There’s a saying that says, “You get what you expect.” Perhaps that’s no truer than in the area of faith. Jesus said it this way, “According to your faith will it be done to you!” (Matthew 9:29). You get what you expect. You get what your faith expects.
What if your faith doesn’t expect much? What if its weak or small or virtually non-existent? What can you do to grow it? That’s the basis for this new series, called “FACING unCERTAINty”. We are going to discover “Miracle Grow” for our faith. We’re going to see our faith grow so that we’ll be able to face any and every “giant of uncertainty”.
So let me encourage you to COME EXPECTING
- expecting God to use the next 6 weeks to do something special in your life.
Here’s what I’m expecting. Here’s what I see as I have been preparing for this series:
1. I see people accepting Christ every week in our kids, teens, and adult services and programs.
2. I see people coming early to not only get the front seats, but to not miss a single moment of our services, where we are ramping up our desire for INTIMACY with Christ.
3. I see even more people than usual inviting people they have been investing in.
4. I see relational, emotional, and physical healings
5. I see people “prospering with purpose” [ie: people getting jobs, promotions, bonuses and blessings - because of their increased desire to make a difference in the Kingdom of God. He prospers them for a purpose!].
6. I see us launching dozen and dozens of new LIFE TEAMS (serving teams) and new LIFE GROUPS (relationship and growth groups) as more and more people hunger for greater levels of Biblical COMMUNITY.
7. I see all kinds of people finding acceptance, healing and victory through our Celebrate Recovery ministry
8. I see our commitment to “INFLUENCE” not only cause us to break the 1,000 barrier, but soon to break 1200, just to make it clear that God is doing something special rather than us riding our own wave of momentum.
9. I see a spiritual awaking in this valley as spiritual sleepiness is unable to resist the prevailing work of God through his Church
10. And I see the men of our church spiritually “man-up” as more and more of them refuse to be spiritually passive, and instead learn what servant-leadership looks like in their homes, church, and places of business.
Don’t just read about “IT”. Come see “IT”. Come expect “IT”.
Come be a part of “IT”
