Five Pillars of a Healthy Church — Pillar Five: Evangelism
Pastor Mark Russell • February 10, 2008 @ 9:00am • Scripture passages: Matthew 28:18-20
Today we will wrap up the last pillar of a healthy church. The pillar of evangelism is probably the most difficult pillar to get a good grasp of. The best way to develop a passion for evangelism and reaching the lost around us is to really look at our lives and what God saved us from. His Word says that while we were still sinners Christ died for us! He did not wait for us to get it right and change first. He accepted us as we were and then with the Holy Spirit in us, we are brought to change.

Five Pillars of a healthy Church — Pillar 3: Worship
Pastor Mark Russell • January 27, 2008 @ 9:00am • Scripture passages: Psalm 95
As we continue to look at the five pillars of a healthy church, this week we look at Worship. In the church today we have so much confusion about what really is worship. Worship is not an event, music, performance, a feeling, confined to certain times. Worship is our response to God. As we learn to worship we need to adjust to the heavenly perspective of worship. It is about God, who God is and who we are in Him. It is about listening to God in the stillness and hearing His voice. For many this is so hard. Relax. Let go. Be still and know that He is God.

Five Pillars of a Healthy Church — Pillar Two: Discipleship
Pastor Mark Russell • January 20, 2008 at 9:00am • Scripture passages: Luke 6:46-49
As we continue the series on the healthy church we look at the pillar of discipleship. we learn of the difference between being a Christian and being a disciple. We learn that being a disciple is an act of obedience. And we learn that from obedience we get the strong foundation of our faith. Remember the story in Luke about the two houses - one built on sand and one on rock. They looked the same from the outside, only external circumstances revealed the differences. What strengths or flaws will be revealed in you when the storms of life come?

Pastor Mark Russell • 01-13-08 @ 9:00am • Scripture passages: Ephesians 2:19-22
We are starting a series today on the five pillars that make up a healthy church. The first pillar we come to is the pillar of Fellowship. We see in Scripture the need for fellowship and that fellowship brings connectedness. Through connectedness we are able to meet the needs of others. For without fellowship we have a sense of emptiness.

We all can live a life of success but we need to keep our focus clear. This week as we look at the life of Caleb, we need to learn to stay focused in life. We need to follow through completely in life and not do just enough to get by.
