Do you connect your choice to follow Christ with the way you live every day? Choosing to follow Jesus is a choice to see better and to live differently. This is Sunday's sermon from Acts 16:19-24.

"Go," Jesus said, "make disciples!" So much is wrapped up in that statement! Making disciples isn't a religious event; it's the overhaul of life so that the Spirit of God begins to reign. Acts 16 shows the freedom God brings by His Spirit! Join us!

We tend to hold onto things that we love. Our love for God is often shown by what we give up. How much of you is yielded to the King of Kings? Will you give him your plans? Join us in hearing from Acts 16 and the apostles' decision to do just that!

What do personal identity, martyrdom and evangelism numbers have in common? Way too often, the answer is "self." God's Word shows us the remedy for this common problem of putting ourselves before Jesus Christ. Join us as we hear from Acts 16.

So often, the work of the Lord often gets forgotten, or more often, completely left for others. Acts 15 helps combat some of the common lies that keep us on the sidelines of our faith. Join us in listening…

Joy doesn't have to be an accident or rare surprise. Acts 15 served us as a great reminder of what to rejoice in. Join us as we hear from God's Word, some characteristics of joy. Also, check out the additional handout for help cultivating joy.

God's ways are different than ours and when we follow Christ, it means change; but the change is so good. Join us as we hear the call to live all for Jesus in freedom and purity from Acts 15.

When the going gets tough, where do you go? The early Church looked to faithful leaders. The question is not if we need leaders, it's what kind of leaders do we need? Acts 15 gives us a great example of what kind of leaders to look for; what kind to be.

God is faithful! We spent the first 15 min. of this sermon hearing impromptu testimonies of God's faithfulness to people in the congregation. Acts 14 records the example of two faithful men. Will you allow God to make you faithful like He is? I hope so.

What is the driving force in your life? So many people are looking for that one, big purpose to live for. So few people have a passion that would move them to serve beyond the norm. Do you? Acts 14:19-23 points us to the best purpose any of us could have.
