Wake the World Up to Jesus - wk1

"Gospel"

Dr. Gary Singleton - Senior Pastor

What do you do when you wake up in the morning?  Some mornings everything goes right.  You wake up before your alarm goes off.  You jump out of bed rested and ready for whatever the day brings.  Other mornings are not like that at all.   You wake up late and spend the rest of the day rushed and out of sorts.  But good or bad, it seems that your waking-up experience sets the tone for the rest of your day.
 
This Sunday we’re starting a new sermon series called “Waking the World Up to Jesus.”  We’ve talked a lot about what it means to be a disciple.  A disciple is one who is committed to walking in the ways of Jesus, and then sharing those ways with others.  But what are the distinguishing characteristics of one who is waking the world up to Jesus?
 
We believe a disciple who is waking the world up to Jesus makes five essential commitments, and the first of those is a commitment to grace.  If you want to wake the world up to Jesus, you must first experience God’s grace through faith in Jesus, and then find your identity in God’s grace.
 
I hope you will join me Sunday as we begin to explore what it means to be a church filled with people who are waking the world up to Jesus.  When you wake up to Jesus, you can know that you have set your life on a path of transformation.
