The Church of Eleven22

God’s Word, the Bible, is an anchor for your soul in a world drifting ever-increasingly towards godlessness.

The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. - Proverbs 22:3 (NIV) The path that your life is on leads somewhere. Where is your life going?

“for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” – Jesus (Luke 6:45) 29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. – Ephesians 4:29 Should I say it? Is it gospel (grace-filled) truth? Is it timely? Is it helpful?

Real biblical discipleship is measured by replicating real biblical disciples.

Fear is putting your trust in your circumstances. Faith is putting your trust in your sovereign Savior.

Faith is not simply given to you, but should be given through you. What price are you willing to pay to reach one more generation?

“We would worry less if we praised more. Praise is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.” – Harry Ironside

We are not merely mistakers and bad decision makers that need to try harder to be better. We are sinful rebels that need salvation.

The gospel is for ALL PEOPLE. EVERYONE is invited. EVERYONE gets in the same way. The PRICE has already been paid.

The pursuit of happiness is the insatiable attempt to control your circumstances because happiness is dependent on everchanging happenings. Joy is found in the everlasting Jesus.

Who has God called you to bring the message of good news to this Christmas season? How am I to be a Messenger? 1.Share an invitation. John 1:43-49 2.Share the gospel. 1 Corinthians 15:1-3; John 3:16 3.Share your Story. John 9 4.Share a little more life. John 11:1-44

The person of Jesus overcomes the power of fear.

We BRING to God our FIRST and BEST because God FIRST loved us by giving His FIRST and BEST in Christ.

What if in God’s economy, success is not measured by what you do, but in who you raise?

Because of God’s relentless generosity toward us, may we leverage all that He has given us to reach ONE more for the glory of God.

In the body of Christ (the church), EVERYBODY counts. We are ONE church with many members to the glory of the ONE name that is above every name.

When we get a vision of the ONE true God, then we must respond with our ONE and only life.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, - Ephesians 5:25 See 1 Corinthians 13:4-11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. - 1 Corinthians 13:11 Action Steps: 1. Say thank you 2. Confess and repent 3. Love your wife. Provide. Protect. Pursue.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones. - Proverbs 12:4 You will either be a CROWN or CANCER to your household. Actions Steps: 1.Give thanks 2.Confess and repent 3.Encourage your husband

God loved so God gave. If you believe, then you receive eternal life.

God’s sovereign purpose for all of creation is to glorify Himself by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as He crushes Satan underneath our feet through the power of the gospel. Amen.

A life on mission in Christ is a life worth honoring.

A life well lived is not measured by accumulation or achievement, but by pouring yourself out for the glory of God on the mission of God by the power of God.

The gospel compels me to sacrifice myself for you to the Glory of God, not justify myself for me and my own glory. "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; and in all things, charity." - John Wesley (Maybe…there is an ongoing internet battle over who said it first…how ironic.)

Love rules over all rules and regulations. Jesus tells us the greatest commandment is to love God and love people.

20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” Matthew 22:20-21

A life offered to the Lord as a living sacrifice is a life marked by loving one another. The gospel calls us to treat others as Christ has treated us.

Although we are not saved by the church, we are saved into the church family. The body needs you and you need the body.

To be loved by God is to be given the reward that is obedience to God. We don’t obey to get a reward—though there will be plenty—obedience is the reward.

Until Jesus returns: No matter who you are, what you've done or where you're from, it’s not too late to surrender to Jesus.

What’s so amazing about grace is that God sent His Son to take YOUR place.

Do you hear? Do you understand? Will you surrender and fall into the outstretched arms of your Heavenly Father?

If you have been saved, then you have been sent.

In MERCY, God chooses whoever He wills for the purpose of declaring salvation is in Jesus Christ alone! God sovereignly chooses Israel to show His glory, that through Israel, Jesus Christ would come and make possible that all nations can know God.

God’s love toward us (as demonstrated through the cross and resurrection) is infinitely greater than anything this world can throw at us.

God's love for you is not measured by your circumstances, but by His sovereign grace toward you. To see His love, see the cross.

We are no longer slaves to fear. We are children of God.

The enemy says that you are condemned because of what you have done. The Father says that you are alive and free because of what Jesus has done for you.

We are not mistakers that need to try harder. We are sinners that need a Savior.

When you have been SET FREE by the gift of God's GRACE then you are FREE to GRACE others that are still in bondage through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

When Jesus is your Savior, He not only saves your soul from eternal damnation in the next life, but He SETS YOU FREE from the slavery of sin in this life. BE FREE.

You don't have to do the things you used to do because you are not the person that you used to be.

Our sin is like a hereditary disease that affects and infects every one of us. The good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ is that HE is the cure for ANYONE who would believe.

Through the cross and resurrection Jesus has conquered all of our fears. Are you ready to trade in your fears for FAITH in the Risen Savior? The presence of Jesus can calm all of our fears.

Grace is the free: Gift of Righteousness by faith Apart from works that Changes who we are by Eternally securing us in God's love
