One Generation Away 

  • “The church is always only one generation away from extinction”~ Billy Graham
  • While God’s global kingdom will never fail, individual local lampstands can and do go out if a generation loses its spiritual urgency.
  • The real issue facing any modern church is never whether there is a physical building; it is the condition of our hearts before God. 
  • How do we evaluate our spiritual health? We must move past corporate data, and look to the God-given benchmark of the Scriptures.

The Dual Engines of the Early Church

  • The explosive growth of the early church in the Book of Acts was the direct result of the dual engine working together: the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth of God's Word. 
  • Living in Step with the Holy Spirit
    • Waiting in Obedience (Acts 1:4, 14)
    • Praying in Boldness (Acts 4:29-31)
  • Anchored in God's Word
    • God’s Word Reframing Reality  (Acts 2:14-21)
    • God’s Word Transforming Lives  (Acts 2:37-38)

Going ALL IN with God's Word & His Spirit

  • Go All In on Corporate Worship
  • Go All In on Prayer
  • Go All In on God's Word 

A thriving church is anchored in God’s Word

and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
