WARRIOR CONFERENCE 2012 | June 7th-9th 
Men, its time to register for this year’s Warrior Conference 2012. You can register today atwww.warriorconference.com.

It’s never too late to become all that God has created you to be! If you know someone who is hurting, broken, or in need of help – BRING THEM TO THE HOUSE this Sunday!

Sincerely,

Pastor Steve Jesmer Jr.

Just this past Sunday we saw one more person invite Jesus Christ to be their Forgiver & Leader at TheDC.tv and had record non-holiday attendance at our Hooksett Location. In the past 2 years we’ve seen 248 precious souls invite Jesus to be their Lord & Savior. WOW! And in the past 2 years we’ve baptized 90 of those new believers (21 baptisms just in the past 2 months)! Unreal!

I truly believe God has positioned TheDC to reach thousands not only in this community but throughout urban New England via multiple campuses. It’s all about leading unchurched people to become hardcore followers of Jesus Christ! And this is JUST THE BEGINNING!

I love seeing lives changed by the power of the gospel! I think of “Cindy” who recently accepted Christ as her Forgiver & Leader here at theDC and was just baptized this past Sunday night. She has truly been changed by God’s love and truth. She is learning to forgive others just as Christ has forgiven her. I think of “Gina” who was a first time guest on our Launch Sunday, April 8th, 2007 – and was just baptized this past Sunday on our church’s 5 year birthday! She is a whole new person in Christ now. WOW!

Thank you for being so generous as a church by serving & giving & inviting every single week! Thank you for being so faithful to worship attendance every single weekend! We couldn’t do this without you. In fact, YOU are the Church! We are in this together! Thank you for honoring me and inspiring me as your Pastor!

RECORD BREAKING ATTENDANCE!
We had recording breaking attendance in dcKIDS for the 2nd week in a row with 51 children! I remember when our church was only 51 people total; and that was only 2 years ago! We had 171 people total on Easter Sunday; 200 people on Christmas Eve; and we just turned 5 years old! Church, we are just getting STARTED! Can you imagine what God will do over the next 5 years? I believe He will do so much more than we could ever think or imagine! So, stay faithful; Jesus is worthy of our best!

If you missed last week’s Easter message you can still listen online at www.thedc.tv/listen.

246 SALVATIONS IN 24 MONTHS! ONLY JESUS!

…the one lost coin.

…the one lost sheep.

…the one lost son.

In order for us to always be all about the ONE; here are 4 things we must continue to strive for:

1. Invite the ONE… (invest relationally and financially in sharing the good news with people and inviting them to church)

 ”If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? (Luke 15:4 NLT)

Jesus is the GOOD SHEPHERD. God is the shepherd in this story. God is the Great Pursuer of our souls. HE was pursuing you long before you turned to Him. In fact, while we were turning our backs on Jesus, He was putting His back up on the cross! He loves you and wants to bring you home, He wants to bless you and bring you success in all you do.

The Shepherd also went out searching and didn’t come back home until he found the lost sheep. God is the great missionary. He left all of heaven, was born as a man to seek and to the save the lost.

Jesus said, As the Father has sent me, so send I you.

In Christ, you are a SENT ONE! Are you pursuing the lost? I mean, even way beyond convenience. Way beyond cute. Way beyond comfortable?

Are you willing to be comfortable getting uncomfortable for the cause of Jesus Christ?

2. Prepare for the ONE… (think like a 1st time guest on the weekend, what will help them feel welcomed and more apt to receive God’s message). We must prepare our host and kids environments. We must prepare our worship experience. We must prepare our sermons. We must prepare our guest and new believer follow up resources. We must prepare our volunteers, ministry leaders, and dcGroup leaders.

When the shepherd leaves the 99 others there is preparation that takes place. He has to make sure they are safe, fed, and taken care of while he is gone. BUT…even more importantly the Shepherd MUST prepare for his search and rescue mission! He has to pack. He has to plan out his route. He has to think like a sheep (which is easy for most of us). Sheep are dumb; they wander off. They smell a butt and go after it. We are often just like that The Shepherd has to think, “If I was a sheep, where would I be.” He has to assume that the sheep will be hungry, since he is lost and hasn’t been in the fold to feed on the pasture. He has to prepare to feed him an emergency meal. The Shepherd Has to prepare to address his wounds. The sheep may have fallen into a pit, gotten injured and is unable to help himself. The Shepherd must be prepared with the right tools to help this sheep out of the pit; bind his wounds, and graciously pick him up and carry him home. The SHEPHERD must prepare for the ONE lost sheep or the rescue mission will fail!

