Scripture for Sunday, January 16th: Mark 12:30


Sermon Title: Live Passionately

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."

To live the way that God would have live, with passion and vigor, we must be connected to the source of Power, and is God Himself. Rev. Kerry Shook writes:

"People who know their lives will soon be over tend to feel a desperate urge to change. But a desperation to change is not enough. In order to sustain the changes, we have to be connected to a power source beyond ourselves - a power source that never wavers, flickers, or leaves us in the dark. We have to move from willpower to the real power that comes from a connection to our Creator. If you have come to the end of yourself and are exhausted from trying to control your life, Jesus offers you the invitation of a lifetime: 'Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real test. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace' (Matthew 11:28-29, MSG)."

Sunday, as we continue our series of messages entitled, "One Month to Live," we will discuss how to stay plugged into the power Source of living by truly loving God with all that we are. Hope to see you then!
