Transforming Connections

Ecclesiastes 4:7-12 “Rising from the debris of our lost values is the new value on the individual. The ‘me’ generation has given way to a ‘me’ world. The question is, how will the church, the ultimate ‘WE’ organization, adjust?” – Church Consultant, Lyle Schaller in The Connecting Church by Randy Frazee A life without connection brings isolation. Loneliness is a warning light on the dash board of your life that confirms that you are running low on the primary fuel you need: connection. A life without connection brings exhaustion. A life without connection brings frustration. Godly and meaningful connection brings production. Godly and meaningful connection brings provision. Godly and meaningful connection brings protection.

Matthew 9:35-38 1. We must engage in rigorous biblical instruction. 2. Evangelism must be at the heart of the church’s life. Acts 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes… 3. We should plant churches.
Essentials for the Times

Matthew 24:1-14 I. Take heed to yourself. (Do not be deceived.) Vs. 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed (watch out) that no one deceives you.’ II. See that you are not troubled. Vs. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. III. Guard your love for God. Vs. 12 And because lawlessness (iniquity) will abound, the love of many will grow (wax) cold. Guard your heart with all diligence for from it flow the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23 Above all guard the door of your mind with diligence, for out of it re the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23 A Faithful Version Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Proverbs 4:23 New Living Translation IV. Endure. Vs. 13 but the one who stands firm (endures) to the end will be saved. V. Preach the gospel! Vs. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
