2 Samuel 13

Everyone exercises some kind of faith. The important thing is where you place your faith. We will, by grace, put our faith in Jesus.

Hope is Confident Expectation. Let your confidence and strength be In Christ.

In 1 Corinthians 13:13, the apostle Paul simplifies our new identity in Christ with the concepts of faith, hope, and love. This series will examine these three themes which guide our relationship with God and our relationships with others.

We encourage people to relate in genuine ways with unbelievers and seek to share Christ out of healthy relationships.

Jesus’ followers are fishers of people. This is an essential part of being a disciple. It’s not something that only a few of us do; it’s something that all of us do. Ask God to help you identify one person you can, with the help of the Holy Spirit, bring to faith in Christ.

Imagine the impact if every Christian had ONE person they prayed for and shared the Gospel with. Identify the one for whom we will commit to pray and seek to share the gospel. Each person writes his or her ‘one’s’ name on a Prayer Bookmark and begin praying for that one.

This series looks at some of the stories surrounding the narrative of Jesus’s birth, as well as our call to worship him and love others. By understanding the Father’s generous heart in offering Jesus to us, we can celebrate the joy of the season. Every believer is equipped to share through their testimony. The freedom of forgiveness enables us to touch the lives of those around us.

Big Idea & Action Point:

We want to be connected to God and to one another and we want to help others get connected to God and one another.

Colossians 1:18 – “And He is the head of the body; the church. He is the beginning, the first born from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent.”

What does Calvary want to look like?

We are a collection of people who are seeking to put the needs of others ahead of our own. We are servants and ministers to one another who watch out for one another, care for one another and encourage one another to live for Jesus and become more like him.

“We practice daily what we believe.

All the rest is just religious talk.”

- Peter Lord

My vision for 2020 is for you to have a deeper, stronger, clearer connection to Jesus than you’ve ever had in your life. My vision is for you to connect here in genuine, safe, liberated relationships. My vision is for you to connect at least one other person to Jesus this year.

Jeremiah 23:29 - “My words are like a hammer that breaks rocks into pieces.”

Where is the hammer falling on your flesh?
