We’ve all had nagging questions about God that have challenged our faith. Some of these questions are so difficult to deal with that many choose to reject God altogether. Even Christ’s followers can struggle with doubts that keep them ineffective in sharing their faith! This important series will give you both the courage to ask the tough questions of God and the confidence to believe that He’s big enough to answer all of them!

STAND-ALONE MESSAGE. In the face of ongoing
persecution and even execution, the
early church believed that prayer unlocked a power that overruled even their
most intimidating opponent. Prayer was a
first impulse, not a last resort. In
response, God did incredible miracles! With
Acts 12 as a backdrop, what would happen if we began to pray like the early
church did?

Listen as we attempt to answer these questions!

What if simply walking over and saying hello to someone could make a difference in their life forever? Effectively sharing your faith is not about methods and strategies, it’s about taking a genuine interest in others.

This series, based on Bill Hybel’s book, brings personal evangelism into the 21st century.

STAND-ALONE MESSAGE. If
you want to hit a target, you have to aim before you shoot. For many
churches, the focus is either on multiple targets and goals for
ministry (which diffuses the focus and confuses
the people), or they take their eyes off the target completely. In this
message, Pastor Dan talks about the target the church needs to be
aiming at: making disciples. Includes the reason we make disciples,
the command to make disciples, the promise of help in making disciples,
and the four common problems that make disciplemaking difficult.

STAND-ALONE MESSAGE. Most Christ-followers want to do the right thing. They try so hard to
have Christian marriages and to raise Christian kids to have Christian
friendships. Too often, however, so much of the work we do was never
part of our relational job description! As we interact with our spouse,
children or other important relationships in our lives, we find
ourselves focusing on wrong behavior, and then we set out to control
that behavior by pressuring them to change it. It's a bigger problem
than many of us realize. This message is about empowering our
relationships with the mindbending grace of God and learning to identify
the simple difference between God’s job and ours in relationships.
