What Can You Do – How to be a Blessing to Others Series. As you probably know, the church is changing. However, surveys show people have a greater interest in spiritual things than ever, but they are less interested in traditional church. Is this a bad thing? To me, it’s a good thing. This is a reason why I was born. To me, this is why our church exists. This should be our finest hour.

Circles are Better than Rows pt 1 – How to Overcome Isolation in Church Life – video audio notes
What I specifically mean is to connect in one of our small groups. Here’s what you need to understand. Small groups are the essence of the Christian experience. I heard it said this way, “Circles are better than rows.” What does that mean? The ESSENCE of the Christian experience is circling up connected, not sitting in rows looking at me. It’s better to look at one another in a circle than in a row looking at me. It’s in our What Can You Do sermon series.
Connect pt 2 Small Groups – How to Build Community – video audio notes
We need both circles and rows. Jesus did both. Why? It’s the most powerful way to maximize and connect with God. Church in the New Testament did both. The New Testament teaches both and we can’t really do one well without doing the other. In fact, we’re not really having church unless we do both. The church must be both for maximum power to connect with God. If you’ve ever done both, you know. It’s in our What Can You Do sermon series.

Serve on a Team – How to Make a Lasting Impact – video audio notes
A church is successful not because of a preacher. It’s because people serve on a team. Though entitled to their time, their money, their abilities, their empowerment, they have taken what they are entitled to and instead of using it for themselves, used it to serve others. They, as it were, wash our nasty feet every week so we can come and enjoy a good meal at God’s table. It’s in our What Can You Do sermon series.
Give a Percentage pt 1 – How to Overcome Giving Fears – video audio notes
Those of you who purposefully give a percentage off the top have no idea what you have done. You have powerfully made a difference not because of horror stories that happened and someone told them but because of the horror stories that never happened at all. That’s the power of purposeful percentage giving. It’s in our What Can You Do sermon series.
Give a Percentage pt 2 – How to Manage Money Wisely – video audio notes
In God’s economy, we give a percent to the place of worship for prevention. There is a percentage given to ourselves, and there is a percentage given to alms. The best part of our giving for me is not I fulfill the commands of the scriptures. It’s I get to partner with God in the greatest work ever – kingdom work. It’s in our What Can You Do sermon series.
Invite A Friend – How to Make Church Welcoming – video audio notes
Few people come to church the first time you invite them. People are, for some reason, programmed to say no when invited to church. Most of us said no the first time we were invited. So, realize you are beginning a process. Don’t give up. Every time you see them, mention something about the church. It could take years. Remember, one day they will need God. When that day comes, you want to be the first person who comes into their mind.
