Our Church Vision Why God Caed You Here
description
This is probably the best explanation of how I understand why God called this fellowship into being. It is a strong, biblical, global and challenging vision that we can fulfill only by deep, ongoing time with God in worship and prayer where He can refresh, guide and empower us to do all this. It would our joy to partner with God in this--by His grace. This is what I am living for. It is who God made me. I hope you can join me in this--and more importantly, join God in this as a member of this church.

Our Goal: Imitate Jesus
Do the works of Jesus#
For the purposes of Jesus #
With the Power of Jesus from the Holy Spirit
The Only Way to Do This
Grow & Go totally dependent on Know#
Worship & Prayer have to be our highest priority (Know)#
Kingdom work must be done by the King Who graciously agrees to work through us. #
The difference between a lukewarm church, a good church and a very fruitful church is how well they know God. Knowing comes from spending time with Him.
The Primacy of Relationship
Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you ( Matt. 6:33)#
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. ( Ps. 37:4)#
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they wall mount up with wings like eagles…” ( Is. 40:31)
Primacy of Prayer
Pray without ceasing#
Don’t be anxious: pray! #
Jesus prayed early every morning. He went into the wilderness many times to pray ( Luke 5:16)#
Testimonies
Worship & Prayer
We do not pray to do the work of the church. Prayer is the work of the church. #
Repent with me. #
Pray for grace to pray. Pray for help to adjust life to to make time for communion with God. #
We must pray a lot to fulfill God’s vision for us. There is no other way.
