SUNDAY Snapshot... (FEARLESS)

(1) WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID?

What if… FAITH not FEAR was your Reaction to every day THREATS in your life?

Could you imagine your life without FEAR?

The Bible says to "FEAR NOT" 365 times! (Coincidence!?)

Matthew 8:26... WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID?

-Getting on board with Christ can mean getting soaked with Christ!

IT’S NOT THE ABSENCE OF STORMS THAT SETS US APART – IT’S WHOM WE DISCOVER IN THE STORM – THAT ALLOWS US TO LIVE FEAR… LESS!

FEAR CORRODES OUR CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S GOODNESS!

FEAR creates a form of Spiritual Amnesia! (It dulls our Miracle Memory!)

When FEAR shapes your lives – SAFETY becomes your (little g) god!

WORSHIP OF SAFETY EMASCULATES GREATNESS!

FEAR MAY FILL YOUR WORLD BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO FILL YOUR HEARTS!

Look what Jesus did after His question of 'WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID?" (Mt 8:26b - HE WINS & so can YOU!)

See you Sunday @ COC as we kick off this NEW SERIES!!

(4) HERE AM I - SEND ME!

WHAT IF you were a non-Christian…

and Christians treated you the way you treat non-Christians?

Have you FORGOTTEN what is was like to be LOST?

If you have... REMIND yourself fast! (1 Cor 1:26-31 & Eph 2:1-5)

Life is too short and Hell is too hot for us to continue playing around with what we are CALLED to do - to CARE for the LOST!

Calling to Care - it's simple...

FOUND People FIND People!

WHO is it that you need to SHARE CHRIST with this week?

You are equipped in your Calling to Care!

The Church in Acts had WHAT? The same thing you do...

THE REALITY OF A DEAD MAN WHO CAME BACK

TO LIFE!

When you fulfill your Calling to Care...

Don't give 'em HELL - give 'em HOPE!

(They have enough HELL in their lives already! Give 'em HOPE!)

How's the CARING in your CALLING of GOING?

1 Pt 2:20-21... to this you were CALLED (Kaleo)...

Face the facts - it's gonna COST you to CARE!

See ya Sunday at COC!!

1 Pt 2:20-21 "But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it - this is commendable before God. To this you were CALLED (Kaleo)..."

Big Idea...

How's the CARING in your CALLING - GOING?

CARING will cost you something!

Do you CARE that unsaved people will spend eternity apart from Christ in hell? Your CALLING is to CARE!

As a 'Follower of The Way'... It's your JOB - It's your MINISTRY - it's your RESPONSIBILITY to RESPOND to your CALL and CARE for the LOST!

The CHURCH that does not have a ‘HEART FOR THE LOST’ - DOES NOT have the ‘HEART OF JESUS’! (Luke 19:10)

If I'm not focused on proclaiming the Gospel to a world that doesn't know Jesus… then I'm NOT fulfilling HIS primary CALLING on my life!

Christianity is NOT "I prayed a prayer & told God I didn’t want to go to hell!'

Christianity is COMPLETE SURRENDER to JESUS!! (Gal2:20)

Don't get consumed w/ things that don't FREAKING MATTER!!

Here’s what matters… LOST PEOPLE NEED JESUS!

And you're CALLED to CARE about that!

Don't miss COC this week as we start our OUTREACH EMPHASIS Series - KALEO!
