Are you ready for the series entitled Head to Heart! This series will dramatically revitalize your Christian life. It will make you a better person; most people will love you, though few will understand you. You will hear the voice of the Holy Spirit more clearly and sense His leading more often. You will share more naturally what Christ has done for you and more people will want to hear your story.

We are concluding our series today called Saved, Surrender, Serve! We have talked about the natural progression in our walk with God. The first step we must take is be saved or to be born again…the next step is surrender…we are to surrender everything…the longer we follow Christ, the more we realize all the stuff that we need to surrender. The final step is to serve. We honor or glorify God by serving Him. Last week we talked about serving with vision…about seeing the unseen. This week I want to share with you a message that God has burned into my heart. We must serve Him with conviction. Let me tell ya…this could be a 3-6 week message by itself!

Surrender…at least biblical surrender is about wisdom. People surrender when they realize that what they have is not as good as what they could have. Surrender is about us understanding that going our own way leads to more pain and frustration. God never puts us in a head lock and makes us say “give” or “uncle”. He is always, always, always gently calling out to us…do you surrender yet? Are you ready to give up!

: We are starting a new series to start the New Year. The series is saved-surrender-serve: and today’s message is SAVED! Why do we need to be saved? What happens after we are saved? What is the result of being saved? What are the expectations? Have you been saved? Do you know you need to be saved? Did you know that FUEL Student ministries recently had a mock trial? They were trying to find out if there was enough evidence to convict the defendant of being a Christian. How about you/me/us? Is there enough evidence in our lives to convict us of being a Christian?
