SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (There’s A Place For Everyone 1)

THERE’S A PLACE FOR EVERYONE… (1) WHO IS THE CHURCH FOR?

CELEBRATORS…

It doesn’t matter WHO you ARE… WHAT you BELIEVE… or WHAT you’ve DONE… THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU IN THE LOCAL CHURCH! It’s not a BUILDING… but rather a MOVEMENT of people FOLLOWING a Loving God and SERVING Each Other! We’re taking a closer look at the Local Church these next two weeks at COC – preparing ourselves and our Church for an Incredible Resurrection Sunday on April 20^th! I personally want to invite you to come see the SPOT carved out just for YOU… here at COC! Please… don’t miss this short little series… take some time and join us as we discover that… THERE’S A PLACE FOR EVERYONE!

Below is a sneak-peak of this week’s message… (1) Who Is The Church For?

The Gravitational Pull of every Local Church will always lean towards INSIDERS!

But the last I checked… (John 3:16) “God so loved the... WORLD!”

Acts 15:1-35… The First Church Business Meeting!

THE PROBLEM… WHO IS THE CHURCH FOR? (Interesting Conclusions…)

Who Is The Church For? (James' Conclusions/Acts 15:19) “It is my judgment… We should not make it DIFFICULT for those wanting to turn God!”

Is the Church you’re attending… making it DIFFICULT or EASY for those wanting to turn to God? According to Acts 15… the Church is for Insiders AND Outsiders!

Acts 15… Who Is The Church For? – The ‘Marching Orders’ for any Local Church… Make it "EASY" for those who are wanting to turn to God!

Hey Celebrators… WHO have you INVITED to EASTER Services?

Don't waste anymore time - make it "EASY" for them and INVITE/BRING them TODAY!

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9a/10:45a)

SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (How To Be Rich 4)

HOW TO BE RICH… (4) DIVERSIFY

CELEBRATORS…

HOW TO BE RICH is not just about MONEY… It’s about what to DO with what we HAVE! It’s all about what we do with our TIME… TALENTS… and TREASURES! Jesus could not have been clearer Celebrators! It’s not what you HAVE that matters… It’s what you DO with what you HAVE that will count FOR YOU or AGAINST YOU in the Kingdom of Heaven! This Series is designed to teach us ALL how we can become better at MANAGEMENT and forget altogether about the OWNERSHIP idea! I’m telling you Celebrators… this is a series that has the potential to CHANGE YOUR LIFE! Whatever you do… make sure you make it a PRIORITY to attend COC these next few weeks… it’s going to be EPIC!

Below is a sneak-peak of this week’s message… (4) Diversify

1 Timothy 6:17a… Command those who are RICH (That’s Us!) in the… (Key Words) "PRESENT WORLD…" - Paul suggests this idea with those two words… “THERE'S MORE TO THIS LIFE THAN THIS LIFE!? (Are you getting the Bigger Picture about your Wealth now?)

1 Timothy 6:19… In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the COMING AGE! (Get ETERNALLY FOCUSED with your Wealth!)

If you will view your WEALTH through the LENS OF ETERNITY… you will LOSE YOUR GRIP ON IT… and IT WILL LOSE ITS GRIP ON YOU!

How To Be Rich… Don't fall for the ASSUMPTION that EVERYTHING is for your CONSUMPTION!

How To Be Rich… (In Eternity…)

We don't get CREDIT for what we LEAVE!

We only get CREDIT for what we GIVE!

How To Be Rich Towards God…

Figure out whether you are a 3S Giver… Spontaneously/Sporadically/Sparingly?

Or are you a 3P Giver… Priority/Percentage/Progressive…?

(Please Note… Only one counts in Eternity!)

Few ways that WE CAN BE RICH here at COC…

1. The Local Church

2. PowerPackCopa

3. Harvest India

HOW will you make an IMPACT? (Let’s Do This Celebrators!)

See You Sunday Celebrators… (9a/10:45a)
