Future of the Church, Pt 1 - July 23, 2000

Sermon 7-23-00
The future of the church part 1 “no train is coming”


Chicago…..Swimming, dinosaur bones, riding the train
Waiting at station for a train that isn’t coming

In life there are times that people are waiting on you.
Scripture today…..Be ready….give the answer

Audit….#1 recommendation…know mission, express it
If we don’t we are a country club
Jeremiah…..dry cisterns

Birthday many years ago, mom didn’t come thru

How do we do that
1. Some have the umph to do it
Point me to the bible study

2. Not too hard, as to scare anyone away
Revival balloon
Miracles & healings nightly

3. But be ready and able
Shake, cry, tremble, but do it

Sometimes they will ask you about your faith
Dad, why does God send tornadoes?
Sometimes you can open the door to the discussion
It’s a beautiful day that the Lord has made

Others are not ready for this yet…that’s ok

Talking about your faith
I love cars…I can talk cars
I love my family…I can talk my family
But I only have one savior
Let me tell you about him