It’s the same way in God’s House. WE must prepare for the ONE lost person that God brings into our fold, maybe its a weekend worship experience, or possibly a weekly life group. We must think like a first time guest. What does our signage look like? Is the kids ministry clean and safe? Are the greeters smiling or looking like their dog just got run over? Seriously, there is HUGE DIFFERENCE between being greeted by someone who actually looks like they are GLAD to be in the Lord’s House or someone who looks like they are constipated. Is the worship team energetic and passionate about the lyrics they are singing? Are they prepared? Is the preacher glued to his notes or is he free to speak God’s word with boldness and confidence? Are the guest services volunteers ready to minister to people? Are we prepared for those who are hurting, or are we too buy? Did we bring the right tools to help people in their marriages, finances, parenting, health, career, dreams, hurts, habits, etc…

Are you preparing for the ONE?

3. Celebrate the ONE… (every week the heaven hosts celebrate the ONE…so must we).

And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away! (Luke 15:5-7 NLT)

I love the fact that the Shepherd and his team throw a huge party when they have found the lost sheep. Wow, the Shepherd really loves his sheep!

If I go to a farm or a petting zoo and I look at a sheep I don’t see much, I don’t hear much, I only smell a stank coming from them BUT…The Good Shepherd can see what others can not see. Where some might only see failure, worthlessness, or insignificance, the Shepherd sees INFINITE VALUE, A PRECIOUS TREASURE, SOMETHING TO THROW A PARTY OVER!

When God looks at you, He throws a party! You put a smile on God’s face! Some of you have a hard time receiving that; but it’s true. When just one sinner turns to follow Jesus, all of heaven throws a huge celebration! You should join the party over your own salvation!

AND…some of you have a hard time throwing a party over other people’s salvation. I meet some people who just can’t believe that 246 adults have invited Christ to be their Forgiver & Leader in the past 2 years at our church (and 82 of those new believers have already obeyed Jesus in the step of baptism in just 23 months). They say, “No you must be watering down the gospel, no they must not really mean it; no that can’t really happen in New England.” My friend, do not discredit the move of God just because you aren’t seeing it in your own life. In fact, join in the celebration and I guarantee you will begin to see God move in your own life too!

AND…some of you have a hard time celebrating the wins and successes of others. Other people’s success does not make you a failure. In fact, you should hang out with them, greatness is contagious! Hang around with great people and you will soon see greatness in your own life!

Are you celebrating the ONE? Are you doing this in your private time with God? Are you doing this with your family (are you teaching them to celebrate the one)? Are you doing this with your ministry team(s)?

4. Develop the ONE… (into a hardcore follower of Jesus).

The Shepherd didn’t return home until he FOUND the lost sheep. The mission wasn’t over until that one lost sheep was draped across the shepherd’s shoulders. It wasn’t ENOUGH to say, “Well, we went out there looking, we just couldn’t find him. Sorry, we left a voicemail, I guess we are done doing all we can do. Oh well, we went until we got tired. Aww shucks, we just ran out of time. At least we still have the 99 others. They are just so much more committed. These lost sheep, they are just too much work.”

Nope. The Shepherd had one mission and it was ALL ABOUT THE ONE! And it wasn’t to just give it his best try; it was to do everything possible AND KEEP DOING IT UNTIL he found the lost sheep!

THEN…he carried it home, threw a party and connected him back with the fold. The sheep became a part of the 99. That one lost sheep made 100. It made the family complete.

There are a lot of lost people in our community. Our church is INCOMPLETE until we have reached every last one of them. Granted, there are other great churches in our community and they will reach certain people we can’t; but we must keep searching until we bring ONE more lost person home.

It’s not enough to just find the lost sheep. We have to bring him home and back to the family. It’s not enough to lead someone to make a first time decision for Christ, we must grow them into fully transformed disciples of Christ.

The Great Commission is not “Go into all the world and get people to SIGN UP.” It’s go into all the world and make DISCIPLES.

We have to continue to grow these new believers up in Christ through clear biblical teaching on the weekends, relationships with other believers in small groups, stewardship, serving others, and then joining the ONE LOST SHEEP Search & Rescue Team.

Found people find people!

We must follow up, follow up, follow up until they take a next step. We must grow first time decisions for Christ into fully transformed disciples of Christ!

