I’m excited about our theme for this year of Rise Up.
Our theme scripture for the year is
We aren’t going to shrink back or fade away, we are going to rise up, stand firm and trust in God who answers us when we call.
We are going to need God help to fulfil this vision he has put on our hearts.
“To connect every generation of every community to Christ and to one another.”
We are Building communities; reaching communities
No matter what your 2018 looked like we all have been called by God to rise up.
There are so many scriptures that talk about us rising up, and standing firm for god.
There are so many in this room that for years and years have stood in the gap and met the needs and loved people.
I’m excited that there are some brand new or future leaders in this room as well.
We have a very diverse group in here.
Diverse geography, Diverse backgrounds, diverse experiences, diverse thoughts, diverse incomes, educations, diverse politics and the list goes one.
Yet we are brought together in community to reach communities.
Not because we have it all together but because we are all sinners that have been saved by God’s grace.
We have been brought here by the unifying love of Jesus and his redeeming work in our lives.
God is so good to us, this group would have never come together with Jesus.
Do something for me.
I want you to ponder for a moment about the people in this room and I want you to think about someone you are grateful for.
Some relationship in here that has helped you this year.
A person that has encouraged you.
Maybe a person that cried with you.
Maybe its a phone call that came at just the right time or hug that you didn’t even know you needed.
I want you to picture that person that gave you some joy this past year and say a quick prayer thanking God for them.
Isn’t it good to remember all the good that God has done and all the ways that he has blessed us??
It makes me smile.
Something else that brings me so much joy is thinking about all of you who serve.
It is amazing to see the way you have taken this call year after year to rise up and serve.
To have people into your home and to spend time loving and caring for God’s church.
I think about the souls saved.

The poor and needy served.
Summary: Why would Jesus have breakfast with Peter on the seashore?
And why would He ask Peter 3 times if he loved Him?
The meals served, the chips and salsa devoured.
The campus students mentored.
OPEN: About 25 years ago I went my parents up to have a vacation in Canada at a place called Rice Lake.
The teens encouraged and raised up and Baptizing their friends.
The singles that have faithfully loved God and have helped many of their friends get closer to God.
It was a great place.
Beautiful lake, rustic cabin, and there was the fishing.
Seeing the Church planted in Sante Fe an 4 disciples from Denver going there to help.
The special missions contribution.
You gave $50,000 more in 2018 than in 2017.
2018: $348K
2018: $348K
(I showed a picture of myself baiting my hook with a very unexcited look on my face)
and all the hearts that have been drawn closer to God.
God has used you in amazing ways.
We never want to miss seeing all the ways that God has used us.
All the good things he has done.
This is me fishing.
And yet there is a harsh reality that we are in a war and there are people hurting and dying who Don’t know Jesus… I don’t see the battle raging around me sometimes.
I can be focused good things, planning a meeting, have a discipleship time, writing a lesson.
And I forget that people are lost and dying around me, or I don’t see the person that is weak and this close to walking away from God.
I can be like this guy.
cell phone during a robbery video.
Do I look excited?
The video is funny especially given his lack or awareness.
It’s funny because it didn’t end poorly.
Nope, I don’t, do I?
The staff and elders spent sometime taking a hard look at the churches growth for the last few years.
I wanted to show you some of these trends.

You remember the part in the story of the disciples out fishing where they’ve been out on the lake all night long?

If anybody’s not gonna catch a fish… it’s me.

Frankly, it’s a lot more fun to fish if you’re actually catching fish.

I look at this and I feel like the guy standing there looking at his cell phone.
Did I miss what God was trying to show me?
(Picture of a much happier me holding a fairly good size fish)
Now I know in some of these situations, you as a leader did all that you could do.
I know you did a lot I know you tried, and yet people let.
I know situations where I look and see you as a leader doing more and carrying more that person who is struggling, that isn’t going to work.
I know some of you can speak like Paul with a clear conscience
He did all he could do.
He went after the lost sheep.
And At the same time there are situations that I know I could have done more to help people.
And I could have done more to get others involved and engaged.
Turn in your Bibles to .
I want to look at someone who was weak and struggling, who was really hurting and who needed to be brought back to God.
As you can see, I’m having a lot more fun now.
At the same time there are situations that I know we can do more.
to help people.

Hans Rasmussen / General
A few days before, Jesus has had a Passover meal with His disciples and we’re told that “when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.”
Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.”
And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.”
And they all said the same.
()
NIV
31 But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.”
And all the others said the same.
Well, maybe you remember the rest of that story.
Jesus was arrested.
