Series: Being A Good Steward
Nov. 10 – Sermon 51 – The Good Steward – Luke 16:2
We are called to be stewards. A steward is one who does not own what he/she has but is one who cares for what the Master has entrusted to him/her. How are you doing with what God has given you of His resources? You do know there is an accounting for all stewards don’t you?
Nov. 17 – It Takes A Village – 2 Corinthians 8:1-7
The work of the Kingdom is not what one person does but what we all do together. The church at Corinth knew that individually the task and the need before them was to big for anyone to make a real difference. It took ALL of them. You are a part of the VILLAGE. Together we can do the great things of God
Nov. 24 – What A Difference ONE can Make – John 6:1-13
I am ONE but I am ONE. One person purposed in their heart with the passion of God can change the world. One gift made out of gratitude multiplies when placed in the Savior’s hands. One small amount can feed the world. What is your part in making a difference?
“Never dream of forcing men into the ways of God. Think yourself, and let think. Use no constraint in matters of religion. Even those who are farthest out of the way never compel to come in by any other means than reason, truth, and love.”
~John Wesley (Sermon 37 “The Nature of Enthusiasm”).

Oct. 6 – Our Worship: Know God
As a disciple of Jesus our lives are centered in knowing who God is. That means we are involved in worship, both private and public. If you happen to miss worship does it make any difference to you? Do you find the time to be in God’s presence everyday? Let’s join together and get to Know God this week as we WORSHIP together.
Oct. 13 – Our Relationships – Love God and Others
To be a disciple is to know God and when we do we are loved. Having been loved we have to love God back and also God’s creation, Others. How is your love life? Being a disciple is being a lover. Loving in every way we can and to all we can. Let’s talk about our relationships this Sunday as we Love one another.
Oct. 20 – Our Walk – Grow In God
Being a disciple is a daily exercise. St. Paul says it means walking in faith. Its not enough to just come to Jesus and be saved. Once saved we must grow in that faith and learn to apply it in all of our daily situations. Let’s walk in faith.
Oct. 27 – Our Witness and Work – Share God and Serve God
Our witness is retelling what God has done for us. The world around us needs to hear some Good News. That Good News is your story in faith. Each of us has a story to tell. When was the last time we told it? Along with telling the story we must do the story. Christ’s work is now ours. We are called to work for the Kingdom and make Christ known in concrete ways. Let’s talk about how each of us can get involved.