Are you helping to develop the ONE? Are you in a small group loving on other believers, serving other believers, praying for other believers? Are you serving on a ministry team? Using your gifts in God’s House? Are you giving financially to the mission? Are you tithing and learning to live sacrificially for the kingdom of God?

God is building unbelievable momentum heading into this weekend! So many invites going out, so many invites being accepted! One person told me 100% of their invites have been accepted for EASTER SUNDAY, April 8th, 10am at the Cinemagic & IMAX Theaters, Hooksett! Wow!

Please, don’t say no for someone! And make it easy to say yes Give them a special reason to join you at TheDC for Easter Sunday! Do whatever it takes! Peel back the roof of excuses, and bring someone to Jesus this Sunday!

I’m believing God for a miraculous breakthrough in every life that enters His House!

I’m believing God for a record breaking day in church attendance, which is so important because every number represents a soul saved by Jesus and a life changed by the gospel!

I’m believing God for addictions to be broken, marriages to be restored, hurts to be healed, relationships to be reconciled, frustrations to be freed up, worries to be turned into worship, fears to be turned into failure, and sins to be turned into salvation.

BUT…for all these things to happen we must be willing to partner with God.

Without us, He won’t, and without Him, we can’t.

Here are 5 things you can do to partner with God for making Easter a day of resurrection for so many:

1. Honestly confess any junk in the trunk.
Seriously, just bring your sin, shame, guilt, secrets, hurts, offenses to Jesus. Jesus says, If you confess it I can bless it. If you reveal it I can heal it. Because of Easter Jesus makes dead things alive. What in your life is dead? Jesus wants to bring about a resurrection. The same power that raised Jesus from the grave lives inside of you. In Christ, you have comeback power!

2. Bodly ask God for big dreams.
Bold prayers honor God. And God honors bold prayers. Maybe it’s the salvation of a loved one. Maybe its healing for a spouse, a child, or yourself. Maybe its to be financially free, or own your own home, or find a new job. Just make it big, and make sure you are asking for something that requires God to show up and show out. Small dreams insult our big God.

3. Don’t play it safe.
Don’t just sit around and do nothing. Act like those prayers are already being answered. Put some action behind those prayers. Expect God to fulfill the promise he has placed in your heart. Come Easter morning expecting God to supernaturally bless you beyond your wildest dreams. Attempt something great for God. A friend in our church recently told me, “Pastor, my wife and I have set a goal to fill an entire row of seats at church with people who need Jesus.” And now they are acting on it. They have already begun inviting, and two of their relatives came to church and accepted Christ last weekend. Woohoo!

4. Be faithful to the House!
Don’t miss a single week of worship leading up to Easter Sunday, April 8th. The more you participate in the House, the more God participates in your home! It’s time we bring our homes back into His house, and His house back into our homes. Stay planted in the House. If you aren’t serving, now is a great time to start. You are blessed to be a blessing. If you aren’t giving, now is the time to start. You will find healing and hope when you bring your home into His house! Get up early for church, arrive early, get your whole family involved! Lead the way, be the example.

5. Infect others with your passion for The House! Don’t keep it a secret. Share the dream or prayer with others. Pray together, and worship together. Come to church together, and infect one another with an incurable HOPE in the goodness of God upon your lives. Keep believing God for greater, don’t let a single day go by without sharing Gods greatness with somebody else.

Take time today to write down the names of those you are going to invite to Easter Sunday. Now start investing God’s love into them, they will eventually want a whole lot more!

2011 was a record year for The Dialogue Church in every category! But I believe 2012 is going to dwarf those milestones! I believe God is going to more than double the life change in this church! Soon we will see dozens accepting Christ as their Lord & Savior every single week at TheDC. Who wants to see that?!

We have some incredible opportunities for the WHOLE FAMILY to get connected this weekend at The Dialogue Church:

LIFE GROUPS SPRING SEMESTER | Begins Feb.12th
Join a life group and start growing in your faith with God’s family! The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. It was meant to be lived in community with other believers. Don’t be a spiritual orphan. Help us develop new believers in their faith! Get Connected at The Dialogue Church, join a life group. For more info or to sign up online go to www.thedc.tv/groups.

3:10 CHALLENGE | Trust God Today
A Tithe literally means “tenth”. Tithing is really about trusting. God is not after our wallet, He’s after what’s attached to our wallet – our worship! Tithing is God’s training tool to teach us always to fear the Lord our God (Deut.6). At The Dialogue Church, the mission of Jesus is fueled by the faithful tithes & offerings of our regular attenders and members. Are you tithing? Learn more at www.thedc.tv/310.
