The Call Conference is BACK!

Welcome! HIS LIFE MINISTRIES

What’s the PURPOSE? • For Pastor Joebert to create an awareness for Servant-Leadership in His Life and in all her affiliated ministries and departments, from the Council to Small Group Pastoral Leadership to even being Teachers at HLLC. • To recruit and qualify people for works of service (Ephesians 4) in 2009. See list of exciting ministries available on page 2. • To identify and train fulltime staff aspirants in FULL TIME MINISTRY CALLINGS. We are excited to see Church Planters among our youth and Campus Missionaries too. This will be a growing movement!

I am personally encouraging you to go all the way SERVING Jesus at the prime of your lives this 2009! The Call Conference is intended to help potential volunteer leaders and the current leadership to make their decision concerning their commitment to the body of Christ here at His Life Ministries for another term of service. As God has entrusted us with over 2,000 people [and growing] to pastor, we are constantly looking for men and women of God who will be of SERVICE! Be ignited to serve,

Guide Notes for January 25, 2009

SOUTH IGNITE Sunday

with Pastor JR

… ignite to Kingdom Life! This Teaching outline may be used in your Small Group Meetings. Make sure to have Application Questions for everybody to apply God’s Word.

What is the Kingdom Life? What is this baptism of Spirit and Fire? Luke 3:4 Isaiah had spoken of John when he said, “He is a voice shouting in the wilderness: ‘Prepare a pathway for the Lord’s coming! Make a straight road for him! 5 Fill in the valleys, and level the mountains and hills! Straighten the curves, and smooth out the rough places! 6 And then all people will see the salvation sent from God.’”

Word of God The Bible Luke 3:16 "John answered their questions by saying, “I baptize with water; but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I am not even worthy to be his slave. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

COMMENTARY

Celebration

LUKE 3:16

of our 3

John’s baptism with water symbolized the washing away of sins. His baptism followed his message of repentance and reformation. Jesus’ baptism with fire equips one with power to do God’s will. The baptism with the Holy Spirit was first given at Pentecost (Acts 2) when the Holy Spirit came upon believers in the form of tongues of fire, empowering them to proclaim Jesus’ resurrection in many languages. The baptism with fire also symbolizes the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing God’s judgment on those who refuse to repent.

— Tangub, — Sum-ag and — Singcang communities!

LUKE 3:17 John warned of impending judgment by comparing those who refuse to live for God to chaff, the useless outer husk of the grain. By contrast, he compared those who repent and reform their lives to the nourishing grain itself. The winnowing fork was a pitchfork used to toss wheat so that the kernels would separate from the husks. Those who refuse to be used by God will be discarded because they have no value in furthering God’s work. Those who repent and believe, however, hold great value in God’s eyes because they are beginning a new life of productive service for him. C a n y ou HO ST a Sm a ll G r o up in yo ur H o m e ?

Guide Notes for January 25, 2009 (HLM Central)

Serving God

at the

with Brother Clifford Puen

Prime

of

my life!

This Teaching outline may be used in your Small Group Meetings. Make sure to have Application Questions for everybody to apply God’s Word.

Who is Matthew? •

He was a tax collector

He had position, prominence

He was wealthy

•

He was hated by the people, despised by many(traitor, extortionist, cheater)

•

He was an unlikely candidate

He was busy, called from work

•

He was called, and he followed

•

He had friends of the same feathers!

He shared a meal ...

The Truth About the Call of Jesus •

Jesus initiates the Call: “come follow me”

Jesus calls the “sinners”

•

Jesus calls the busy and the pre-occupied

•

Jesus calls the nonreligious

•

Jesus calls to heal us (to the sick)

•

Jesus call to follow is personal (he dines w/ us)

Word of God The Bible Ephesians 4:16 “Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”

Jesus calls the practical

Jesus calls the rich and the poor alike Jesus’ call transforms us

•

Jesus call to follow is purposeful [Evangelism & Discipleship]

•

Jesus calls us at the prime of our Lives! The best part

WIN Souls

Why does Jesus tell us to follow Him? No one else is qualified, No one fits the Job description • I am “the Way” - John 14:6 ; Gal 3:22 • I am the light - John 8:12 • I am the good shepherd – John 10:11 • For God’s glory- Romans 11:35

BOND Believers

His Life followers of Jesus at the Prime of their Lives: 1.Full Timers (Pastors, Staff)

2.Part timers (sound tech, finance staff )

3.Volunteers (Ushers, Sunday School Teachers, Musicians, etc.)

4.Small Group Pastors

The challenge as we follow the call of Jesus is to Serve God at the Prime of our lives:

TRAIN Disciples

SEND Leaders

When? The time is now (Matt 8:22) How? Wholeheartedly (Joshua 24:14) Where? Where you are right now (Jer 6:16) Possible? All things are possible! (see Philippians 4:13; Luke 1:7)d

Can we afford not to serve God ? Can we afford to be neutral ? When will you serve ?
