God chose us to make a difference, but He doesn’t want us to do it alone. This message series will focus on values that will inspire our church in faith, serving, generosity, and evangelism. What we can’t do alone, God empowers us to do together.

“This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14

“...how should we then live?” Ezekiel 33:10c KJV

●     Speak boldly

●     Live purely

●     Love deeply

●     Endure faithfully

1. Speak boldly: We declare Christ even when it costs us.

“For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain, but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.” 1 Thessalonians 2:1-2

2.   Live purely: We live to honor God, not to please people.

“Just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not intending to please people, but to please God, who examines our hearts. For we never came with flattering speech… nor did we seek honor from people, either from you or from others…” 1 Thessalonians 2:4-6

3.Love deeply: We don’t just share the gospel, we share our lives.

As a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children,  in the same way we had a fond affection for you and were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives.”  1 Thessalonians 2:7-8

4.Endure faithfully: Stand firm when the pressure is greatest.

“For this reason, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith; for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 3:7-8

“Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:12-12

“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.” Revelation 22:17
