Transcript
We are in our third and final week of what are our core values. All of our core values can be be found under three main word. those three word are in in vision/mission statement. that comes from Matthew 28. 16-20
The eleven disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them.
When they saw him, they worshiped, but some doubted.
Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Why is it important to serve this community?
This is way we are here to make an impact to serve in all that is here and to those that are coming by 2024. We have the opportunity to do great things. If we lesson to God.
How then do we serve?
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
before we look at serves I want to point out one thing for this verse and the verse we read earlier.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Part of our core that is very import is the belief in the Holy Trinity.
What is the Trinity?
I want to take just a minute to explain what the Holy Trinity is. Next week we will be starting a series on each one and talk more in depth. There is only one God. He chose to show himself in three different ways to us.
God the Father
Jesus
Holy Spirit
we will talk more about this next couple of weeks. We serve a great God.
How can you serve?
It all start with you first before anything else you have to believe in Jesus and what he did for you on the cross. it start with your faith if you not sure about this morning please come and talk with me after the service.
We can plan all the serves project we want but if we dont do this next core values its all for nothing.
Share your faith
share with other what Christ has done for you. Another word for this is Evangelism Churches sometimes complicated with words that many people don’t understand.
Evangelism is sharing your faith with those around you.
I know this can be hard. I have been there before. I don’t want to share because i afraid of what others will think. You might be there too. you might be scared of rejection. But you don’t have to be. God is were all the comforted comes from
There is some great tools out there that can help. It all starts with just a conversation about everyday life. Then God can open up the Door through that for you to be able to share what He has done for you.
Since we moved its gotten a little easier for me. All I have to do is open my mouth and say one word. And everyone knows that Im not from here. Then the question comes. Where are you form? Why here? Then I can share how God called me up here to work for him.
Are you willing to share?
are you willing to get past the fear? are you willing to say God use me?
Are you willing to serve?
Serve- Let everyone see your light!
Do you know what it means to let your light shine?
Are you a christ follower this morning?
Have you put your full trust in Christ?
Is he the Lord of your life?
