The Church of Eleven22

Religious participation makes the immoral man more moral (hopefully). Only Jesus can make the spiritually dead man come to life.

Vision leaks and Mission drifts. To stay on mission as the church we must stay firmly established in His Word as we forcefully advance His kingdom.

Being on mission is not about WHERE you are, but its WHO you are. As we mature, we must leverage going on mission trips for a week to living on mission daily.

In order for a church to fulfill its mission it must be filled with people living missionally.

God is calling all people everywhere to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ.

The gospel demands we be “Disciple-Making Disciples”

The Gospel compels us to "turn the world upside down"

Believing that Jesus Christ, not your circumstances, is KING results in amazing God-confident-contentment.

"NO FEAR" comes not from a promise to protect from pain, but the promise of His presence.

God created you, pursues you, redeemed and rescued you, Not because of you but because HE SO LOVES...you.

Often times God’s “NO” yesterday is His “GO” for today.

Unfiltered debate and unswerving support of the gospel are essential to the Unstoppable movement of The Church.

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.“ Jesus

In order to not make trouble for those coming to the Lord…Its time for us to REBUILD a building as God continues to RESTORE His people.

Gospel centered community is not a dream to hope for but an opportunity to invest in. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.

The path to resurrection and life is always by of suffering and death.

"He must increase, but I must decrease" John the Baptist

Salvation does not mean that you INHERIT God because of who you are. Salvation means that God ADOPTS you into His family because of who HE is.

Freedom and forgiveness are found only in the grace of Jesus.

Your personal relationship with Jesus is intended to be lived out in authentic community.

No one wakes up and says, “Today I will become God.” Yet, everyday our pride tempts us to remove God from the throne of our hearts and replace him with misplaced hope.

Thank God that answered prayer isn’t based on our faith but on His faithfulness.

Psalm 22 The seven things Jesus said while on the cross.

He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his hands.

He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. (NIV)

Who am I that I would stand in God’s Way?

Water Baptism is the first step of obedience for a disciple of Jesus to publicly declare their faith.

God's forgiveness cannot be earned, inherited, nor self-declared. It must be received.

“…but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean. “ Acts 10: 28

Acts 10:1-8 True Obedience is rooted in TRUST. TRUST is built in RELATIONSHIP.

Dorcus / Tabitha raised from dead/ Big Impact on Community. Acts 9:32-43

Let us not deny nor be defined by our past, but trust the sufficiency of the CROSS to secure our destiny.

God has placed you on purpose so that you may “Open your mouth tell about the good news about Jesus”. Acts 8:26-40

Acts 8:9-25 Jesus did not come as merely a teacher to be obeyed, or a leader to be followed, but as a Savior to surrender to. Progressive Sanctification.
