The Church of Eleven22

The Church of Eleven22 is a movement for all people to DISCOVER and deepen a relationship with Jesus. Have YOU Discovered a relationship with Jesus?

The Church of Eleven22 is a movement for ALL PEOPLE to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ. So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humi...

The Church of Eleven22 is A MOVEMENT for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ. “God did not start this movement for us to stop it.” – Deb Petersen (wife of the chairman of the Elder Board)

God LOVED so God GAVE. If we BELIEVE then we RECEIVE eternal life. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. – Jesus (Matthew 5:16)

As followers of Jesus, our lives are subject to a greater authority. We live our lives under the rule of Jesus. We do what he says. We see the world through his view. The way we know what he says and the way we see his view is through the Bible.

The Point: Apart from JESUS our lives, our families, and our country will fall APART. How do we respond? When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said “Repent,” he intended that the entire life of believers should be repentance. – Martin Luther

Religion is as dangerous as irreligion because both neglect the proper treatment of God’s Word and thus neglect the relationship offered by Jesus to us. The whole Bible points to a relationship with Jesus, not religious activity. RELIGION IS ROOTED IN MAN’S ATTEMPTED EFFORT TO REACH GOD. Relationship is rooted in God’s accomplished effort to redeem man.

If you are not ROOTED in the finished work of Jesus Christ, then you will surely be UPROOTED by the schemes of the enemy: the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life. “For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoeve...

God does not call the brave, BUT GIVES COURAGE TO THE CALLED.

The Church (and this world) needs men and women who are obedient to the call of God in their lives. Is it time for you to get off of the sidelines and get into the game?

THERE IS NO TESTIMONY WITHOUT A TEST. - IF dependence on God is the ultimate point then maybe weakness is our greatest asset. “Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” – C.S. Lewis “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecuti...

“When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, ‘Repent’ (Mt 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.” – Martin Luther (the 1st of 95 Theses)

Often times the storm IN YOU is greater than the storm that YOU ARE IN. Jesus can calm them both because HE has overcome our storms. 33 "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 If you worship something finite, it can’t help you in a storm. IT WILL ONLY SINK WITH YOU. We need an in...

You don’t have to continue to do the things you used to do because you are not the person you use to be. TAKE OFF THOSE GRAVE CLOTHES AND LIVE. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

DO YOU NEED A MIRACLE? Do not fear; only believe, fight through the crowd and pray. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

THERE IS NO SHAME IN YOUR PAST. In Christ, your past pain is a platform for God’s Glory. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. – Saul of Tarsus (aka the Apostle Paul)

“I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:24 “Humanity falls into two equal and opposite errors concerning the devil. Either they take him altogether too seriously or they do not take him seriously enough.” – C.S. LEWIS “You cannot cast out the flesh and you cannot disciple a demon.” – Robert Morris

One of the best ways to DEEPEN your relationship with Jesus is to help others DISCOVER theirs.

The Purpose of Jesus’ Miracle isn’t necessarily to show His RAW POWER but to point to His REDEMPTIVE PURPOSE.

Do you believe?

Will you build your life of the Rock of surrender to Jesus or the shifting sands of Self? Final Thought: “Give me all of you!!! I don’t want so much of your time, so much of your talents and money, and so much of your work. I want YOU!!! ALL OF YOU!! I have not come to torment or frustrate the natural man or woman, but to KILL IT! No half measures will do. I don’t want to only prune a branch here...
