Yesterday I preached at the Exchange . This Church is getting ready for a great growth sprirt. They have some really passionate people and they have a great vision.
We had a great day at living Springs Church I preach on the words of Jesus to his disciples in Matt 28.
Here are some of the highlights:
.Jesus started with 12 disciples and after 3 years of powerful ministry He had 11. The first church had a decline before they saw some growth.
.Jesus told his disciples to go to the designated place and there they worshipped Him. Sound like Church. I believe that the local church is Gods designated place for every believer. If you love Jesus you will love the local church. If you serve Jesus you will serve through the local church.
.The mountain top is good but its only for a moment. The valley is where the ministry is.
.Some worshiped and some were doubtful.Not every one buys into the vision right away. Some will doubt. That's OK because power is on the way. Transformation makes doubters into believers.
We are having our Vision Banquet this Wednesday. I am super excited to remind people why we can continue where we are and why we need to get to there.
God has me into alot of different things right now. One of the exciting things is Fellowship66 (a network of church using the66 books of the Bible as our guide to healthy ministries. Here is the web site fellowship66
