The Sunday Sessions

Our inward struggle leads to confusion, guilt and shame, compulsions and addictions, and discouragement and despair. But Jesus is God's rescue plan!

Jesus' fourth challenge is an invitation to be disciple-makers. Disciple-makers are spiritual parents, friends of God, and they face unique spiritual attacks.

The challenge to "Fish for People" is a challenge to be a Kingdom Worker. Being a Kingdom Worker is all about engaging in the work of the ministry.

From New Life to Disciple Makers, we all have a role in furthering the kingdom of God.

Jesus was intentional about engaging and reaching the lost. As we learn from Jesus to live like Jesus, God will use us to do the same.

Throughout his earthly ministry, Jesus gave four challenges to his disciples (come and see, follow me, fish for people, and go and bear fruit). These challenges help us take the next step in our walk with Christ and teach us how to make disciples like Jesus.

The Great Commission is an everyday commission given to every believer for every moment of his or her life. Loving God and loving people is the motive behind this everyday commission.

Motherhood is a sacred privilege and is one of the greatest avenues for the impact of the Gospel.

In a time when many fathers are absent, the Apostle Paul reminds us about where fathers should be. God has given fathers a specific role in the home.

We can leave the right kind of legacy by modeling and teaching a life of faith, by regularly affirming our child's value, and by praying that our children would accomplish God's purpose in their lives.

Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.

Love is not easily angered and keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth.

"The Gospel is only good news if it gets there in time." - Carl F. H. Henry

The characteristics of love that we're going to focus in on today say something positive by the use of a negative. Sometimes, for us to learn about what something is, we also need to learn about what it is not.

Love is built on two pillars that best define what it is. Those pillars are patience and kindness. All other characteristics of love are extensions of these two attributes.

God wants us to be intentional about strengthening our marriages by fighting for them.

Unity is an essential mark of all healthy churches.

Worship is more than just singing praises to God. Start your foundation of worship with this message on your life being worship to God.

God wants His people to be people of prayer. As people of prayer, we should look for opportunities to pray throughout the day. The Lord's Prayer is a great model for how we can do that!

For our own walk with Christ and for the health of our church, it's important to have a Biblical perspective on giving and generosity.

When we learn how to love one another as family in the church, God is glorified, the church is built up, and we give the world a front row sat to the grace and goodness of God.

God has created all of us with a need for community. When we learn to love one another as family in the church, God is glorified, the church is built up, and we give the world a front row seat to the grace and goodness of God.

The Church is a community unlike any other. We are formed by God's Word, we are always prepared to share God's Word, and we stand firm on God's Word.

James encourages us to patiently persevere in times of trial and trouble. Like the farmer, we're called to work hard in the present and wait for a spiritual harvest in the future. Like the prophets, we're called to keep witnessing to others, regardless of how difficult the circumstances may be. And, like Job, we wait for the Lord to fulfill His purpose in our lives.
