Sermon Title: The Houses Around My House

Core Truth: As the church together, we are seeking ‘people of peace’ who will receive us and the good news of the gospel with welcome arms. We are all called to be active in seeking ‘people of peace’ in the houses around our house. This is one way we continue to fulfill our vision to build meaningful relationships with unbelievers right where we are.

Core Truth: When life is going well it is easy to forget about the goodness of God. We can become entitled and self-complacent. When life is not going so well we can doubt God’s mercy and care. How can we learn to trust God and recognize His goodness even when life is hard and when there seems to be no end in sight?

Core Truth: So much of life takes up space in our hearts to the point that we are not able to hear what God is saying to us.  But do you remember when God put you into friendship with him?  It is out of that relationship that He draws us into a most important appeal to lead others into friendship with Him as well.  This message is about joining Jesus in His mediating work of helping people find their way into a right relationship with God.

Core Truth: It is easy to live our lives as if we are spinning wheels on a car. It looks good and it throws up a lot of dust but it is not moving forward. We need the fresh revival of the Holy Spirit if we are to get unstuck and begin moving forward with purpose and joy.
