Sermon - "E - Extension"
When we accept Jesus Christ into our heart, mind, soul and life,
we are saying that we will follow His ways, do what He says we should do, act
the way He would have us act, and worship God His Father. In order to do
that, there are basic commitments which go along with that acceptance: such as spiritual growth, behavioral modifications, attitude
adjustments, daily living practices, worship, study, etc.
How can we accomplish this?
One of the best means for us to have all that happen, continue to flourish and
have Christ foremost in our lives, is to be a member of an
active small group of persons who have the same desire and thirst to follow
Christ as do we ourselves. These groups allow for:
1. the building of a loving, caring family of friendships, relationships,
and service
2. study of the Bible and other spiritually uplifting,
inspiring materials
3. a growth in knowledge and joy of Christian living as a
devoted follower of Christ
4. and a time for straight-forward sharing and prayer.
This sermon series, starting January 8th
and progressing through February 5th of 2012, will focus on the next
phase of our 5-year plan – the formation of and participation in small groups,
which are officially named LIFE Groups. Each sermon will focus on a
letter of the acronym (LIFE) to give us a basic understanding. The building and
deepening of relationships and creating a sense of home with its security,
comfort, and safety will be the end result of this series through the formation
of LIFE Groups thereafter.
