activities but instead sees everything as an opportunity to proclaim the gospel. This includes hobbies, home, work, school and the church. A gospel intentional person is a repentant person who recognizes his or her own pressing need for the gospel. In the following message, we further explore the book of Mark to see how Jesus both lived and taught a life of gospel intentionality.

You come First
Jesus did not come to earth to be served but to serve. This is our model, as followers of Christ Jesus is asking us to live for something bigger than storing up earthly treasures. As Paul says, it is our gift to have the opportunity to give our lives for such a calling. The Truth, "You come first," is meant to equip us as we live our lives loving broken people. As we live in this world, we should expect to be taken advantage of, and our calling is to go ahead and let that become our reality, let that become what we live for.

Biblical Repentance 10 - All of Grace and All for the Glory of God
My purpose in preaching this passage is to show you and remind you that redemption is an act of God by the grace of God and for the glory of God. Redeemed humans will receive the blessings of God in salvation but we will receive none of the glory. We are recipients of God’s grace and in that we will bring God glory but we will be forever in awe of the glory of God in eternity. So we might as well grow accustomed to that right now.

What Happened Last Week?
Last week at Cornerstone, we had a time to honor all of our volunteers that serve each week. We have been blessed to see a large number of our people serve. But why do they serve? We see an example in Luke 7 of true love and service. We serve because we have been forgiven. Sam encourages all of us to examine why we serve.
