January - “Strengthening Your Serve”
Jesus came to serve, so the church, His body, must see service as a high priority in Authentic Christianity. This month’s challenge is to increase the effectiveness of our ministry.
February - “Mighty To Save”
As we remember the rich history of the struggle for freedom, we acknowledge the power of God to deliver from bondage. Our challenge is to emulate the redemptive work of God as we uphold and reflect the freedom that is in Christ.
March - “Strong Giving for Strong Living”
Stewardship is not meant to decrease but increase in the character of Christ. A cheap life is a weak life. This is a challenge to put God first in our giving and living.
April - “Resurrection Power”
The undeniable fact that Jesus rose from the grave gives us hope to live fearlessly and confidently in a chaotic world. We are challenged, comforted and convicted by the old story of a savior from glory.
May - “Strengthening the Family Bond”
Strong families are practical demonstrations of the power of the Gospel. Unconditional love, unbreakable unity and enduring patience are transformational teachings of the Word that bless families to thrive.
June - “Bonding the Family Strength”
Every family has it’s own unique spirit and personality to contribute to the church and the world. We often fail to see what is right about our families for focusing on what is wrong with our families. Our challenge is to see and celebrate the giftedness, the uniqueness of our families.
July - “Increasing Your Stress Capacity”
Strength is not about how much you can lift, it is about how much you can bear. The challenge to maturity is a challenge to greater strength, a challenge to increase our endurance.
August - “Sound Doctrine”
Soundness is absolutely vital for structural stability. Integrity and immutability are even more impacting in matters of faith than physical construction. This is a challenge to grow in our knowledge and adherence of the Word of God.
Sept - “Mind Muscle”
The pursuit of knowledge and understanding is integral to Christian discipleship. Wisdom strengthens and ignorance weakens. God challenges his children to seek, honor, esteem and grow in wisdom.
Oct. - “Weakness Management”
To be knowledgeable about our weaknesses is a powerful approach to controlling and defeating them. This is why purity, confession and accountability are powerful Christian principles. Let us be challenged to righteous living.
Nov. - “The Joy Of The Lord Is My Strength”
Worship empowers the Christian with the right perspective of life. Rejoicing over who God is and what He has done grants strength, courage and power for living. Be challenged to see that God is great and His grace sufficient.
Dec. - “God in the Flesh”
Miracles, signs and wonders characterized the coming of the Messiah and his Kingdom. Likewise, Godly character and compassionate ministry must characterize the existence of the church today. Accept the challenge to embody and display the presence of God through merciful and compassionate living.
