August 4, 2024 • Chase Snyder • Matthew 28:18–20, Matthew 22:34–40, Ephesians 4:11–16
Why are some churches able to reach more people than other churches? We all know the mission that Jesus left the disciples to “go and make disciples of all nations.” So why aren’t more churches doing this? A chaotic culture needs an intentional church. Unfortunately, many churches have been more interested in entertaining fans instead of equipping Jesus followers to be on the field. Jesus not only gave us a mission, but He also gave us a vision and strategy. Christians should faithfully follow Jesus and intentionally lead others to Jesus. In this sermon, Chase will teach from Matthew 22:37-40 and cast a vision for how our church will be laser focused on helping everyone follow Jesus and lead others to Jesus.
Faithfully Following
August 11, 2024 • Chase Snyder • Matthew 4:18–22, Luke 9:23–27
When Jesus called the disciples, he offered a simple invitation, “follow me.” Two simple words that lead to a point of decision. Many people want to walk with Jesus in heaven, but they don’t want to walk with Jesus on this earth, and they miss the Gospel. In this sermon, Chase will preach from Luke 9:23-27 and explain that faithful followers of Jesus are: Known by Jesus, Walks with Jesus, Lives in community, Serves like Jesus, Shares about Jesus. Chase will explain what our church plans on doing to help people faithfully follow Jesus. A chaotic culture needs an intentional church that’s focused on helping people faithfully follow Jesus.
Intentionally Leading
August 25, 2024 • Chase Snyder • Matthew 4:18–22
Every team has the same goal: to win a championship. But not everyone accomplishes their goal. Why? Every goal must have a plan, strategy, and intentionality to move forward. Every church has the same goal: to help people follow Jesus. But every church must be intentional to lead others to Jesus. In Matthew 4:19, Jesus said, “Come, follow me and I will send you out to fish for people.” If followers are to be fishers of men, it begs the question: If you are not fishing, are you a follower? Every follower has a God-given responsibility to serve like and share about Jesus. Pastor Chase will explain what our church plans are doing to help people intentionally lead others to Jesus. A chaotic culture needs an intentional church that’s focused on leading others to Jesus.
For the Sake of the Gospel
September 1, 2024 • Chase Snyder • 1 Corinthians 9:19–27, Luke 19:10
Following Jesus and leading others to Jesus is hard work. So why are we doing it? Paul said that he led others to Jesus “for the sake of the Gospel” (1 Cor. 9:23). Jesus said that he came “to seek and save those who are lost” (Luke 19:10). In this sermon, Pastor Chase will explain that we exist to glorify God as we follow Jesus and lead others to Jesus. Our motivation isn’t to build our local church but to build the Kingdom of God. A chaotic culture needs an intentional church that’s focused on the Gospel.
