Sermon Notes

In a divided world, the most powerful way to share the Gospel is through your own story. Evangelism isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about showing how Christ has changed your life. With grace, humility, and honesty, your testimony can open hearts in ways arguments never will. Let your life speak, and trust God to use your story to reveal His love and truth.

When Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan, He wasn’t just offering a moral lesson—He was redefining what it means to love our neighbor. True compassion means crossing boundaries, being moved by mercy, and taking action, even when it’s inconvenient. In a world full of need, Jesus calls us to “go and do likewise.” Are we willing to stop, see, and serve like the Samaritan?

Faith can be a game-changer—or it can get lost in the shuffle. Judges 2:10 shows a generation that completely forgot God, despite their parents witnessing epic miracles. Meanwhile, 2 Timothy 1:3-8 spotlights Timothy, whose faith was lit up by his grandma Lois, mom Eunice, and mentor Paul. The difference? Intentionality—real conversations, visible faith, and constant encouragement. We’re all part of this generational chain. The question is: Are we passing the torch or letting

Prayer is more than a quiet ritual—it’s a powerful weapon in life’s battles. In Ephesians and Colossians, Paul emphasizes prayer as a spiritual defense against unseen forces, urging believers to pray persistently and selflessly. He highlights the need for spiritual vigilance, reminding us that prayer connects us to divine resources far beyond our human limits. In moments of struggle, prayer isn’t just a plea—it’s a call to tap into God’s enduring strength and guidance.

What if your everyday life was part of something far greater than you imagined? In "The Mission", discover how Jesus’ final words are not just ancient commands but a present-day invitation into a life of purpose, power, and transformation. The mission begins exactly where you are — empowered by the Holy Spirit, crossing boundaries with love, and making disciples as you go. This isn’t just a call for the few; it's an adventure for all. Are you ready to say yes?

In Mark 16, three women find Jesus' tomb empty and are told, "He has risen!" The chapter ends mysteriously, with early manuscripts stopping at verse 8. Later verses describe Jesus' appearances and the Great Commission, transforming fear into bold faith. Mark's account invites us to move from doubt to belief, reminding us that the resurrection still changes lives today.
