    UNSTOPPABLE IDIOTS BECOME UNSTOPPABLE.

    OUR MISSION: LOVE, CONNECT AND GROW THROUGH KNOWING GOD AND SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.
    It was (God) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of ministry... Ephesians 4:11-12a

    • GOD DOESN’T CALL THE PREPARED, BUT HE PREPARES THE CALLED.

    When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13

    idiotes (id-ee-o'-tace); an ignoramus, an ignorant or unlearned person, an idiot.
    IDIOTS WHO HAVE BEEN WITH JESUS

    1) GIVE THEIR WHOLE LIVES TO HIM.

    When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!"... Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men." So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. Luke 5:8, 10b-11

    2) BECOME UNSTOPPABLE.

    Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."

    Acts 5:38-39

    • HOW DOES GOD WANT TO USE YOU TO PARTNER WITH OTHER BELIEVERS AT MIDDLE RIVER A/G?

    Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

    THINK ABOUT IT.
    1) We talked about how God doesn’t call the prepared, but He prepares the called. Describe a time used you to make a difference even though you felt unqualified.
    2) Are you “all-in” spiritually? If not, what are you holding back from God?
    3) How does God want you to partner with others at Middle River A/G?

    UNSTOPPABLE PARTNERS

    OUR MISSION: “Love, Connect and Grow through knowing God and Serving our community.”

    All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:44-47

    • GOD WANTS US UNITED.

    • SATAN WANTS US DIVIDED.

    All the believers were divided. They didn’t have much of anything in common. Hoarding their possessions and goods they kept as much as they could for themselves. Every now and then, if it wasn’t football season and they weren’t too tired, they would come to church for an hour and leave early to beat the traffic. They loved Jesus when it was convenient for them, yet they were despised by people for their hypocrisy. And very few people got saved. Craig (Groeschel)2:44-47

    WE AGREE

    1) TO DO ANYTHING SHORT OF SIN TO REACH PEOPLE WITHOUT CHRIST.

    ...I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible... I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.
    1 Corinthians 9:19,22b

    2) TO ACCOMPLISH MORE WITH LESS.

    You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.

    Matthew 25:23

    3) TO ACCOMPLISH MORE TOGETHER THAN ALONE.

    There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. Acts 4:34-35

    4) WE ARE A MICROCHURCH WITH A MEGA VISION.

    (Jesus) said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Mark 16:15

    5) WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

    Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

    WILL YOU PARTNER WITH US TO LEAD PEOPLE TO LOVE, CONNECT AND GROW THROUGH KNOWING GOD AND SERVING OUR COMMUNITY?

    _ YES ___ NO
