The Church of Eleven22

We love our neighbor because Jesus, like the Good Samaritan, loved us.

We are to be stewards of our bodies and health, not for our own comfort or benefit, but so that we can pour our lives out for the gospel. Obsession with the physical is idolatry. Neglect of the physical is sacrilege.

Our enemy, the Devil, is the Father of Lies. Do not believe the whispers, but stand on the truth of the word of God. “It is written…”

The shiny things of this world will never satisfy our empty souls. “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” – Jim Elliot

In order for the church to be ONE so that the world knows we are His disciples, we must forgive one another.

God has set apart a PEOPLE for a PURPOSE.

The gospel doesn’t only alter our eternal trajectory, but meets us in the deepest darkest places of the soul.

We are NEVER meant to be a cul-de-sac of God’s grace. We are meant to be a conduit of the gospel to THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

We are NEVER meant to be a cul-de-sac of God’s grace. We are meant to be a conduit of the gospel to THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

“Your faith has saved you. Go in PEACE.” – Jesus The religious knew Him as a teacher and scoffed. The wretched knew Him as Savior and wept.

Jesus came on a rescue mission to save the lost. There is no barrier that His grace cannot bridge.

Emotions are a gift from God given to us to navigate life. However, we are not ruled by emotions. We are ruled by Jesus.

Religion says that if you obey, then you will belong. The new covenant of grace (the gospel) says that “whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.”

The unique claim of the gospel is that through Jesus Christ, Holy God, built THE bridge to and for sinful man.

The only thing that can fully and finally satisfy the insatiable appetites of the human soul is the everlasting God that created it. His name is JESUS.

God’s perfect love casts out fear and produces faith.

God did not give you His power for you, but that through you the power of God’s love would be displayed in this world. You want to be great? Serve. You want to be first? Go last. You want to be promoted? Humble yourself. Action Step: Find a way to serve someone this week. Find the one thing no one wants to do – then do that.

How much do you trust God? Opportunity does not equal anointing. You cannot give me what the Lord has not, and you cannot keep me from what the Lord has. Click the 1 Samuel Resources tab for the full study journal, summary recap videos and more.

Jesus is the greater David. He stands in our place and puts to death once and for all our greatest giant, our own sin. Click the 1 Samuel Resources tab for the full study journal, summary recap videos and more.

God does not call the equipped, but HE equips the called. “For the Lord sees not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” Click the 1 Samuel Resources tab for the full study journal, summary recap videos and more.

We don’t come to Jesus on our own terms and conditions. We either surrender to the Lordship of Christ or reject Him. Negotiating is not an option. God will not be second. Click the 1 Samuel Resources tab for the full study journal, summary recap videos and more.
