Rowing in the Boat of Faith

“Every one of us shares our faith every day.” That’s the staunch reality we live in, says Dr. Randy Norris, in this message on witnessing and living for Christ. How we live and respond, what we say, and how we treat others–those are “faith-sharers” telling people what we really believe about God. Our job, explains Randy, is to take the oar God has given each of us in the Body of Christ, and faithfully keep rowing forward for Him and for this world in need.

Aiming Straight at a Lost World

The “world” we live in doesn’t know Jesus. Sure, there are lots of people who know about Him. Many even believe He was a great man and prophet. But few have placed their faith and hope in Christ as the only Savior and Lord. In this final message in the Bullseye series, Dr. Randy Norris challenges Christians to look beyond the facade, the artificial smiles and aloof attitudes. Our friends, family, work associates, and schoolmates all need the love of Jesus. As the old song says, “People need the Lord” and “only we can share.”

Wearing the Bullseye

Ever feel like you have a huge target painted on you? Ever feel like someone is out to get you? If you are a Christian who is actively praying for lost people and trying to share Jesus’ love with them, then Dr. Randy Norris has some less-than-encouraging news for you: You do have someone out to get you! His name is Satan. In this message in Randy’s continuing series called Bullseye, Pastor Randy gives us strong reason to keep on being a target because of our faith.

You Are Here–The Story of Your Life

So, where are you today? Have you stopped lately to think about that? In this message, Dr. Randy Norris uses powerful word-pictures to help us understand where we are in the history of mankind and what role God wants us each to play in the “movie” of life. Christians all have a story of hope and peace to share with others. Pastor Randy reminds that’s why we’re here.

Creating a Culture of Concern

It’s great when churches are unified and enjoy community with each other. However, if we’re not very careful we can focus so much on ourselves that we forget the reason the Church is in this world. We are to be the light of Christ to those who don’t know Him. Dr. Randy Norris encourages us to “talk with God about the lost before we talk to the lost about God.” We are to be building God’s Kingdom, sharing our faith, everywhere we go.

In the World, Not Of the World

Pastor Randy Norris continues his mini-series with this strong word about our place as Christians among society. People all around us need to see that we are indeed different — set apart in the way we conduct ourselves, in the way we carry on business transactions and interact with others in kindness and humility. We are to be “salt and light” to a world in which we are aliens, yet, a world to which we are called to show Christ’s light of salvation and hope.
