SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (Found People ~ Find People - 1)

Do you find it difficult to SHARE YOUR FAITH with those around you? How BOLD are you when it comes to SHARING YOUR FAITH? Many Christians today sometimes tend to think that SHARING THEIR FAITH is just a SUGGESTION… however the Bible actually COMMANDS US to be WITNESSES! We’re gonna go on a Two-Week Journey here at COC about SHARING OUR FAITH… where in the First Week we’ll share with you HOW to SHARE YOUR FAITH effectively… and then during the Second Week we’ll share with you WHY… SHARING YOUR FAITH is so important to your FOLLOWING JESUS! Don’t… Miss… It!!

Sunday Snapshot… (Wk1) HOW DO I SHARE MY FAITH?

The King’s Mission is for US is to GO and DUPLICATE!

The Gospel Message of Jesus Plus Nothing… DUPLICATES! (Are You Duplicating?)

-We should have FANS and FOES… because of CHRIST!

THE CHURCH… is a REFLECTION of the HEART OF JESUS!

I/WE exist to GIVE EVERYTHING WE HAVE to FINDING the LOST!

LOST PEOPLE… MATTER eternally TO GOD!

LOST PEOPLE… Deserve our ­ALL OUT SEARCH!

The CHURCH is God’s ONLY PLAN for WORLD EVANGELIZATION!

(In other words… The CHURCH is the WORLD’S ONLY HOPE!)

We will never meet a person who does not NEED… WHAT God has to OFFER in JESUS CHRIST!

We will never come across any individual… WHO is NOT the OBJECT of GOD’S GREATEST LOVE and CONCERN!

SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (What’s The Difference? - 6)

Have you ever wondered… WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? between New Testament Christianity and other faith’s like Mormonism… Catholicism… Islam…. New Age Spiritualism… and Jehovah’s Witness? With all the varying faiths around us… WHAT are we really to BELIEVE? What do these other RELIGIONS really TEACH? WHY do I BELIEVE… WHAT I BELIEVE? Well… In this New Series here at Church of Celebration… we’ll examine WHY we can BELIEVE the BIBLE without a shadow of doubt… and WHAT these Other Religions really teach… and most importantly HOW to TALK TO PEOPLE of OTHER FAITHS with CONFIDENCE in THE GOSPEL! Don’t Miss Our LAST WEEK… As we talk about the DIFFERENCES between NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANITY and JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES…

Sunday Snapshot… (Wk6) JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES

The Theme of Galatians... JESUS PLUS NOTHING! (That’s also THE GOSPEL!)

-RELIGION says that Salvation is based on what I DO or DON'T DO!

-THE GOSPEL says that Salvation is based on what JESUS HAS ALREADY DONE!

Galatians 6:16... PEACE and MERCY to all who follow this rule - to the Israel of God.

-Is PEACE and MERCY upon YOU… Today?

-When you think about GOD... Are your thoughts in the realm of PEACE or FEAR?

JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES vs. THE GOSPEL… DIFFERENT FOUNDATION!

-We believe in JESUS and THE BIBLE!

-And through HIM ALONE we have HOPE for ETERNITY!

JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES vs. THE GOSPEL… DIFFERENT THEOLOGY!

-We believe that Jesus IS God and also in His Physical Resurrection!

-JESUS being GOD is FOUNDATIONAL to the Christian Faith! (GOD in a BOD)

JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES vs. THE GOSPEL… DIFFERENT GOSPEL!

-New Testament Christianity's GOSPEL is... JESUS PLUS NOTHING! (And…) FAITH IN CHRIST ALONE!

-You cannot "WORK" your way to God... (So...) GOD "WORKED" HIS WAY TO YOU... In/Through His Son Jesus Christ!

Never Forget…

JESUS PLUS NOTHING… FAITH IN CHRIST ALONE!

JESUS PLUS NOTHING… FAITH IN CHRIST ALONE!

JESUS PLUS NOTHING… FAITH IN CHRIST ALONE!
