"I despaired at the thought that my life might slip by without seeing God show himself mightily on our behalf." - Jim Cymballa

God wants you to be a member of His family (Fellowship).

Challenge 2011: we have to learn how to "connect" with people.

Challenge 2011: we must take our fellowship outside the church and into deeper levels.

God wants you to be a model of his character (Discipleship).

"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." (I Tim. 4:12).

Challenge 2011: Holiness is not just our doctrine; it must be our lifestyle.

God wants you to be a minister of his grace (Ministry).

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms" (I Peter 4:10).

"For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10).

Challenge 2011: Don’t just be a "sitter"; be a "servant."

God wants you to be a messenger of His love (Evangelism).

"I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace" (Acts 20:24).

"God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us." (2 Corinthians 5:19-20).

Christ wants you to be a magnifier of His name. (Worship).

Challenge 2011: Get excited about worship and bring others with you!!

Fulfilling God’s purposes is the responsibility of every Christian.
