sunday's scuds (june 21, 2009)

What a great day at NewPointe Sunday! First of all, Worth Dying For led worship and they flat-out delivered the goods. Stong. Powerful. Wow.

Dwight finished up the two-part series called "Dare You To Move." Strong. Powerful. Wow. Here are the scuds:

  • I want to change the world...I want to be a part of a group of people that want to change the world.
  • Our vision is to lead people in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • I believe that EVERY person is looking for Jesus...they just don't know it yet.
  • Most people come to Christ in order to avoid going to hell. If that's you, you only know Christ as a rescuer--and he's that, but he's so much more.
  • Jesus wants to be your best friend so you'll never be alone again.
  • When we view Christ as a rescuer only, we end up being "religious."
  • Because I'm in love with Christ, it's my desire to share Him with as many people as possible.
  • I'm challenging you to go where you've never gone before and do what you've never done before.
  • Jesus always dared people to move. Today he's going to dare you to move.
  • Jesus dared the rich young ruler to move. He didn't. We never hear another thing about him.
  • We're daring 300 of you to move to Millersburg and 300 of you to move to Louisville and help us launch new campuses.
  • When we embrace God's dares, we end up making a difference.
  • The local church is the hope of the world.
  • The answer to the world's problems is Jesus Christ.
  • I dare you to move from fear to faith.
  • Fear will rob you of all your ambition and all your dreams.
  • What are you doing by faith? What are you doing that you don't have all the answers for--you're completely trusting God?
  • I dare you to move from being served to serving.
  • There comes a time when you need to say, "You know what, I've been served at this church for long enough, it's time for me to serve."
  • It's possible to "serve" a church for a lifetime but never be a servant.
  • A servant shows up and says, "How can I help? What can I do?"
  • We all want to be considered a servant but none of us want to be treated as a servant.
  • I dare you to move from being a follower to being a leader.
  • A follower participates. A leader takes responsibility.
  • I dare you to move from being self-focused to being others-focused.
  • God's not asking you to think less of yourself, he's asking you to think of yourself less.
  • I dare you to move from an earthly view to an eternal view.
  • What are you sacrificing for the Kingdom?
