    Jul 8 2024

    God wants to give you His very best. He has a great plan for your life and that plan includes receiving the very best from His gracious hand.

    Main Points

    Babylon is on the march...

    • Observation #1: We are not at the mercy of a pagan culture.
    • Observation #2: The future of the world will be determined by who captures the next generation.
    • Observation #3: Protection of our children from our culture is impossible, but preparation of them is imperative.
    • Observation #4: Only a generation with biblical convictions and a winsome spirit can transform the Babylonian culture of our day.

    Daniel possessed two critical characteristics:

    1. Convictions = Refusing to compromise in spite of the cost. - Proverbs 13:20
    2. Courage = Refusing to conform even when you’re afraid. - Romans 4:20-21; Proverbs 27:17

    Daniel’s life reveals that getting God’s best is a “no – yes” proposition. - Romans 12:2

    • Truth, Not “Trying Harder,” is the Pathway to True Spirituality - John 8:31-32

  • Momentum - What is True Spirituality?, Part 2
    Jul 3 2024

    Tired of feeling like you’re just “going through the motions” spiritually? Wish you could experience God in a real, fresh new way? Chip explains what the Bible has to say about true, authentic spirituality and how you can begin to experience it.

    Main Points
    1. True Spirituality begins with an accurate picture of God.
    2. True Spirituality is built on the principle of relationship.
    3. Romans 12 provides us with a relational, grace-based pathway of True Spirituality.

    5 Key Relationships - r12 Biblical Responses:

    1. Relationship with God: Surrender to God - Romans 12:1
    2. Relationship with the world: Separate from the world’s values - Romans 12:2
    3. Relationship with yourself: Sober in self-assessment - Romans 12:3-8
    4. Relationship with believers: Serving in love - Romans 12:9-13
    5. Relationship with nonbelievers: Supernaturally responding to evil with good - Romans 12:14-21

    Warning – r12 is not a “try hard” moral code to live up to but a faith response to what God has already done for us.

    A Life-Changing Invitation

    1. Would you like to receive all your Heavenly Father has prepared for you?
    2. Would you like to experience true spirituality; the love and freedom Christ purchased for you?
    3. Are you willing to commit the next 6 weeks and join us on the r12 journey?

  • The B.I.O Lifestyle - Being on Mission 24/7
    Jun 28 2024

    Are you bogged down by the dos and don’ts of the Christian life? Have you ever thought, is there an easier way to follow Jesus? In this program, we will wrap up our series, The B.I.O Lifestyle, by learning – that burdened feeling is not what Jesus desires for us. Don’t miss Chip and our Executive Vice President, Andrew Accardy, discussing what it means to be ‘on mission’ for Jesus. Learn how that biblical perspective can lead you on a supernatural, life-giving adventure with Jesus.

    Main Points
    1. BIO Operating System: Think of it like this: Before God, In Community, On Mission. It's about connecting with God, being part of a community, and living a purposeful life.
    2. Being on Mission: Being on a mission isn't just about going on trips or doing church stuff. It's about having a mindset of helping others every day, like Jesus did.
    3. Discovering Your Mission: Each person has a unique role in God's plan. It's like finding your special purpose and using your talents to make a difference.
    4. Restoring Christian Reputation: Sometime the Church is known more for what it's against than what it's for. Chip acknowledge the need to restore the reputation of Christians by living out their faith authentically, with love and compassion.
    5. Sharing Your Faith: It can be scary, but sharing your faith is important. Start by looking for opportunities, building friendships, and sharing your own story of faith.
    6. Practical Steps for Sharing: Keep it simple. Look for needs, make friends, share meals, and tell your story. It's about being real and letting God work through you.
    7. Living the BIO Lifestyle: Every day, check in with yourself. Are you spending time with God, connecting with others, and making a positive difference? That's what it's all about.
