As a church, we have a great history of faith-filled steps that have moved us forward. From very small beginnings, an amazing

ministry emerged and continues to touch so many lives. Reflecting on the past, each of us should be thankful for the generations

before us who left us a great legacy to build on. But if all we have are memories, then we are missing so much. The good news is we

have more than memories. We have a vision!

We live in a city and a culture that is moving in the wrong direction and many people are being swept up in the swift currents. As

Christians we can be tempted to withdraw and move into a survival mode, all about our own personal comfort and safety. First

Christian is already doing great work in our community and our world, so we could just maintain our current ministries and giving,

and we would still be doing much. But do we really want to live in a way that is just surviving and ignoring others who need to find

the hope and help for a better way to live?

It is time to break through some plateaus, both personally and as a church. It is time to take new bold steps of faith. It is time for

us to move forward together toward a new vision to reach, win, and grow. That simple framework for our future vision comes from

Jesus Himself. Summarizing His great commission, Jesus tells us to go and make disciples, baptize those who believe, and teach

them to obey all I have commanded you. [Matthew 28:19-20] He is inviting you to be all about reaching others, winning lost souls,

and growing deeper as disciples.

I put this invitation before you right now. I invite you to join me with a new commitment declaring “I’m All In” for the new things

ahead Jesus calls us to. To resource this vision, we simply must grow in our generosity. We can’t wait on a better economy or for the

world around us to improve on its own. It’s time for us as the people of God to step up and step forward in faith, to be “all in” on

new initiatives that will move us forward.

challenge: take a new step of faith

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work

As you thumb through the pages of this journal, you will find an explanation

of the vision that God has placed upon our hearts. It’s a big vision, and I be-

lieve it is only attainable if we are ALL IN. Every one of us must do our part.

I believe God is calling each of us to take a new step of faith in our spiritual

journey. If we can do this now and do this together, we will step forward into

the exciting future that God has for First Christian, our city, and our world.

Long ago, Jesus invited 12 ordinary people to “Come follow me”. When they

said yes, he led them forward to amazing new things, changing their lives and

using them to bless countless others. He is still inviting you to take a step of

faith today. Say yes. Let’s say it together – “I’m All In!”

All In for Christ Jesus,

Steve Wingfield

Senior Pastor

within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

Mid-week prayer and planning meetings were held at the home of Bill & Lassie uhlemeyer. The first services were held in an old white farmhouse on the St. Louis Christian College campus. 28 persons were present and twelve

of them placed membership on that first day.

1959The church moved to 890 Lindsay Lane and changed its name to First Christian Church of Florissant.

1972Charles Wingfield was called to ministry and soon thereafter the church began to

outgrow the facilities on Lindsay Lane.

1988Construction began on Phase II, a two-story educational wing. Five years later, Phase III brought expanded office space, a preschool wing and second floor classrooms.

2004Construction began on our new

1,625-seat worship center.

More than bringing new people through the church doors, we are called to “win.” Jesus defined that as baptizing those who respond to the invitation when they come to believe. Our goal is to see 1000 people make a personal decision for Jesus Christ over the next two years. win

For all of us who have been won, Jesus said, “Teach them to obey all that I commanded you.” our destination is more than being born again.

frequently asked questionsBy committing to I’m All In, how does this change my giving to the General Fund, Missions Fund, Building Fund, or other special offerings? For those who have contributed previ-ously to multiple funds, this is a way to consider your total giving to God through First Christian. During this two-year period, every contribution to God through First Christian is a contribution to our I’m All In initiative. Every aspect of the ministry vision God is calling us toward will be funded through this initiative. Therefore, every weekend becomes a weekend to celebrate and contribute toward what God is doing through us.

What are you asking me to do? First and foremost, we are asking you to pray and seek God’s guidance on what He is asking of you. Prepare your heart to hear Him, and then listen to what He says. Engage in a small group, if you haven’t already joined one. Spend time with God using the devotional guide and journal in the back of this book. Talk with your spouse and your family about what this whole-life commitment will mean for this next exciting season of our lives.

