Christ's followers always represent Him to the world—whether they want to or not. When we help build a kingdom that is truly in but not of this world, we help create the kind of true peace, and eternal joy that only Christ can offer. Sermon Outline Series: The Great Adventure Speaker: John Pryor

We can't just wait patiently; we must prepare for Christ's return by building His kingdom on earth. He will reward those who save up treasure in heaven by faithfully doing the things Jesus did—and taught and commanded us to do. Sermon Outline Series: The Great Adventure Speaker: John Pryor

While our hope is 100% in Christ, He sends us into to the world. Instead of criticizing nonbelievers or simply "raising awareness" about popular problems, believers are called to love as Christ loved: sharing others burdens, forgiving, keeping promises, and meeting tangible needs. Sermon Outline Series: The Great Adventure Speaker: John Pryor

God designed us to thrive within committed relationships with others who put Him first. All the symbolic, strategic relationships He created help us grow and live life well, getting closer to Him and blessing the world together. We cannot follow Jesus without loving others.

God designed each of us to thrive in a personal, ongoing, life- shaping relationship with Him. As we interact with Him in three primary ways, we learn to put our relationship with Him first—and to let Him define our other relationships. Sermon Outline Speaker: John Pryor Series: three

Healthy relationships follow the Designer's design. All the threes in creation and the scriptures point to His triune nature, His character and to one of His most fundamental strategies.

However we define or love or embrace a counterfeit of the real thing, we all crave it. Only Holy Spirit helps us connect with God, others, and even ourselves His way—and change the world in the process. Sermon Outline Series: LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT Speaker: John Pryor

We can all control ourselves far more than we usually do, but the Holy Spirit gives us the supernatural ability to accomplish God's will, regardless of how well we understand His plan or how we feel. Sermon Outline Series: LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT Speaker: John Pryor

All truly strong people are careful with others, so the Holy Spirit makes us supernaturally strong and gentle—protecting others and helping them grow to reach their full potential. Sermon Outline Series: LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT Speaker: John Pryor

True kindness focuses completely on someone else. All religions and benevolent belief systems value and practice kindness, but the Holy Spirit empowers it at a supernatural level. Sermon Outline Series: LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT Speaker: John Pryor

Biblical patience waits for a season with great intention. When we choose to keep hoping and working while we wait, we open the door for the Holy Spirit to move. Sermon Outline Speaker: John Pryor Series: LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT

The Spirit produces supernatural levels of the wholeness, belonging, and fulfillment we all crave. Absence of conflict and calm feelings are side effects of restoration, reconciliation, and a unified purpose.
