BE INOLVED, BE LIFTING UP CHRIST, BE AVAILABLE, BE PRAYERFUL, BE OPEN.

These are the five points that I desire our congregation to remember from this past week's sermon. These are the areas that Peter demonstrates for us in his personal effective ministry. If we are effective in our personal ministry we will be effective in our ministry as a church to the world around us.

I hope that the big picture was in view on Sunday morning. We are on the brink as a church of something new. There is excitement in the air. The Holy Spirit is moving among us and as a result people are being transformed, sharing their faith with the world, and others are coming to know the grace of Jesus Christ.

I am excited as a pastor to be a part of something bigger than myself. And I am excited that our church is willing to be a part of something bigger than the local body. We are about doing the work of the Kingdom. In order to do the work of the kingdom we must be involved, be lifting up Christ, be available, be prayerful and be open to change.

I hope that you were blessed by the Word of God this week.
