ONE THING A new command I give you: Love Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. – 1 Corinthians 13:1-8a (NLT)
ONE THING: Your path, not intention, determines your destination! So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:18
ONE THING In what ways is God inviting you to be even more bold in your faith? “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.” -1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NIV)
ONE THING “… you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.” -1 Thessalonians 1:9b–10 (ESV)
ONE THING Know what you stand for and stand for what you know! Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. – 1 Corinthians 16:13
ONE THING The New Daniel Diet: Trust God in every circumstance – Honor God by taking a stand – Thank God for his favor. Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. – Ephesians 5:16
ONE THING When your day comes, let this be your victory speech… I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. – 2 Timothy 4:7
ONE THING “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” – John 13:34-35 (NLT)
ONE THING Live passionately here and now, but not for the here and now! Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. – Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)
Rejoice! He is here! Immanuel – God with us. We invite you to a special time of worship as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. Join us for one of two available Christmas Eve Service times. Services at 3:30 & 5pm
Thank you for joining us for this special Christmas Celebration Sunday!
ONE THING Remembering you are blessed leads to rest- Forgetting you are blessed leads to stress. Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. – Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)
ONE THING So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. -John 8:36 (NLT) In the gap between the victory of the cross and the promise of eternity, we wake every morning to a battlefield, confronted by evil. You must decide how you will respond on the battlefield: will you FREEZE as though you have no hope, or FLEE as though you have no courage, or will you FIGHT as one who is already free?
ONE THING Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. – 1 Corinthians 16:13
ONE THING When life is hard and it doesn't make sense, take comfort, knowing God's invisible (providential) hand is working in the background.
ONE THING Trust God's providence during uncertain times, knowing He acts for your good and His glory.
ONE THING “So don't worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. “So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today. - Matthew 6:31-34 (NLT)
ONE THING Without the Spirit, prayer is merely us talking to ourselves. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. – 1 Corinthians 2:10b-12
Walking in the Spirit John 16:12-16; John 14:15-27
ONE THING “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.” – Isaiah 6:5
ONE THING Do not grieve/quench the Spirit of God. Instead, make every effort to keep in step with the Spirit.

ONE THING If anyone boasts, “I love God,” and goes right on hating his brother or sister, thinking nothing of it, he is a liar. If he won't love the person he can see, how can he love the God he can't see? The command we have from Christ is blunt: Loving God includes loving people. You've got to love both. – Eugene Peterson
ONE THING Lavished – “sumptuously rich, elaborate or luxurious; to bestow something in generous or extravagant quantities upon.” In response to God's lavished love, consider your love for others – So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” – John 13:34-35 (NLT)

ONE THING The difference between hope and hopeless is in the fight! Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. – Ephesians 6:11
ONE THING Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. - 1 Corinthians 9:24-25

ONE THING Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God (omnipresence), the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding (omniscience) no one can fathom. He gives strength (omnipotence) to the weary and increases the power of the weak (omnibenevolence). – Isaiah 40:28-29 (NIV)
“Blessed is the one…. Praise the LORD!” The Psalms begin by showing us the life that is blessed by the Lord and end by calling us to praise the Lord. Athanasius said, “Most of Scripture speaks to us; the Psalms speak for us.” May God restore your soul as we work through this sermon series in these loving words of God, poetically penned by his people, the book of Psalms.
