As believers, we are called to make most of our time. How are you doing on that directive? Our time might seem like it is ours to spend and do as we think we ought, but in fact, each moment of every single day is given to us by God. We ought to strive to make our days glorify the Lord in all we do and say.
This week, we will learn to pray with anticipation. I am sure you get excited knowing something is about to happen or someone is about to visit. How do you prepare for their arrival? Prayer is one way we can prepare our hearts and minds this season to experience Christ anew.
We continue this week with our new sermon series: L.A.N.D. and things we might have to look at in our lives to join God in HIs plans and purpose for us. This week, we look at what it means to Navigate and not just to fix our eyes somewhere but how to effectively Navigate the Narrow Road. Jesus said, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). There are things we can do to navigate in this world with godly perspective.
When God speaks, He will often call us out of where we are into something new He longs to do to show His glory. It might require us to make some adjustments in our lives in order to follow the plan and purpose of God. In our second week, we will discover what it means to Make Adjustments.
There is no sitting on the fence, there is a choice to be made in each one of our lives whether or not we are willing to follow Christ and move forward or not. Scripture tells us that we cannot be lukewarm Christians. God would rather have us either hot or cold, but not sitting on the fence in our faith.
We are studying what it means to L.E.A.P. toward God’s plan and purpose for our lives and as a church. This week, we top it off by maintaining focus on what God longs to do in us and through us.
We continue with our series on L.E.A.P. We will discover today what it means to Apply God's Word. We all go to the Bible and take a few verses out to emphasize what is going on or to back up and defend a position we hold. But applying God's word is more than that. Join us as we encounter what it means to apply His word correctly to our lives.
We head into our second week of learning what it means to LEAP toward God's Plan. By Embracing everything that today has, everything that God is doing and Embracing Jesus more and more, we will live the life He has created for us to live.
We begin this week with an introduction to our next mini-sermon series which will be entitled LEAP. As a church and as personal followers of Jesus we are being asked to LEAP into what God has planned for us.
Today is Pentecost, a celebration of the Holy Spirit coming and the birth of the Church. Let us be reminded that we are called out in service to God's plan. It is only by and through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can go and make disciples. Join us for worship as we discover what it means to be Empowered by the Spirit.
