If you’re going to do anything great for God, you’re going to face serious opposition. The enemy will come against you with everything he has. The offensive line isn’t going to sit back and watch you advance your dreams, your calling without a fight!

The Power of Teamwork - Part III: A Church TO All People
This sermon describes the role of every believer to serve as a missionary and a mentor (a.k.a. disciplemaker) to the world. It is not the responsibility of professional Christians missionaries and clergy to do this work (Ephesians 4:11-16), but rather it is the ministry of every believer. The sermon also challenges us to remember that every person is valuable to God, so we need not be discriminatory in who we hope to reach.

The Power of Teamwork - Part II: A Church OF All People
This sermon describes the concept of the Body of Christ, and how every believer is placed by God into the Body upon salvation. Once becoming a member of Christ's Body, each person, irregardless of age, gender, ethnicity, etc. becomes an invaluable part of the Body's function, just as our human bodies function best when every part, including the smallest or seemingly most insignificant, is working properly.

Philippians 1:27-30 - Heavenly Citizens
The Life we live matters. Today when people want to define what an Evangelical is we often forget that the Lordship of Christ extends to everyone area of our lives. We tend to focus on here and now when as Christians we should focus on our heavenly citizenship. We are heirs of the King, but far too often we seek the benefits of this world rather than the heavenly kingdom of which we claim we want to spend eternity. Why would anyone want to have a heavenly citizenship without holiness is just a reflection of how anemic and weak American Christianity is today. In this passage Paul gives us 3 avenues that will help redirect our loyalties toward the heavenly kingdom. They include: 1) The Call to live as worthy Citizens (27a), 2) The Distinctives of Worthy Citizens (27b-28), and 3) The Grace of Worthy Citizenship. For Paul the Gospel of Christ is first. The gospel must be the center pole of all that we do and any philosophy of ministry we have. The call to be a heavenly citizen is a call to salvation and be a disciple of Christ. Paul also shows how allegiance, spiritual steadfastness, teamwork, and fearlessness are character changes that will speak volumes to an outside world and to the Christian community about the supremacy of the Heavenly Kingdom. Finally Paul shows us that believing and suffering are given to us in our heavenly citizenship. The Philippians were all recipients of grace as they hade been given the gifts of salvation (believing) and suffering. If we only see grace to be only pleasant benefits and blessings then suffering will be seen to be anything but grace. This must be combated because it leads people away from the true God and the true Gospel.

Committed to the Common Good
Teamwork--it's what gets big jobs done. And the big job set before us is building the Kingdom of God by reaching out to others with the love of Christ. We must do it together like the people who committed themselves to rebuilding the wall of the holy city of Jerusalem. No one could have accomplished it alone--they had to work together, side by side, brick by brick.
