Major Steps of Faith
Glorifying God with: 1 The devoted private steps when no one is watching 2 The bold public steps that align with God's word 3 The faithful steps that inspire and leave a legacy"
It's Time to Answer the Call
The Call: 1 There is a spiritual battle that rages, and you need God's armor. 2 God is calling you to participate with prayer and fasting. 3 God has breakthroughs and boldness for you.
Great Sacrifice, Greater Reward
Jesus is about to demonstrate how far He will go express His love for mankind. He will sacrifice everything and show how to focus on eternal rewards. Those who were there that day, heard Jesus explain what the commitment would have to be, and heard His Father confirm the importance of the sacrifice. This would be one more example of what it means to follow Jesus. To die to self, to fulfill God’s purpose in this life, to then receive eternal reward in heaven.

Where is the joy? 1 Learning to linger in God's presence 2 Finding out what really satisfies 3 Having a secure future hope that is full of wonder 4 Bringing the hope of Jesus to others around you
Advent: Peace
What peace does Jesus offer you? What are your peace blockers? How powerful is the peace of Jesus?
Advent: Hope
1 We run out of hope because of our disappointing circumstances. 2 We have misplaced hope that is not where it belongs. Hope includes wisdom. 3 We can live with indestructible hope because of Jesus.
With Love
In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul unpacks the nature of love, listing the qualities and activities that should be top priorities in both the individual Christian’s life and the corporate life of the local church. Without genuine Christian love, he warns us, churches may begin to drift. Habitual love, however, magnifies Christ and edifies His people. Christian maturity is not measured by giftedness but the display of love.

Three Traps: 1 Some people have abilities and admiration, but not much love. 2 Some people have answers and accomplishments, but not much love. 3 Some people have altruism and allegiance, but not much love.
