Four G's of Evangelism: Guilt Evangelism, Gift Evangelism, Group Evangelism and God's Evangelism
1 Corinthians 9:16; Ephesians 4:1-16
For too long the church has struggled to do "every-member-evangelism". In fact we have been making things unnecessarily difficult for ourselves. An understanding of the 4 G's can help untie the knot.

Matthew 5:43-48

Acts 20:28
A suggested New Year's resolution for us as a church. This key verse is not just for leaders!
Be Real, Be Honest, and Love God
1 Samuel 16:1-13
Looking at Samuel and how, in spite of his total obedience to God, he still made mistakes.......and so do we.
