Lesson 1:
"Building a New Dream... A New Burden"
by Michael Lewis
Dalton Gardens Church of Christ
March 22, 2009
We live in the land where mistakes are made and you have to try to go on, doing the best you can in spite of past failures .
Past disappointments make it very difficult to grow older with new dreams about what could be.
But when you need a new beginning... When you need revival... The idea of seeking ways to stimulate new growth is a good idea.
BACK TO THE FOUNDATION...
1. The great commission (Matt 28:19-20)
2. The greatest command (Mk 12:29-31)
A. You have good friends who know you and will watch out fro you.
B. You have a sense of ownership in the spiritual well being of others.
C. You will not suddenly get upset about some unknown thing and drift away from the congregation without anyone noticing.
D. If you have a problem you will not have trouble finding people who care and want to help.
3. The greatest gift . (1 John 4:1)
WANT TO BUILD A NEW DREAM...
1. Ask yourself what gifts God has given you for service .
2. What is your burden for this congregation?
3. Build a team , don’t be a Lone Ranger!
