Ok, lets continue to wrap our minds around this idea of dominating the city for Christ. We must not strive for less or believe any less than that we can have an impact on the lives of people who are disconnected with God beyond what we imagine .
I believe that we have something working for us that is going to empower us to dominate the city. That being unity of vision. I have never worked in a church where there has been so many people with a clear understanding of the vision for the church. We are a church that provides environments that helps people connect with God and others no matter where they are on their spiritual journey. That is our focus. We work hard to communicate that we do not want people to put on masks or pretend they have it all together (we already know you are not perfect so don't try to convince us of anything different.) for we are about being real and relevant.
All our volunteers work hard to accept people, to lower anxiety that comes with going to church for the first time, and to create environments that cause those who are coming to want to bring their friends. There is an unexplainable excitement and power when you have a large number of people who in unity have this vision. It creates momentum.
In Luke 17 Jesus reminds us of the power found in a group of people who are working for one vision, "22 The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me." Our passion to stay true to our vision, to invite those who share it to work with us, and to encourage those who do not to find another fine church is what unites us, and together we are going to dominate the city for the Glory of God.
You rock PC'ers!!!
