Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10; Mark 12:28-34; Matthew 28:18-20; John 15:16Bottom line: God created us to do good works which he prepared in advance for us to do.SERMON OUTLINEDISCUSSION QUESTIONSNOTESMAIN REFERENCES USEDSERMON OUTLINEIntroductionPeople should KNOW your church is in the community.They should BE GLAD your church is in the community.And they should BE BETTER because your church is in the community.-Dave Adamson, MetaChurchBottom line: God saved us to do the good works that prepared in advance for us to do.Why did God create us? Ephesians 2:1-10To love and know and be loved and known To bless others through good works. What kind of good works?Good works done in uniqueness.We all have a unique S.H.A.P.E.Spiritual giftsHeart and passionsAbilities and talentsPersonalityExperiences in lifeBut we all are part of one body--the body of Christ.Good works done in unity.We all are part of the same body or family. We all became family the same way--by the grace and mercy of God (Eph 2)We've all been prayed for by Jesus to do good works in unity (John 17)Good works out of love (Mark 12:28-34) "Great Commandment"Love God, love people - It's over our front doors for all to seeWhat's the best way to do that?Great CommissionGo and make disciples...(Matt 28:18-20)Bullseye--fruitfulness (John 15:16)How does our local church fit into all of this?Our church exists to help each of us become the best neighbors ever where we live, work, learn and play so that every man, woman and child in those places has multiple opportunities to hear, see and respond to the good news.This is our good work. This is where it happens.Our church does this in two ways:We equip each other to do this where we live, work, learn and play.We model this by doing some of this together, even as we teach the what, how and why.Examples:The Shirzads: We helped Lutheran Services "Welcome" a refugee family a year and a half ago. We housed themWe fed themWe helped them get their legal benefitsWe taught them ESLWe helped them get drivers licenses and a jobWe became friends.This was probably too big for any one family in our church to do. But together we were able to do it. This not only showed us how to do it, but it equipped us to know how to do it better. Not to mention the joy it was to do. Gloo: We trained a team of people to respond to requests for prayer online. Team members prayed for these requests and in some cases began conversations that led to in-person encounters. Because most of these are now people from the Charleston area, we were also able to invite some to worship with us. As a result, some took us up on it and are reconnecting to the Lord through our local church. Our people were already praying for others in person and online. But we expanded that to people we've never met. As a church, we still do this. But each of us can pray for someone online that we have never met. We could pray for 1 person a day online simply by interacting through social media. As a result of the praying for hundreds online for the past 3 years, we will start our first online bible study dedicated to them Sunday night at 6:30. Homeless: We helped a young, unmarried couple that was homeless and living out of their car along with their puppy. We helped them with a campsite at the KOA, get food and car repairs, and map out a plan to move forward. He has a better job now than he did. One of our families gave the puppy a good home relieving them of the burden of caring for it. And they are doing well.We have multiple families who have or are fostering caring for children. We have multiple families who have adopted children from this country and from others. These children have a much brighter future than they did. Why did God create us? To do good works. What good works? The ones he created in advance for us to do? The ones that lead people from death to life through Christ Jesus.Am I doing this? Am I doing what God created me to do? On purpose for a purpose?One of the responsibilities of your church leaders is to discern how to equip, encourage, and empower our church to do good works--individually, as families and as a church family. These conversations are always happening. What's next for Grace? Here are some things that we are currently zeroing in on:Praying like it all depends on God. (Starting tonight at 6:30)Starting more Friends & Family groups next spring."Welcoming" another refugee family. But this time through World Relief.Unofficially "adopting" a mom-to-be who elected to keep her baby instead of aborting. We would pick up where the pregnancy center leaves off. We would help needy moms who choose this practically for up to a year.We want to double-down on knowing and loving our 8 closest neighbors by name; prayer-care-shareWe want to do identify a circle of influence similar to that around our church campus in Ladson. This means we'd identify a 1-5 mile radius and would take responsibility for lostness in that area. Our mission to that area would be to saturate it with the good news so that every man, woman, and child would have multiple opportunities to hear, see and respond to the gospel. This would be accomplished in many ways including:Local ministry projects in the schools; especially tutoring grades 1-3 to read and do math wellESL in homes and/or in our buildingPrayer walking neighborhoodsServing local businessesSharing the good news in neighborhoods and public spacesLooking for ways to bless the poorChampioning life at all stagesWorking towards racial reconciliationTeaching a biblical sexual ethicBeing peacemakersSports ministryCSU/college ministryWe will continue to encourage and help families foster children.We will continue to encourage and help families adopt children.Continue to champion biblical literacy and training up our children and adults in disciple-making. Discipleship Pathways are in our future.Invest in strengthening marriages in and outside of the church through conferences, sermons, and mentoring couplesWe will continue to flesh out the great commission around the corner and around the world focusing on places like Uganda, Pakistan & Curacao; upcoming trips to both on the horizonWe will continue to reach out to the Charleston area through our online tools as well. The Charleston area will top 1 million people by 2030.Why did God create us? To do good works. I call them God-works. Because these are good works that HE prepared in advance for us to do in light of Ephesians 2, Mark 12, and Matthew 28.ConclusionBottom line: God saved us to do the good works which he prepared in advance for us to do.How can I get started today?By asking at least one person a day, how can I pray for you today? And then praying for them (and with them if led).“How can I pray for you today? [pause] May I pray for you right now?”3 of 8 billion say they are Christians. What about the other 5?https://twitter.com/visualcap/status/1647012029159309313?s=12&t=idl32xYvZ1Ibm1ALWyhYlgAt the beginning we said that People should know your church is in the community.They should be glad your church is in the community.And they should be better because your church is in the community.-Dave AdamsonI would add thatPeople should know you're in the neighborhood.They should be glad you're in the neighborhood.They should be better because you're in the neighborhood. How can I pray for you today? This is the way.PrayDISCUSSION QUESTIONSDiscovery Bible Study process:Retell the story in your own words.Discovery the storyWhat does this story tell me about God?What does this story tell me about people?If this is really God's word, what changes would I have to make in my life?Who am I going to tell about this?Final Questions (optional or in place of above)What is God saying to you right now?

Join Brittany Ladson, DO, and host Kyle Duke, MD, for some ToxTalk fun, talking about the differences between and the risks and dangers of tetrahydrocannabinol, Delta-9 THC, and Delta-8 THC. Be sure to check out Dr. Ladson's article in EM Resident for a deeper dive.

Last month, Jonathan Ladson, also known as Fogell Mcloving, ran the entire 91 miles of the DC area Beltway in just under 18 hours which beat the previous fastest known time (FKT) set by Michael Wardian. If that wasn't enough, just in 2023, Fogell set a 2:36 marathon PR at Boston, followed by a fourth-place finish at Big Sur two weeks later, and a stellar performance at the Comrades Marathon while fundraising for World Vision. While Fogell's talents are impressive, his joyful and transparent approach to his training are inspiring. Fogell shares how he finds joy and motivation, even at 4:00 am, and why we should all focus less on our performances and more on our experiences. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed talking with Fogell! Fogell can be found on Strava (he's a great follow), Instagram, and Facebook under the name Fogell Mcloving.
