If Jesus lead the Church...
On August 10, 2014, Keith Davis of the Sacramento Metro church of Christ preached a provocative sermon about Christ and our commitment to His Church. The lesson is not merely a reminder of who we are in Christ, but a challenge to the congregation that if Jesus led the church (which He does),how would we react.
The key Scripture reference is Luke 14:25-33, when Jesus called His disciples. He warns that one must count the cost to follow Him and put his or her love for Him above all else. This means that if we are to be His followers, we must surrender to Jesus. To put this plainly, we must remain focused on the mission to seek the save the lost, follow biblical standards of purity (Ephesians 5:3, I Timothy 5:1-2), and sharpen each other through the Scriptures. It comes down to an uncompromising faith in Christ and being the salt and light of the earth. After all, a church with people who are lacking in commitment id unacceptable.
With this in mind, all of us as Christ's followers must adhere to Jesus' Headship in order to effectively bring people to a knowledge of the Truth. To God be the glory!

Time to Make History: Campus-led Service in Sacramento.
On January 26, the SMCC Campus Ministry led the Sacramento Metro church of Christ in worship. As a congregation, the church continues to find creative and innovative ways to present the full gospel of Christ and through spirited music, moving sharing, and an uncompromising preaching of the Word, it exceeded expectations.
The highlight of the service was Kris Saldana's preaching from Exodus 13-17. He preached about how the Chosen People were grateful for the big victories from God, such as their deliverance from Egypt, yet they were ungrateful and largely ignored Him when He provided them with manna and quail to eat on their way to the Promised Land. In comparison, the Church can often ignore the little victories from God and only focus on the big ones. Kris closed the sermon by challenging the congregation to make history by making impact for Christ by celebrating the small victories.
In all, the Campus Ministry did an exemplary job in conveying that our God is great through things big and small. And to Him be the glory!
