Sermon Notes

The Kingdom of God and 4Cs

“Responding to the Call for the 100-Fold Church”
Sermon Four of Four

January 25, 2009 – Pastor Dave Scherrer

Isaiah 58:6-8a (ESV)

"Is not this the fast that I choose:
    ( to loose the bonds of wickedness,
   to undo the straps of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
   and to break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry
   and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
    and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
   and your healing shall spring up speedily;
your righteousness shall go before you;
   the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard

  52 He said, "Then you see how every student well-trained in God's kingdom is like the owner of a general store who can put his hands on anything you need, old or new, exactly when you need it."

Notes:

Refreshing our memory of our commission

• Matt. 28:19
• 2 Cor. 4:18-21

What does it mean to be “Difference Makers? as a church body”

• Confronting Death with a culture of Life
• Overflowing with love into the world
• Leaders of leaders, Teachers of teachers, Mentor of mentors

The courage to be salt and light in a tasteless and dark world
