Rev. Jim Webber
Isaiah 14:24, John 4:24 ,John 3:3-7, John 14:6, Matthew 7:21-23, 1 Peter 2:2-3, 2 Peter 3:18a, 2 Peter 3:9, 1 Cor 2:13, John 16:24, James 4:3, 2 Chron 1:11-12, Matthew 7:7, Philip. 1:6
Many people, and sadly many Christians, go through this life without knowing what God’s plan and purpose is for them. Many people just follow their own desires and really never know where they are going and never have has a true sense of purpose. They go through life thinking, “It’s my destiny, with a little luck or it’s just my fate. But God really does have a plan and purpose for everyone.

Essentials For Living: Connecting to the 3T Network
01/17/10
Dr. Phil Wilkes, Matthew 6:5-8, Luke 11:1
Perhaps you heard about the state dinner with the President of the United States. You must have an invitation to go in and have dinner with our President. However one couple was able to get past security, sneak in, and even shake hands with the President without having an invitation.
You don’t have to do any of that with God. You have an open invitation, 24 hours a day, to come into God’s presence. Prayer is a wonderful gift that we have from God. We are able to spend time with the Lord, bring our concerns and burdens to him, pray for others, seek his help and ask for forgiveness and receive it. Pray is a powerful tool for Christians.
This message takes a look at how we can effectively use prayer and some of the misconceptions about prayer. Jesus regularly went off by himself to spend time with the Father. The early church continually gathered together to pray. We don’t have to spend life consumed by worry and anxiety. Paul says in Philippians 4 when we pray we will experience the peace of God in our lives. Set aside time each day to be with God.

We will celebrate the ways that we are living this out, challenge ourselves in the areas we aren't and remind ourselves how amazing it is that God participates with us in fulfilling His purposes in this community, this nation and the world!
As we love God, love others, and serve the world through Christ, our community will be about:
- Demonstrating love for God through creative and authentic worship (Psalm 100, Luke 21:1-4)
- Building meaningful relationships as we walk through life together (I John 4:7-12, Ruth 1:15-18)
- Committing to help each person develop to the fullness that God intends for them (John 10, Luke 6:37-42)
- Being a community that embraces all who seek God (Acts 10, Revelation 7:9-10)
- Empowering people to radically peruse Christ as we share the gospel in our community, nation and world (Ephesians 1:17-23)
- Meeting the needs of our world-sharing the hope, healing and wholeness found in Christ. (Philippians 4:13, James 2:14-17, Revelation 21:5-7)
