GO!

Tonight

With the start of GO! we are rethinking what ministry could be and
should be. Come tonight to experience a whole new style of service
and outreach… one that will make a big impact on the recipient and
on you, too. Groups will go out to sing at Eskaton, others will stay to
knit for the sick and homeless, some will go to visit our guests, others
will help prepare care-packages for the local schools, and others will
work on sending cards to those who have been absent. So many op-
tions, which one will you choose?

GO! is designed to help us serve both our members and those in our
community. We want to be active in our lives as we demonstrate our C H U R C H O F C H R I S T
faith. Maybe you have an idea of a new type of ministry. Come tonight
and share your idea. February 27, 2011

Our New Pulpit Minister
We are pleased to announce Jimmy Hurd will be our next pulpit
minister. After many months of searching and interviews, we believe
that God has brought us the right man for the job. Jimmy comes to us
with the highest recommendations. He has preached in Michigan and
Washington, and has had a distinguished military career in the U.S.
Navy. Jimmy has over 20 years of effective leadership experience with
hospitals, churches, non-profits, government and military organiza-
tions.
Jimmy and his wife Jacqui have traveled extensively. In fact, it was on
a mission trip to Ethiopia where we were first introduced to Jimmy.
Jimmy has also served on the Board of Directors for the Red Cross and
has been a Diversity Instructor for both the Red Cross and The Boeing
Company. Jimmy and Jacqui have been married for more than 30
years. They have two children and four grandchildren.
Save The Dates:
• We have a special schedule set as we gear up for the start of our
new pulpit minister. March 20 will be Introduction Sunday, where
the congregation will get to meet Jimmy and Jacqui for the first
time. We will have class and one service in the morning followed
by an evening fellowship meal.
• April 17 will be the first Sunday for Jimmy to preach. Again, we
will have one worship service with no classes. A lunch meal will
be served directly after the morning service.
• Just prior to Jimmy’s first official Sunday we will have a weekend
of prayer and fasting. Friday, April 15th, we will start a 24 hour
prayer vigil, followed by a 24 hour fast which will conclude with
our lunch on Sunday, April 17.

Greedy
Mark 9:33-37 & 10:35-45
Ice Breaker
Aside from a newborn baby, which time in life do you think a person
is most apt to greediness? Tell on yourself; Tell about a time when you
were greedy. What did you want?
Background
What is success? What is greed? Ironically, many people have an over-
inflated vision of success which could lead to frustration when they
don’t achieve that vision. On the other side, when we have an under-
stated vision of what greed is, it allows us to judge those who have
more than us.
Life challenges us by having us balance talents and ambition with
contentment and satisfaction. What things should we desire more of?
What things should we be content with? Paul said in Philippians 4:12,
“I have learned the secret of being content in any situation, whether
well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” Contentment
is a tough concept to handle, then Paul complicates it even more by
saying we should be content whether we are doing well or not doing
so well.
So the question remains, what is greed and what is success? Under-
standing what each of these words means in our own life is tough.
These verses in Mark 9 & 10 help us to find stability in our own life
when others are greedily trying to take something from us. We also
can find love for others when we look past the selfish behavior and
learn to serve. Jesus’ words are true when he said, “Whoever wants to
become great among you must be your servant.” (Mark 10:43)
m|group Material
Questions:
Defining Success
1. Who is one person from the Bible who was financially successful?
2. Who is one person from the Bible who was not financially successful,
yet was praised for their faith and obedience?
3. Is financial success a measure of a person’s spiritual faithfulness or
lack thereof?
4. How could financial success impede a person’s spiritual develop-
ment?
Defining Greed
1. Who is one person the world would generally think is financially well-
off and is greedy for more?
2. Who is one person the world would generally think is financially poor
and is greedy?
3. How does the world determine greed?
4. How does God define greed? See Mt. 6:21 & 24, I Pet. 5:2, I Jn. 2:16
Successfully Defeating Greed
1. Our church’s purpose statement is “Love God, love people, and help
people love God.” Does making this the primary goal of your life eliminate the
opportunity to become greedy? Why or why not?
2. Giving overcomes greedy tendencies. Is there something in your
home that you could give that would be a benefit and blessing to someone else?
3. Look at your position in life and your personal belongings as gifts
from God not as rewards for your hard work or superior lifestyle. How could this
perspective change the way you view people who are in need? How could this
change the way you view people who have more than you?
