One Thing

Sorry no posts for a long time, I had mono for like 4 months, but I'm finally getting back to normal.

For the next three weeks we will be having a "One Thing Sermon Series":
- February 20, 2011
- February 27, 2011
- March 6, 2011

During the course of these three weeks all three pastors will preach about one thing: discipleship. Christ calls all of us to follow Him. Christ is always asking us, by the movement of the Holy Spirit in our lives, to become disciples of Jesus Christ and to give our whole lives to God, but sometimes we get so distracted by all the things we can do for God, that we stop following God. In all the doing we forget how to "be still and know" God.

Church can be confusing and complicated. There are so many programs, meetings,  and events that we all, at times, lose sight of "the One" who matters most. In order to combat this trend in our busy church we are going to focus on a simple kind of discipleship, one that includes worship, small groups, and service.

With guidance from the Bible, The Simple Church (a book by Eric Geiger and Thom Reiner), and the Five Talent Academy, we as a church family will look at the things that matter most when it comes to being a disciple of Christ.

How are we being intentional about our own discipleship? Do we all spend enough time seeking God, or are we content to let God seek us? Have we let our Christianity become stagnant or complacent?

May we grow in our love of God and one another as we remember again the call of Christian discipleship.
