Pre-Worship

If we are Okay with our life in Christ—then there is nothing that church can really offer you to dig deeper and to change your relationship…

Now, if you are NOT Okay with your relationship in Christ— then the Church has so much to offer you so you can drill down and find an ongoing life in Christ.

LET’S WORSHIP LIKE THERE IS...

MORE TO EXPERIENCE,

MORE TO DISCOVER,

MORE TO LOVE,

MORE TO GIVE,

MORE OF GOD THAT WE WANT TO KNOW.

What we believe in will determine our future?

so people are trapped by their thoughts

believe they will never get a good education, never find a good job, a spouse or have what the Jones have.

When Harlan and Vianne got married they didn’t know how long they would live, but just keep hearing the beat—NOW IT HAS BEEN 69 YEARS!!!

MAJOR THOUGHT

Thoughts are crucial to our existence.

Thomas Edison failed 2774 times according to his records in making a sustainable filament that could be reproduced commercially and then reached a working design of an electric light bulb.

An important lesson to learn from Edison’s life is that Edison never let his shortcomings become obstacles in his path. The fact that he failed numerous times before inventing the bulb teaches us about the strength of his determination.

Believing in Jesus is crucial to our lives.

Because of His determination to go to the Cross for us, He has given us a Future that doesn’t stop here!

Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Father knows our failures and troubles, he says — not to focus on the that but to focus on that which can’t be seen.

2 Corinthians 4:17–18 NLT

17 For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

The first gasoline-fueled, four-stroke cycle engine was built in Germany in 1876.

In 1886, Carl Benz began the first commercial production of motor vehicles with internal combustion engines. In 1893, Charles Duryea and J. Frank, who were bicycle mechanics at the time, designed the first successful American gasoline automobile. Designed in Springfield Massachusetts, it would later be sold as the first American-made gas powered car in 1896.

Almost 140 year later Electric Cars are coming on the scene.

In a recent summit I attended this past week...

EV’s are here with more than 2.5 million battery and plug-in hybrid vehicles are in use all over the USA.

The beat continues to drive this industry after all these years, but for some we can’t really hear it’s sound— cause we are listening for it!

Wk 6. The Beat Goes On--but can you hear it or feel it?

(Hearing Jesus’ heartbeat and feeling His breath)

• Holy Spirit Imparted (The Kingdom isn’t just in our neighborhoods it is to be in us too)

Colossians 1:27 NLT

27 For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.

The beat is inside of you.

If we can’t hear it we are smothering it with the cares of this world.

We must be keepers of the BEAT...

Recognize that Jesus choose you to love others.

Position ourselves to be filled up with His Spirit.

Receive by faith Jesus’ words that we might move in power.

Praise Father for sending His Son to provide us with Life evermore.
