New Beginnings
 Philippians 3:13-14

Introduction:

A.      We have begun a new era regarding the Lord’s church here at Franklin.

1.      As an evangelizing Christian: my goal is to seek and save the lost and edify my brethren in the Faith. Matt. 22:36-39

2.      I will serve the Lord with all my strengths and fail Him and you through all my weaknesses (as will you).

Discussion:

I.         We’ll Worship our God Together.  Philippians 3:3

II.       We’ll Evangelize Together.  Matthew 28:18-20

III.      We’ll Edify One Another.  Ephesians 4:11-16

IV.    God Will Give the Increase.  1 Corinthians 3:7

V.    It is All About our God.

A.      We will work for and worship… The Lord.

1.      It is not about how good or how much we’ve done. Cp. Phil. 3:8-11

2.      When we learn who it is all about, we’ll grow and flourish in the work of our Lord… giving Him ALL the glory.

Conclusion:

A.      Brethren, this is an exciting opportunity to take advantage of this “new” era.

1.      We’re here to labor together for the cause of Christ.

2.      If we strive together God will give the increase.

3.      May our fellowship to serve our God and each other magnify our holy God.
