A new week is here, I hope you are ready to be used this week in a great way. God has something special He wants to do in you this week.
I have been thinking a lot about vision over the past week. I have been praying for God to give me a vision for our church Lawrence Drive. I preached yesterday and began to lay the foundation for the vision God would have us to embrace. My desire is to know God's vision. I shared five foundational precepts about what our church should look like, if we are going to go hard after God's plan.
I asked them to imagine a place:
- Where people are desperate for God, and His Spirit dwells powerfully among the members both personally and corporately.
- Where members seek out and accept God-sized challenges.
- Where members are willing to give their lives to the ministry of the Body.
- Where the members come together with a great expectation of life change happening every week.
- Where members love one another unconditionally and exhort one another to a deeper walk with Christ.
I can't wait to see how God fleshes this out so that these could be marks of our church. Wouldn't you want to be a part of a church where these things are happening?
Let me here from you.
