This is What I get out of the series at my church!

A Series of: Because of You

Week One: Beacause of You!

* To lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ.

So we have been greatly encouraged in the midst of our troubles and suffering, dear brothers and sisters, because you have remained strong in your faith. It gives us new life to know that you are standing firm in the Lord. how we thank God for you! Because of you we have great joy as we enter god's presence. 1 Thessalonians 3:7-9

Our Church Values

• We will do anything short of SIN to reach people who don't know Christ. To reach people no one is reaching, we'll have to DO things no one is doing.
• We will lead the way with irrational generosity. We truly believe it is more blessed to GIVE than to RECEIVE.
• We are faith-filled, big thinking, bet-the-farm risk takers. We'll never insult God with SMALL thinking and SAFE living.
• We are spiritual contributors not spiritual consumers. The church does not exist for US. We are the CHURCH and we exist for the world.

Week Two of: Because of You!

How we thank God for you! Because of you we have great joy as we enter God's presence. 1 Thessalonians 3:9

You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 2 Corinthians 9:11-13

This series really opened up my heart and as I have been going and listening to all the series and really getting to know the Lord and getting the spirits and praising them has gotten me feeling good about myself & raising my girls. My praising and learning about the lord and being spiritual is going to keep coming and i'm going to keep learning on all the other series that our coming up in the future.
