You shine the light when you share the Gospel.

Shine the Light Pt. 7We must shine the light of the Gospel to our friends & families.Romans 1:13-16Acts 18:6Acts 20:26-271 Corinthians 3:5-9Colossians 4:2-62 Timothy 2:24-26Proverbs 15:1Proverbs 25:15Proverbs 16:211 Peter 3:15We must shine the light of the Gospel to our friends & families.

In his message “Shining the Light is a Team Effort,” Pastor Glenn Meredith teaches that bringing people to Christ is never the work of one person but a shared effort of the whole body of believers. Using 1 Corinthians 3, he explains that some plant, some water, but only God gives the growth and each person involved shares in the reward. He compares evangelism to both farming and team sports, showing that every role in the church, from greeters to tech teams, plays a vital part in helping others experience God's love. Through prayer, giving, serving, and intentional relationships, believers become co-laborers in God's harvest, shining the light of Christ together as one unified team.

One of the most powerful ways to shine the light to your friends & family is by sharing your personal testimony.

The light of Jesus in us shines the brightest to those we are in relationships with.

Shine the Light Pt. 3If you will make yourself available, God will give you opportunities to shine the light.John 3:17-21John 4:34John 5:24John 5:30John 5:36John 6:38John 8:42John 12:44-46John 17:18John 20:21Exodus 3:10-14Exodus 4:1Exodus 4:10-13Isaiah 6:1-8If you will make yourself available, God will give you opportunities to shine the light.

The way we treat others & react under pressure should make others want to know more about Jesus.Matthew 5:14-15John 8:12Ephesians 2:8-9Ephesians 2:10Matthew 5:16Matthew 6:1-41 Corinthians 13:1-4 (CSB)1 Timothy 5:9-10Titus 3:81 Timothy 6:17-19Titus 2:9-10Philippians 2:14-151 Peter 2:12-15 

When darkness attacks, keep shining the light with gentleness and respect.John 3:19-211 John 3:11-13John 15:18-25Romans 12:17-211 Peter 3:91 Peter 3:14-152 Timothy 2:23-26Acts 5:40-411 Peter 4:12-16Matthew 5:10-12Psalm 139:16

Small groups are the disciple making strategy of the Holy Spirit for the church.

True growth happens in community! Chris shares how Christian fellowship isn't just nice—it's essential for spiritual growth.

The key to a peace-filled life is to intentionally focus your mind on God and to trust Him.John 14:27 (NLT)Isaiah 26: 3 (NLT)

Peace in your relationships brings peace to your life and offers compelling testimony to the world about Jesus.Romans 14:19Ephesians 4:3Hebrews 12:14John 17:20-23Galatians 3:26-28Ephesians 2:14-16Colossians 3:15Romans 12:18Luke 12:51-53John 3:19-21John 15:18-19 

God built a rhythm of life He wants us to follow to enable us to live a life of peace.John 14:27Genesis 2:1-3Isaiah 40:28Exodus 20:8-11Exodus 31:12-17Mark 2:23-28Mark 2:28Acts 20:71 Corinthians 16:2Matthew 11:28-30

The peace of God comes from trusting Him to handle your problems.

The world's peace cannot compare with the supernatural peace that Jesus offers. 

No matter what you've done, the Lord Jesus loves you anyway.

Because of the sacrifice of Jesus we can confidently draw near to God.

The Gospel is for all people, at all times, in all places.

Faith That Won't Give Up. Pt 5Hebrews 12:1-22 Corinthians 5:10Matthew 6:1-6Revelation 4:9-111 Corinthians 9:24-251 Corinthians 3:11-151 Corinthians 9:24-25Matthew 6:19-201 Timothy 6:17-192 Corinthians 4:17-18Luke 19:13-19Matthew 10:41-42Colossians 3:22-24The reward you can receive from Jesus one day should motivate you to run your race with a faith that won't give up.

Physical exercise strengthens the body, spiritual exercise strengthens faith.

Completing your race demands a continuous, active growth of your faith to build the necessary perseverance.

Faith That Won't Give Up Pt 2Hebrews 12:1-2The one who perseveres will one day be given great honor by our Lord Jesus Christ.

To finish the race God has set before you, your faith must continue to grow until it becomes a faith that will not quit. 

God wants you to be certain that He loves you, so He is constantly proving it to you. 

Prayer is one of our most powerful offensive weapons for advancing the Kingdom.

Living a life under the authority of Jesus brings freedom and protection from the enemy.

Jesus has given you the authority to resist the devil but you must exercise that authority.

The Christian life isn't about perfection, but about consistent progress in pursuing a deeper relationship with Jesus.

When evil happens, we respond by trusting in God and pointing others to Him.
