Not Your Mama’s Bible Study
Wednesday, 6pm: "Not Your Mama’s Bible Study" The Christmas Experience with Kyle Idleman.

The Christmas Experience examines the Christmas story in detail, helping groups (and families) prepare for the Christmas season. Each episode will focus on how God chose each individual in the Christmas story for a specific purpose.

Those participating in The Christmas Experience study will be able to find themselves in the Christmas story, as they learn that what happened then changes everything now.

Children are welcome and child care is provided. Everyone is welcome and please, bring a friend or two or three…

Text to Tithe: Due to a number of requests for a more "modern" way to tithe, Text to Tithe has been created. It’s safe, fast, and secure. Just text the word, "give" to (786) 288-0839 and follow the link. Thanks!

PRAYER: Is Prayer Important?

The way of prayer is truly the way of life. Let us give ourselves to prayer! Jesus prayed much even though He was God’s only begotten Son from eternity past.

Through His words and His actions Jesus tells us how import prayer is.

“Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” Mark 1:35.

“You do not have because you do not ask.” James 4:2.

“Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:24

Prayer Partners are available at the front of the worship area after today’s service.

SERMON NOTES: 12-1-2019- -Pastor Jeremy Foster.

The Best Life: A Life That Lives On.

Each day, we have the opportunity to live out our purpose by leaving a legacy. Learn more about how YOUR life can live on.

Ephesians 4:1 New International Version (NIV)

Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ

4 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

There is no lasting fulfillment in worldly accomplishments.

There is no happiness living the way the world lives.

Your Legacy is where your life lives on.

How do I live the right legacy?

Romans 14:10-12 New International Version (NIV)

10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

11 It is written:

 ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’

12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.

Two questions will be asked: 1. What did you do with my Son Jesus?

Matthew 25:41 New International Version (NIV)

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

We love the love of Jesus but not the Justice.

Revelation 20:11-12 New International Version (NIV)

The Judgment of the Dead

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

Second question: 2. What did you do with what I gave you?

2 Corinthians 5:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

 

 

Revelation 22:12 New International Version (NIV)

12 “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.

 

1 Corinthians 3:9-15 New International Version (NIV)

9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.

11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,

13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.

14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.

15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

The right answer is: I gave my life away.

1. I will intentionally give what I have.

2. I will intentionally serve others.

3. I will intentionally share Christ with others.

FIND YOUR WHY?
