Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but what does that mean?  In our world, peace is achieved by defeating others.  Jesus doesn’t bring peace by violence.  He bore violence to bring us peace.  Luke 7:36-50 & 19:41-44 & Matthew 10:34

Jesus welcomes all to come to him…regardless of clout or credentials.  Jesus is the Father you’ve always needed from Luke 18:15-17.

Advent calls us to wait, receive, and trust.  The Almighty God Overcomes Relative Problems from Mark 4:35-41

If Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor, how is that displayed in your life?  In Mark 1:21-28, Jesus has solutions that transforms the world’s complications.

Jesus is the Way or He is not from John 14:1-14.

Jesus calls us to a new life, and He lived that life as an example for us.  John 13 shows Jesus’ example of service by washing His disciples feet. 

Jesus provide that which lasts eternally and gives us eternal significance.  Everything in this world will eventually pass away, but Jesus will not.  John 6:26-42.

Jesus calls us to be born again, but what does that mean (John 3:1-21).  Human actions and efforts will produce human results.  Jesus invites us to a new life that is possible only though the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Jesus came to restore the broken.  We search for truth, but the Truth (Jesus) is already here.  If Jesus is real in your life, how has He changed you from John 1:1-5, 14-18.

The Trickle from the Temple Transforms the Tainted.  What started out as a small flow of water became transformative because it came from God in Ezekiel 47:1-12.

Obedience Overcomes Every Obstacle.  God calls us to be obedient, and He will take care of the results.  This frees us to know that success is not the goal.  We must not allow fears from preventing us from following Jesus.  Courage is acting despite fear from Judges 6:27,37,39; 7:2-8.

Eliminate Every Excuse.  We all have them, but God has chosen you and is sending you.  Gideon’s story (Judges 6) shows us that God is with us and is sending us for His purposes.

Jesus calls us to community and solitude.  When I do the deep work of spending time in solitude with Jesus, the Holy Spirit prepares me for the community Jesus calls us to in the Church…Romans 12:1-5.

God’s victory is only possible with God’s resources.  God has given us everything we need to win, and we fight from victory from Ephesians 6:10-24.

How does your life honor Jesus?  How can your life honor Jesus more?  We are called to honor Jesus in all circumstances.  In Ephesians 6:1-9, Paul challenges us to honor Jesus in all circumstances. 

Mutual Submission has no Suspicion.  In Ephesians 5, Paul tells wives to submit to their husbands and husbands to love their wives by laying their lives down for them. 

Paul tells us to walk in the light and expose the darkness.  This is a difficult and high calling that is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Ephesians 5:1-20

Don’t let darkness dim the light.  Jesus calls us to a new life.  Are you allowing things in your old life to influence your life with Jesus?  What work does Jesus still need to do in your life?  Ephesians 4:17-32.

Jesus calls us to unity, not uniformity.  Uniformity is about suppressing who I am to please others while Unity is about surrendering to the Holy Spirit and following Jesus. 

Limitless:  The limit of Jesus’ power in your life is dependent upon you. Do you believe in the limitless of Jesus? Ephesians 3:14-21

The Churches comes together to receive redemption from Jesus which empowers us to experience redemption as a community.  All followers of Jesus are called to make Him known in this world.  We can do this through plain faith that reveals the divine mystery from Ephesians 3:1-13.

Now is the time.  God doesn’t need your talents, abilities, or resources.  God simply requires your obedience.  What is the next step God is calling you to take?

Jesus can break down every barrier…if we let Him.  Ephesians 2:11-22

Are you living or dying in Jesus?  This is not about seeking an adrenaline thrill.  It is about being spiritually alive in Jesus.

The Redeemed have Riches and Responsibilities in Jesus.
