Lifting up the name of

JESUS

in our neighborhoods,

our cities and in all nations.

Are you living your life to the fullest?

Is what you are doing right now

satisfying your soul?

If your answer to that question is “yes”, feel free to stop reading right here. But, I have a feeling that perhaps there are some of you that feel compelled to read on. If you were honest with yourself, you would have to say that your heart yearns for more. In John 10:10, Jesus said that He came to give abundant life to those who would follow him. Would you describe your life as abundant, plentiful, abounding or overflowing? Do you experience this on a daily basis? You were meant to.

The truth is we are hardwired to exalt. We intrinsically lift up something in our lives. For some that may be a local football team or a pop culture icon. Others may exalt an ideal or system of thought. Still others may exalt intellectual pursuit, artistic expression or challenging endeavors. But, invariably, we have been made to exalt. So the question is: what will you use your life to exalt? You are given one life on this earth. What will you do with it? Will you use it to pursue a career, wealth, or experiences? There is something infinitely greater than all these aspirations and you have been given the opportunity to have a part. Join with the countless men and women who have given their all to exalt the name of Jesus. Please understand, you are not being invited to lift up an organization, denomination or a particular church. You are being invited to use your life to lift up, to exalt, the name that is above every name: the name of Jesus. In doing so, you will find that abundant, abounding, overflowing life that you were meant to live.

You

You are created in God’s image. You are a unique expression of His creative work. You were made for authentic relationship with Him. (Genesis 1:27, Jeremiah 1:5, Matthew 10:29-31)

The Problem

We have chosen our way over God’s way. We have rejected the love of God through our sin. Our sin has brought death and eternal separation from God. (Romans 3:23, Isaiah 59:2, Romans 6:23)

The Solution

We were helpless to free ourselves from the grip of sin. But God demonstrated his love for us by making a way for us to be reconciled to Him. (Romans 5:8, 1 Corinthians 15:57, Colossians 2:15)

The Price

God’s gift of redemption is free, but the cost was great. God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to pay that price on the cross. His blood sets us free from sin. (1 Cor. 6:20, Isaiah 53:5, 1 Pe 2:24)

The Result

If you confess that Jesus is Lord and receive Him as your Savior, you will be saved. You can be freed from the of guilt of sin and enjoy a new life in God. (Romans 10:9, Romans 5:10)

The Next Steps

Grow in your faith by studying the Bible, be a part of a local church, fellowship with believers and make prayer part of your daily life. (Ps 119:105, Eph 4:11-12, Col. 3:16, Col. 4:2)
