Sermon notes "His House, Our House"

His House, Our House

Jan 1, 2017

Dr. Ed Newton

John 2:17


"His disciples remembered that it is written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."
• You don't build a bigger wall,  you build a bigger table

• Am I making healthy decisions that will allow me to operate efficiently?

• Convenience can lead to clutter.

• A Whip is a tool of motivation.
(W) Write it down. You will miss your target if you don't know what to shoot for.
(H) Hold it up. Invite people in my life to be a part of my process.
(I) Imagine it around. See yourself in the accomplishment. Get a vision.
(P) Plan it out.




Vision:


Community Bible Church exists to initiate and celebrate life change in Jesus' name.
A convenience turned into a corruption.

Mission:


For the City, For the Nation, For the World by REACHING, TEACHING, HELPING, and GOING in Jesus' name.
The church is not a Cruise ship, it's a battleship

By being obedient to the Great Commission:


"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." Matthew 28:19-20
and the Great Commandment:


"…You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37-39
We will seek to Love God Supremely and Love others Sacrificially by moving people through Our House. 



Front Porch (Reaching):  "Invest and Invite"


The Church is made of people, not a building. That's why Membership Matters at Community Bible Church. You're not just a seat-filler; you're family!

Living Room (Teaching): "Names and Needs Matter"


"Community" isn't just part of our name – it's in our DNA. We believe in our Members Maturing in their faith. It's all about friends becoming family in groups.

Kitchen (Helping):  "Hold the Rope"


Glance around any room at CBC and you'll find the powerful force of our Members Being Ministers. Join the ranks of passionate people giving back to their church!

Back Porch (Going): "Go Forth"


We are called to be lights to our world. This is a church full of Members on Mission. Find out how you can join us in the Great Commission.

The Measurement of Success:


Is not how much we gather on Saturday or Sunday, but how we scatter on Monday through Friday to engage in the mission of God in individual places of influence.
