False Debate

Outreach or inner growth. Seekers or the Saved. Evangelize or Discipleship. There has been a debate raging for years now in the church world about the "proper" approach to the Sunday morning experience. Do we focus on Sunday mornings to reaching out to the lost or do we use Sunday morning service as a classroom of sorts to teach those who are already in faith to deepen their relationship and knowledge of God?He WILL Meet All Your Needs

"And my God WILL meet all your needs according to His glorious riches..." is a stunning promise to Christ followers that is found in Philippians chapter four. When you really look at the breadth of that promise it really becomes quite empowering. All the needs that I have God PROMISES to meet. And yet so few Christians seem to "venture out" into life with a conviction of that assurance and many never seem to experience the God's need meeting provision. Why?Leading From Conviction

Over the last couple of weeks we have talked about the leadership exhibited by Paul in Acts 27 in the midst of shipwrecking. Learning the character of biblical leadership is important for all of us who are Christ followers because whether we like it or not we are called to be leaders. We are called to lead others to the hope of Christ and when we fail to embrace that responsibility we will lead others away from Christ.