We are asking you to make a sacrificial commitment to go ALL IN for God. Follow His leading – nothing more, nothing less. Finally, we ask that you prepare to be amazed. We serve an awesome God and He is sure to show up in huge ways, so let’s anticipate a great splash from our collective I’m All In commitments.

Are there additional ways besides cash that I can give more toward this initiative? Be creative as you explore ways you and your family can give toward this initiative. You might have some stocks, property, or other items of that nature. Or you may have some stored resources that God has blessed you with in the past that He just might be calling you to give during this time.

How long is my commitment? We are asking that everyone make a two-year commitment. The fulfillment period for your commitment will begin in November 2014 and will culminate in October 2016.

day one Go to ALL the Nations (Matthew 28:18-20)

After Jesus rose from the dead, but be-fore He ascended back to heaven, He gave His disciples a directive. A com-mand. A commission. That commission has not changed in the thousands of years since that day, and it is that same commission that drives the future vision for First Christian. As followers of Jesus, we’re going to REACH (“go and make disciples of all nations”), WIN (“baptiz-ing them”), and GRoW (“teaching them to obey everything I have commanded”). What a large vision! We certainly have to be ALL IN to reach ALL the world. We’re not doing this on our own, though. Jesus is with us, leading the charge – and He’s been given ALL authority.

It’s ALL God’s (Psalm 24:1-10)

As we talk about being ALL IN, it’s important for every one of us to a look at our time, our energy, and our resources and how we can le-verage those things for God’s Kingdom. Isn’t it a relief, though, when we remember that the whole world belongs to God? Everything you own and everything you have – it’s ALL God’s! Knowing this and believing it frees us from worrying about our stuff, and how much we’re supposed to portion out to God. God is the one who gives to us and enables us to partner with Him in sharing Christ with the world. Take a moment to think through everything that God has shared with you, and let that be an encour-agement to use these blessings in a way that honors Him!

We Can Do ALL Things(Philippians 4:10-13)

As First Christian is looking for its members to be ALL IN, there are some who might get discouraged because they don’t feel like we have enough resources or spiritual depth to make a big splash. But Paul knew that it didn’t matter whether he was poor or wealthy for him to be ALL IN for Christ. He knew that his ability to impact the world in a big way didn’t depend upon the size of his wallet or his spiritual résumé, but the size of his faith. Be content that no matter the circumstances you are in right now, God is ready to work in you and through you to accomplish His purposes. We can do ALL things when we depend upon His strength!

It Takes ALL of Us(Hebrews 10:19-25)

Reaching some of the goals that Christ has for our church might seem daunting to us individually. How long would it take for you to raise $5.5 million dollars, or to lead 1000 people to accept Jesus? The beauty of the church, however, is that it isn’t up to just you or me. We are a part of a global church that Jesus said together would do greater things than He did while on earth! If each of us reached one person for Christ in the next three years, our goal of 1000 decisions would be met. That’s why it’s so important for us to encourage one another in this time to continue moving forward. These goals will only happen if ALL of us are ALL IN!

More Than ALL(Ephesians 3:14-21)

As you continue through this devotional, you’ll be encouraged in many ways to ex-amine yourself and see how God can grow your faith and your generosity. As you re-flect upon what God has done for you and our church, you may be ready to go ALL IN! you may be excited to see how we meet our goals with God’s help. Let us never forget, though, that God has the ability to do more than ALL we ask or imagine! We may not know how God could fix us, heal us, or help us reach new heights. We may not know how God will use us to accomplish His vision. But if you open yourself up to God and invite Him to work in you, you may be surprised at the result!

inTRo wEEksmall group studiesAre you All In?Big IdeaGod is calling everyone at First Christian to be ALL IN to His vision for the church.

There are a lot of great things that God has in store for First Christian, and for each individual who calls the church their home. But in order to reap those blessings – we have to be ALL IN. Following Jesus halfway can take the very things that breathe life into us and turn them into dead, weighty obligations. Generosity is one of the areas of the Christian life that is chock full of the blessings that come from following Jesus… are you ready to take a step forward and see what God does?

