Saying yes to Jesus often means saying no to ourselves.  But, in saying yes, we find who we were meant to be, those who are called to live an extraordinary life.

It is in worship that we reverence and honor God. Daniel’s message clarifies for us the role of music in leading us to a heart of worship. He exhorts us with the question, “Am I living a lifestyle of sincere worship?” In that context, he reminds us to use all that God has given us, as well as music, to bring Him glory and surrender to Him with a heart of worship.

Hospitality is  an expression of generosity that describes who we are because of the work of Jesus in our lives.  In this context may it be said of us that the spirit of hospitality characterizes  the way we touch lives with the gospel.  In this spirit may we be as in Acts 4:32 "of one heart and one soul."

God has extended an invitation to Go and engage people, far and wide, with Him.  Monira challenges us to take a look at the issues that keep us from stepping out and being Kingdom focused.  Taking our eyes off of ourselves, let’s step into these mission opportunities and accept God’s amazing invitation to partner with Him and change lives for eternity.

In this message, Darrell reflects on what it means to be “outward focused.”  Whether at  a church outreach, a family gathering, work, the gym or the ball park, to be outward focused should be a lifestyle, not just an event.  Jesus calls us to serve and love others as he has served and loved us.

“Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them….”  In this message Casey reminds us that Jesus esteemed the simple trust of these little ones and that we must be the kind of church community that vigorously protects them and points them to Jesus.

We serve a generous God.  He loves to give good gifts and gives far more than we could return.  Daniel  outlines with Biblical examples the ways in which God is generous toward us.  Have you received from God? What is it that God has put in your hand? The challenge is to give out of your overflow. When you do, your well will never run dry.

The new covenant introduces a love that transcends the constant pressure to perform in order to be accepted.  Darrell calls us to surrender to this life-changing, unconditional love of Jesus.
