-brief message on the heart of discipleship which is "self sacrificial love and affection"  

-brief message on the heart of discipleship which is "self sacrificial love and affection"

: the appeal we make refers to the core components of the gospel which we are called to share with those who do not know Jesus  

: believers are called to boldly share/proclaim the gospel wherever they go, even in the midst of fierce opposition...  

God is pleased and glorified when His people are effective and fruitful in ministry...believers are to give their undiminished best efforts to the ministry assignments which they are given 

Theme: explanation of the doctrine "the lostness of man" and how the "heart of God" in Christ overcame/overcomes the lostness of man in our sin

Theme: when the gospel of Jesus truly penetrates a life or a locality...there is tremendous impact and life change for good

we will look extensively at the connection between thanksgiving, being thankful, giving thanks and prayer -intentionally incorporating thanksgiving into our praying may perhaps make us more effective pray-ers  

very similar to last week only this week is peace rather than grace -the incredible peace of God that transcends earthly distress is available to believers in Jesus Chriat

a biblical word study and treatise on "grace"

introducing the letters of Paul to the Thessalonians -major themes... -specific topics

we should be content with our relationship with God and what He gives us...not discontent...always seeking more of this worlds gain

water baptism 

applying thoughts on "Communion" to what God is doing in CCF at this time  

the closing verses of Ephesians give us a glimpse into the person and nature  of the Apostle Paul -brief wrap up of our series on Ephesians -opportunity for folks to share one thing they learned or gained from the series  

: Paul's instruction to pray takes on a missional/evengelistc focus

Prayer is not part of the battle armor...it is the battle strategy... -praying for all the Lord's people...other believers...one another is a vital, critical component of the battle strategy -without this we suffer tremendous casualties in spiritual warfare   

an attempt to better understand what Paul means by: "pray...with all kinds of prayers and requests...be alert and always keep on praying"  

We will try to explain what exactly Paul means by "all occasions"  

we will attempt to explain the biblical expression "pray in the Spirit"

: further teaching on prayer in relation to spiritual warfare

often times the context of a passage defines the nature of prayer referred to...the entire passage of Ephesians 6:10-12 is spiritual prayer...therefore this is fighting prayer...prayer that engages in spiritual battle  

: beginning a mini-series on prayer from Ephesians 6: -an introduction and review of general principles on biblical prayer before we look at the specific meaning in the context of spiritual warfare from Ephesians 6  

: celebrating Jesus and what He has done for all who will believe...

"The Armor of God...the sword of the Spirit"   Theme: the sword of the spirit is the word of God -we will develop the theme "prevailing in spiritual warfare with God's word"
