Forward Motion: Overcoming Complacency by Todd Newsom

II Cor. 5:11-21

If we are to overcome complacency, where do we begin?

  1. Our personal spiritual walk

    1. Our focus tends to be on the things of this world.

    2. Helping people

      • Matt 25:34-46

      • The church is God’s plan A and there is no plan B.

  2. Engaging our own young adults

    • 70% 18-22 y/o

    • 35% return by the age of 30

    • Deut 6:4-9

  3. Reaching our community
    • Mark 16:15-16

    • Only 26% of people in Alabama are in church on any given Sunday.

    • A Fortunate cultural trend: Invest & Invite.

    Behave Belong
    Believe Believe
    Belong Behave

It’s not about taking a giant leap, It’s about taking small steps forward.

Do you live as if you are on the battlefield?

The Creation of Moms by Don Campbell

Women are completely different creatures.

In His Time by Don Campbell

Patience

Waiting until later for what you want right now.


Impatience violates the very first commandment.


You are a god.

Psalm 82 and John 10:33-36


When I want things in MY time instead of God’s time ….I am putting a god before GOD.


Acts 1:7

“It is not for you to know the times”


Psalm 31:14-15

“My times are in your hands”

Hearing the Voice of God by Daryl Greer

2 Weeks ago we talked about 4 points
  1. "My Kingdom is not of this World"
  2. Human leadership in the Kingdom of God is different than the worlds
  3. The church is the body of Christ (not an association, not an institution, not a company)
  4. The head of the Body of Christ is Jesus
Last week we looked at several ways that Shepherds do their jobs
  • Teaching
  • Prayer
  • Spiritual Discernment
Today, we will look more closely at the Spiritual Discernment and what it means to be led by the Spirit.

Shepherds Beside Us

As the church prepares to add two more Shepherds, the current Shepherds and Don have a panel discussion of what it means for having Shepherds who are beside us.

Daryl reminds us of his lesson from last week and explains the format for today.

Don shows that there are two things in the I Timothy and Titus passages about Shepherds, experiences and character. As you study those passages, look for those two things.
  • Experience 1 - The Husband of One Wife
  • Experience 2 - The Father of Believing Children
Bob talks about the characteristic of a man being able to change. That does not necessarily mean just the ability to stand up in front of an audience and deliver a prepared set of material. Teaching is when people pick up what you do because you have modeled the behavior. (Hebrews 13:7)

Ron talks about "guarding against false teaching" and "letting the Spirit guide." Acts 15 and 20 have examples of what this looks like. Letting the Spirit guide is about being able to make judgments and discern what is best.
Lanar specifically talks about James 5:14-16. Beside physical healing the passage talks about spiritual healing.

Daryl provides conclusive thoughts to wrap up the different thoughts.

Easter 2010

As is his custom for Easter, Don spoke and led communion thoughts. This year he preached 4 little sermonettes throughout the service. He and I decided that this format would not be conducive to recording.
