This morning we are continuing our sermon series called “It Takes Courage!” A couple weeks ago pastor Chip talked about Jesus giving us courage to stand up for what we believe in. And last week Paul talked to us about the courage of Job. Both of their messages were pretty amazing, so the bar for me today is pretty high!

Today we are starting a 5-part series titled, “It Takes Courage.”

Let’s face it, it takes courage to follow Jesus… It takes courage to raise your hand during ministry time if something pertains to you…

It takes courage as a visitor to raise your hand when we recognize our guests…

To do the right thing, to represent Jesus, to stand strong in our faith takes courage! Read more…

You are a spirit and your spirit is filled with God’s holiness and you are in right standing with God even though your mind may not be at times. Maybe your body does not want to agree but your spirit is always in line with God. You might not feel like it and you might not act like it; but your born-again spirit is amazing. This is the word of God; who He foreknew He predestined, He justified and He glorified to be conformed to the image of Jesus – so Jesus is the prototype of how our lives should look.

Gabriel Speaks to Mary
Luke 1:26-45, 2:1-20 (New Living Translation)
26 Six months after Elizabeth knew she was to become a mother, Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth. Nazareth was a town in the country of Galilee. 27 He went to a woman who had never had a man.
