The Connection Church

We cannot afford to take our relationships for granted. John Maxwell once said that “people can usually trace their successes and failures to the relationships in their lives.” Beginning this Sunday in our brand new sermon series, Winning With People, we will discover the people principles that will work for you every time to improve your current relationships and cultivate strong, exciting, and new ones.

F. F. Bosworth once said, “Most Christians feed their body three hot meals a day and their spirit one cold snack a week. And they wonder why they’re so weak in faith.” This Sunday, for our third and final part of Anchored, we will talk about building a victorious faith in the life of the believer by being sanctified through the Word of God.

You have probably heard about God’s sanctifying work in your life through His Word. But what does that process look like? How do you know if the living truth of Scripture is actually at work in your life? How do you know that God’s Word has actually taken root in your life? This Sunday, we will attempt to answer these questions by diving deeper into the process of sanctification.

What is sanctification? What is justification? These are big words that you have probably heard on a Sunday morning at some point. But what do they really mean? This Sunday, we will begin exploring what these words mean and what the difference is between them, because every Christian needs to be Anchored in the truths that theses words stand for.

Proverbs 19:11 says, “Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.” Overlooking an offense is not always easy, and at times it can seem near impossible. However, if the scriptures say that it can be done, then it can be done! This Sunday, for the last part of Conquering Offense, we will list the four symptoms of the easily offended. We will also look at the two main weapons that every believer must use that make it possible to overlook offense.

Many times when we think of the word offended we think, “ahh, they got their little feelings hurt.” But, offense is much more than that. It is a trap of the enemy to get us so wrapped up in our own feelings that we can’t function normally. Offense will impede your destiny and can even be a hindrance to the manifestation of blessings in your life. This is why it’s imperative for believers to defeat offense. This Sunday, we will continue with part three of Conquering Offense by listing the common characteristics of offense and naming the four symptoms of the easily offended.

Offense is one of Satan’s most deceptive traps to get you out of God’s will. The good news is that we don’t have to give in to the enemies devices. We are made to be more than conquers through Jesus our Lord. If we know what the Word says about us, instead of getting and living offended, we will overcome it! Join us this Sunday as we continue Conquering Offense.

Proverbs 4:23 says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” So as Christians what do we guard our hearts from? The answer is simple: offense. The enemy makes it his job to get us offended and keep us from walking in love. Offense is the point when you stop growing in life. The good news is that God has provided a way for us to be free from offense. This Sunday, we will expose the root cause of offense so that we can conquer it!

In exploring the life and trials of Joshua in the Bible, we are finding that God can and will use the circumstances of our life (the good, the bad, and the ugly) to forge in and through us a life of greatness. And we are discovering God’s wisdom for how we can better prepare ourselves for His plan. Join us this Sunday for the conclusion of Positioned For Greatness.
