Trust God…Stay the Course! 2nd Service-Child Dedication

Encountered
Until an encounter with the resurrected Christ occurs, human reasoning cannot overcome the horror of the cross. As Christ breathed the Holy Spirit onto His disciples, consider its post-resurrection application today. Text: John 20:11-22
Sacrifice
Where the world would have us believe sacrifice is optional, Jesus shows us that giving up our lives for His sake is the only way to truly live. Text: Matthew 20:20-28; 26:26-30
Success
Where the world measurers success according to accumulated wealth, power, and possessions, Jesus defines success in terms of who we serve and what we value most. Text: Matthew 6:19-24; 16:23-26
Revealed-What Christ Desires in His Church…Be white-hot in the Spirit
To the seventh and final church, Jesus provides a stark image of the church being neither hot nor cold as Jesus is found standing outside their door knocking, yearning to be invited in. Consider the indisputable warning and application as Jesus desires the church to be white-hot in the Spirit. Text: Revelation 3:14-22
Revealed – What Christ Desires in His Church…Be Pure
As the Revealed series continues, Jesus speaks needed words to the fourth church living among a hard-working but tangled up culture as result of sexual perversion and false teaching. Consider how “Be Pure” remains the cry of the Lord of the Church. Text: Revelation 2:18-29
Revealed – What Christ Desires in His Church…Be Like Jesus
We launch this seven-part Revealed series and immediately encounter needed words spoken by Christ to a suffering and bloodied Church. Consider its application: when we love our first love, we love like Jesus. Text: Revelation 1:10-20, 2:1-7
