OneChurch.to - Agincourt Campus
Welcome to Agincourt Church this morning! We're so glad you have joined us today.
See below for a short article from Pastor Jonathan, teaching notes and announcements.
The Global Leader Summit will take place at our Agincourt Campus on August 9-10. This two day, world-class leadership experience has the potential of shaping how you lead and how you live at home, at work, as a volunteer and even as a grandparent!
The GLS has fuelled me and grown me as a leader and I would strongly recommend that you plan on making this a priority this summer at OneChurch.to.

Lead Pastor
WHY DO WE FOLLOW JESUS?
1. TO GET TO HEAVEN?
2. TO RECEIVE BLESSINGS?
3. BECAUSE I LOVE AND TRUST HIM AS MY GOD?
“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.”
~ Matthew 22:37-38
QUESTION: HOW DO WE FIGURE OUT OUR MOTIVE FOR FOLLOWING JESUS?
ANSWER: TRIALS!
JOB GOES THROUGH A “LEVEL 301 3-D TRIAL”
- Doubts God’s Goodness
- Demands God’s Knowledge
- Desperate for God’s Answer
1. When we can’t understand
what God is doing,
we can trust God to be doing more
than what we can understand
2. When we don’t have an answer
for what is happening,
we still have unshakable reasons
for trusting God’s Love
3. Even if your trail is life long,
you’ll still outlive it by millennia
“Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.”
~ Job 13:15
WISDOM FROM JOB FOR A “LEVEL 301 3-D TRIAL”
1. Express your confusion, however painful
2. Trust God’s loving wisdom, however non-understandable
3. Follow God because you LOVE HIM, the outcome is heaven....forever
“I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God”
~ Job 19:25-26
