SERMON NOTES

Matthew 16:13
 

Confession of Peter 

Hebrews 10:24-25 

If you want to have great kids, you have to start with a great marriage. 
 Jesus is the hope of the world. 

What kind of church do you want to be? 
What do you want to be known as? 

Christianity is not a solo religion, we are meant to do it together. 

If you are a follower of Jesus but cannot function in community, that is not right. 

  1. Community of Honesty 
    1. Ever since Genesis 3 - we all hide.  WE don't want to be exposed. 
    2. Create an atmosphere where there is not hiding, covering, or deceiving. 
    3. Honest with God, one another, and ourselves 
    4. There are so many contexts where we hide ourselves 
    5. In the church it can so easily become a place where we wear masks 
    6. People outside the church are so much more real than in the church 
    7. Not just by being honest, but being honest you can become Christlike 
    8. We want to be honest, and we want to point to the true honest - Jesus Christ 
      1. He is the one to empower us 
    9. Keep pursuing the honest honest 
    10. We are not honest with ourselves 
      1. We are disconnected from our emotion 
      2. Somewhere down the line we believe our own lie, when we are not ok 
    11. Let's let our guards down and let God work through each other 

  2. Community of Accountability 
    1. We need to rub each other the right way so that we can become more like Christ 
    2. We can share our sins with one another 
    3. 1 Thessalonians 5 
    4. We are meant to fight together 
    5. Accountability in the Bible is very powerful 
      1. Read the Bible together 
      2. Pray together 
      3. It's only as powerful as much as you use it 
    6. You are not really opening up and fighting together 
    7. Have you ever had an accountability partner and lied to them? 
    8. The more you utilize accountability the more powerful it is 
    9. Some of your struggle, some of your sin, you ARE NOT going to make it alone 
    10. Talk it out, Cry it out, but ultimately = Pray it out  
    11. Do you have a friend pointing you to Jesus?   
  3. Community of Victory 
    1. Victory into Freedom 
      1. Pray a prayer 
      2. Sing a Song 
      3. Hear a message 
      4. Set Free from Bondage 
    2. Victory into endurance 
      1. Enduring and growing and progress
