Service Review -- April 15th

Yesterday's worship was filled with scripture and singing that focused us toward the power of the Holy Spirit. A great offertory was shared by Allyson Crane, who sang "Above All". Pastor Bud then shared a message to challenge us out of our comfort zones. Here are a few of the points:



Text: Matthew 14:22-33

I. Confront the fear

- Gen. 12:2, 22:17; Num. 13:27-33, 14:2-4

- all they had to do was obey, God would do the rest

- people would rather remain slaves than to face the fear of the unknown

II. Learn to focus on Jesus

- Peter was fine until he looked away from Jesus

- Mark 10:19-31

III. Be willing to fail

- everything is an experiment when it's new

- are we willing to take a few bumps and bruises to follow God?

WHAT IS YOUR COMFORT ZONE??

- money?

- hold back potential talent/ ability

- relationships?

- how you think?

- your favorite church pew?

** The most important day of the week for the church? EVERYDAY. The church is not contained in a meeting. We are to be active at all times!

** Comfort zones keep us from becoming all that God wants us to be



How will you respond to God's call to get out of the comfortable?????