Everybody QuestionWhat’s an example of a big commitment you’ve made in your life?

Watch ThisCheck out the I’m All In Small Group DVD or go online on First Christian’s Vimeo page to find a testimony about how God called a member of our church to go All In.

week onEsmall group studiesMoving Toward Transformation Big IdeaGod is the first and most generous giver.

From the moment He imparted life to mankind to the climactic gift of salvation through the death of His Son, Jesus Christ, God has set the supreme example of radical, sacrificial giving for His followers. So before we move forward in the act of generous giving, we must move forward in the transformation of our hearts, souls, and minds… a transformation by the truth that God made the first generous move.

week Twosmall group studiesMoving Toward FreedomBig IdeaGenerosity helps free us from the dangers of money.

The dangers of money and wealth often wreak havoc in our personal relationships and professional ambitions. And tragically the same can happen in our local churches and the overarching Body of Christ itself. God warns about the pitfalls of your money and your “stuff.” And by moving away from these pitfalls, we’ll naturally move toward the freedom that comes with the true, generous life.

Everybody Question What is something that you love to shop for?


Discussion1) Which of the devotions from this week encouraged or challenged you the most? Read Matthew 6:24.

_______________________________________________________________________________


• Thank God for the freedom He provides us from materialism and greed through a generous life.

• Pray that we would depend upon Him more rather than placing our trust in wealth.

week THREEsmall group studiesMoving Toward TrustBig IdeaGreat blessings accompany the generous life.

God promises great opportunities to those who give from a pure heart – joy, eternal reward, life prosperity, contentment, commu-nity, and freedom, to share a few. God blesses us with His money for a short time on earth, He empowers us with the Holy Spirit to equip us to give generously, and then He rewards us in so many ways when we trust Him, follow through, and give.

week fouRsmall group studiesMoving Toward Life Big IdeaEveryone can excel in the grace of giving.

We read the books of excellent Christian writers, we download and listen to sermons from excellent Christian preachers, and we worship alongside the music of excellent Christian musicians. But who is known for their excellence in giving? The truth is, one does not have to be rich to be a generous giver. And this pursuit will help lead us to the life that is truly life – true life for us, and a better life for those that are blessed by our generosity.

Praying for Change

In addition to any requests your group members share, we encourage you to fold some of these thoughts and requests into your prayer time.

• Thank God for the many at First Christian who have given faithfully and generously over the years.

• Pray that we would all seek to excel at the grace of giving, and plan to take a next step.

• Pray that God would fill the hearts of those who give with love.

Using This

journalJesus said, “If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23). Not only does that imply personal sacrifice, it is an invitation to daily discipleship. His original call for committed disciples and His call to you today is to a personal, daily walk with Him that will change you at the deepest level.

The following steps present a suggested outline for how to use a 30-minute time period for daily devotions:

1. The best way to begin is to open your Bible and briefly pray for God to speak to you through His Word. Consider using a daily reading plan as a guide to help you find a place to begin reading and to systematically read through the Bible. Read one or two chapters of the Bible with an eye for two or three verses that the Holy Spirit impresses on you as instruction, correction, or encouragement.

2. At the top of one of the daily journaling pages, record the date, what chapters you just read, and a page number. Fill one journal page using the following outline:

God’s Word – Write out two or three verses word-for-word that particularly stand out from your reading. Writing them will help you meditate on the truth the Holy Spirit is impressing on you and will help you retain it.

Notes to Self – In a few sentences, note any details, thoughts, or instructions that seem to be key. This can be a simple life application from what you have just heard from God. What new attitude, action or change is God calling you to make?

Prayer – Write out a brief prayer. Thank God for His Word for you today. Ask for His strength to apply it to your life. As you complete this, you may also want to pray through prayer concerns you list on pages 128-129.

3. Finally, at the top of your journal page, give a title that summarizes your devotional time. Then turn to page 74 and enter information. This last step will help you see if you are growing and developing a healthy new pattern. A healthy goal is five journal entries per week.

Therefore, since we are surrounded

by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin

that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer

and perfecter of faith... hebrews 12:1-2
