Text: I Corinthians 15:1-11

Is your life different as a result of the resurrection? That is a question we must ask ourselves on a daily basis. Looking at the apostle Paul we see:

1. A life of declaration. (vs. 1-2)
2. A life of dedication. (vs. 3-4)
3. A man of humility. (vs. 5-11)

Are you able to say "Thank you God for my salvation."?

Missions Conference 2008

Christian Bastke from International Christian Leader Training brings us a message on missions. What does God do when we do the opposite of what he asks?

* God acts with great power when his will is opposed.
* God's disiplenary action.
* God is determined to keep us from ruining ourselves to a point beyond restoration.
* It is for our growth & grace in Christ (Phil. 1:6)
* No ordinary storm - Jonah sleeps while others prayed for salvation.
* Are we annoyed by the lost?
* How can we ignore the challenge and not be willing to share the Good News?

Missions Conference 2008

Christian Bastke from International Christian Leader Training brings us a message on God speaking to Christians and our response to God.

* God speaks to individuals.
* When God speaks we need to listen.
* A prophet (to bubble up) is one who speaks for another.
* God has the right to speak and he expects us to act at any time.
* Our objective should be to do what God whats us to do.
* we are to share the Gospel with others just as Jonah was enlisted to share the word
* Those who do not submit to the will of God are guilty of sin (wickedness of man).
* Missionaries are sent by God to explain his grace and mercy.
* How did Jonah respond (vs.3)?
* Consequences of disobeying God
* When you run from God you must pay your own fare.
* Many Christians today are "on strike" are you?
