The Church of Eleven22

The gospel is for ALL PEOPLE. EVERYONE is invited. EVERYONE gets in the same way. The PRICE has already been paid.

The pursuit of happiness is the insatiable attempt to control your circumstances because happiness is dependent on everchanging happenings. Joy is found in the everlasting Jesus.

Who has God called you to bring the message of good news to this Christmas season? How am I to be a Messenger? 1.Share an invitation. John 1:43-49 2.Share the gospel. 1 Corinthians 15:1-3; John 3:16 3.Share your Story. John 9 4.Share a little more life. John 11:1-44

The person of Jesus overcomes the power of fear.

We BRING to God our FIRST and BEST because God FIRST loved us by giving His FIRST and BEST in Christ.

What if in God’s economy, success is not measured by what you do, but in who you raise?

Because of God’s relentless generosity toward us, may we leverage all that He has given us to reach ONE more for the glory of God.

In the body of Christ (the church), EVERYBODY counts. We are ONE church with many members to the glory of the ONE name that is above every name.

When we get a vision of the ONE true God, then we must respond with our ONE and only life.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, - Ephesians 5:25 See 1 Corinthians 13:4-11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. - 1 Corinthians 13:11 Action Steps: 1. Say thank you 2. Confess and repent 3. Love your wife. Provide. Protect. Pursue.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones. - Proverbs 12:4 You will either be a CROWN or CANCER to your household. Actions Steps: 1.Give thanks 2.Confess and repent 3.Encourage your husband

God loved so God gave. If you believe, then you receive eternal life.

God’s sovereign purpose for all of creation is to glorify Himself by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as He crushes Satan underneath our feet through the power of the gospel. Amen.

A life on mission in Christ is a life worth honoring.

A life well lived is not measured by accumulation or achievement, but by pouring yourself out for the glory of God on the mission of God by the power of God.

The gospel compels me to sacrifice myself for you to the Glory of God, not justify myself for me and my own glory. "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; and in all things, charity." - John Wesley (Maybe…there is an ongoing internet battle over who said it first…how ironic.)

Love rules over all rules and regulations. Jesus tells us the greatest commandment is to love God and love people.

20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” Matthew 22:20-21

A life offered to the Lord as a living sacrifice is a life marked by loving one another. The gospel calls us to treat others as Christ has treated us.

Although we are not saved by the church, we are saved into the church family. The body needs you and you need the body.

To be loved by God is to be given the reward that is obedience to God. We don’t obey to get a reward—though there will be plenty—obedience is the reward.
