We can be courageous because…

God is good

God is sovereign

God is Loving

1 Timothy 2:1-3 sermon by guest speaker Pastor Jerry Erickson.

Inclusiveness is accepting others because Christ accepted us.

True faith in Christ is Exclusively Inclusive: 

Exclusive because Forgiveness comes ONLY through Christ.

Inclusive because the invitation to receive God’s forgiveness through Christ is offered to all.

The truth is that God is the Father you can depend on.

God is the Father you can depend on. 

Depending on Him will bring change to your life.

Are you willing to be transformed by depending on Him?

Jesus takes the pieces of our broken lives, fits them together, reconnecting them through the bonding agent of his shed blood resulting in a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece of artwork which glorifies the Father as it exudes His Grace expressed to us.

1 Chronicle 28-29

Authentic and acceptable worship will cost you everything. Take a daily inventory of the condition of your heart in relationship to God's place in your life. Grow daily to know God deeply and submit your choices and path to Him.

John 10 - Jesus the gatekeeper, the gate, the shepherd

The only way to the Father - into the presence of the Holiness of the One True God - is through Jesus.

But how is this possible?

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

WE FIND A PURPOSE TO FULFILL THROUGH WORSHIP

    How can you adjust your perspective to find your purpose in bringing glory to God?

WE HAVE A PLACE TO SERVE TO BRING GOD GLORY

    Where has God prepared and called you to serve Him in the temple of His Church?

WE HAVE AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW IN JESUS

    Is Jesus in His proper place in your life?

    Is there anything you are holding back that you need to release to God?

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 "Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. "

What changes is God making in you to build a living temple of worship?

How are you being united with others to be a living temple of worship?

Are we known as a living temple where people come to know God?
