A common New Year’s resolution among Christians is that of growing a deeper and stronger faith. Our church theme for 2019 is ‘Unwavering Faith.’ This morning we begin our journey of putting faith under the microscope by studying Luke 17:1-10 and learn that the first step in developing an unwavering faith is to ask for it.

Raleigh Church of Christ has been blessed by God with men who have heard the call of the Bible and accepted roles as Elders and Deacons. As our Elders install six new deacons this morning, we must ask a question: “What do our church leaders needGod, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Elders, Deacons, Leaders, Leadership, Servants, Grace, Peace, Prayer, Thanks, Partnership, Gospel, Growth from us as members?” Our answer will come from the Apostle Paul in the opening verses of his Philippians letter

Lloyd John Ogilvie once said, ‘The thing we fear most is having lived our lives pleasantly, but to have made no measurable difference whatever.” Jesus tells us that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world and if these two truth could be summed up in one word it would this: Influence. This morning we are going to learn the power of influence and that if 2019 is going to be different it is because we use our influence for good.

The Birth narratives of Jesus are challenges for two main reasons. On one hand, the birth of Jesus challenges the darkness that surrounds us and His light overcomes the darkness. On the other hand, the birth of Jesus as King challenges the king who sits on the throne of my heart which is self. This morning Matthew 2:1-12 reminds us that Jesus is King and desires to rule in our life in every capacity.

As the calendar turns and the Christmas season is ushered in and everything with it, we start a brand new series entitled ‘Pursuing the King.’ The holiday season is a paradox: joy and sorrow, peace and stress, and light and dark. These all exist and we can lose sight of Jesus and be taken off the path that leads to Him. What do we do when we encounter darkness and the light seems to go out? This morning we will seek to answer this question as we learn to Pursue the King in the Dark.

One the most powerful phrases in the English language is ‘Thank You’. The discipline behind the thankfulness is thought and meditation. This morning we are going to study from Psalm 107 and notice that “Thankfulness is the heart’s memory of God’s presence, love, and work in our lives’.

The Church of God is a spiritual family built on the foundation of the Jesus and the Apostles. Her work is to promote the Gospel to everyone in the community and the world. At the same time, there is a physical aspect to the work of the Church. Who is responsible for carrying out the physical tasks of the local Church? This morning we will study Acts 6:1-7 to find the Bible answer to our Bible question.

Ephesians 2:10 says that God created us in Christ for the purpose of good works. Titus 2:14 tells us that as God’s people created in Christ we are to be “zealous for good works.” This morning we are going to examine 1 Corinthians 12:12-17 to see how we fit into the Body of Christ and to be reminded that every member is needed for the Church to accomplish the good works God has planned.
