Say Yes to God.....
Many think of self-denial as giving up something during the Lenten season. Others have said that it
is to be dead to self, or even to hate self. I disagree with these opinions. When Jesus referred to self-denial (Mark 8:34), he was not talking about denying ourselves some luxury item or denying the
reality of self or the needs of self. Rather, he was focusing on the importance of renouncing self as
the center of our life and actions.
In other words, self-denial is the decision of each of his followers to give over to God his body,
career, money and time. A true disciple is willing to shift the spiritual center of gravity in his life.
Self-denial is the sustained willingness to say no to oneself in order to say yes to God.

North American Missions Emphasis 2011THEME Start Here
When He saw the crowds, He felt compassion for
them, because they were weary and worn out, like sheepwithout a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, The
harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray
to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His
harvest (Matthew 9:36-38, HCSB).
Spiritual awakening and revival will never come to
our families, churches, communities, continent or world
without it first coming to our individual hearts. Even Christians strong in their faith and the expression of it in
word and deed need times of renewal and reflection on where God has brought them and where He is leading
them to go. We need renewal. We need revival. We need to experience afresh Gods power and presence in our
lives. We need His eyes to see, His ears to hear, His heart to love, His hands to touch, and His mind to engage
people where they are and lead them to Him. Only then can we move out toward others with evangelistic passion
and purpose.To Start Here is to look inward at ourselves. It is to examine our hearts, our thoughts, and our actions.
It is to discover the strengths and weaknesses of our faith. The mirror that reflects our inward condition is Gods
Word. We must respond to Gods desire for us to explore His Word, listen to His voice, and invite His Spirit to
move in our lives so we can freely and sacrificially give ourselves to His Kingdom work as we live out the Great
Commission task.
Start Here is to also see those around us with Gods eyes and to respond to what we see with
His hands of love and His heart of compassion and His message of Truth and salvation. The landscape of lives
that make up North America will never be fully cultivated and harvested without God first touching Christians
hearts to see the field and discover their personal roles in fulfilling the Great Commission. Christians must see
the crowds and not be overwhelmed by the vastness of the needs. They must start here with one person, with
one prayer. Those that have discovered Gods abiding presence, even in the midst of fear, inspire and motivate
us to join them in having passion and compassion that reaches from ones heart all the way around the world knowing sometimes the world is as close as the person right beside you. Southern Baptist North American
missionaries are a key element in the task of fulfilling the Great Commission, but the call is for everyones
involvement. As we support this great missionary force through prayer, through financial support, and through
going to serve alongside them, we must recognize that their task is ours as well. They serve in hard placeswithdedication and perseverance, but they need our active participation. Missionaries first fall on their knees in prayer
before standing up and moving into the field on their feet. They are role models in being fully used by God to
bring the gospel to all people. They trust the Holy Spirit to move in the lives of people and rest assured that God
has called them to be both faithful and fruitful. They know the joy of seeing transformation come as a new
follower of Jesus starts here with simple faith and trust.
This year, will you commit to start here by re-examining your heart to discover His will and way for
your life as you live out the Great Commission call? What transformation do you need to witness? How will you
respond?

EXPERIENCE THE STORY OF CALVARY
EASTER MUSIC
APRIL 16, Saturday
APRIL 17, Sunday
6:30pm
As the Sanctuary Choir presents....
ON A HILL TOO FAR AWAY
It is the story of Calvary. While it may seem that all of this
occurred on a hill too far away, too far removed from our
life to speak to us, we cannot stand in the distance and expect to experience the
magnitude of the cross. We must draw near. We must face what we can never
understand. We must confront the ravaged spotless Lamb to gain just a glimpse
of our stain of sin. The cross cannot be explained away. The cross cannot be
ignored. The cross cannot be stripped of its cruelty and shame. The cross cannot
and will not be denied. The invitation stands-come to the place of mercy and
grace. It is the way of the cross that leads us home.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy
set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right
hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2 NIV)
We encourage you to invite a neighbors and friends to
join you for this moving presentation of
ON A HILL TOO FAR AWAY
