We are a New Creation

We are a New Creation Part 1 of the series, oBEdient If we insist on Jesus helping us fulfill our agenda, we will inevitably tame him into our mascot. But what would happen —ask yourself the question—what would happen if you volunteered to be part of HIS program? What if you said to him, ‘Wherever you send me, I will go’? I’m absolutely convinced that over the next few weeks, God is going to tap some of you on the…

The Lost…

‘What is the priority of the church?’How would you answer that question? If you were asked the question, ‘What is the priority of your life as an individual Christian,’ how would you answer it? As followers of Jesus, how we answer it is not nearly as important as how he would answer it—and we know the answer to that question. DON TURNER Download the discussion guide

Fulfilled, Part 4: Cornerstone

Three times [in 1 Peter chapter 2] Peter uses the word “precious” to describe Jesus. But to many, in that world and in ours, Jesus is not precious at all.

See, local/global evangelism is the task of the Church. It is the primary task of the Church. — Don Turner

The Outward Focused Church, Part 2: God and His Mission

At the end of time, when all of this is done, there’s a picture of a day in which all of the redeemed from all of the ages will surround the throne, and we’ll begin to sing. And the Bible says that we’ll sing a new song. … It’s not going to be about our need, or even about His provision, except in this sense — of what He provided in the person of Jesus Christ, who was the Lamb…

The Outward Focused Church, Part 1: An Introduction

We don’t have a seating capacity problem; we have a sending capacity problem. … We have—in the church today, worldwide—9,000 times more manpower and 3,000 times more money than we need to fulfill the Great Commission TODAY. Where is it? We’re it! It’s sitting in chairs and pews in churches all over the world, waiting for somebody to mobilize it—waiting for somebody to come along and say, “Let’s turn our eyes off ourselves and put it on the harvest field!”…
