To end 2007, Perry Noble, preached on the great things God did for the Jews as they left Egypt (Exodus) and the great things God has done thru New Spring Church. The primary point of the message was that God is BIG and that God is capable of doing amazing things and did accomplish amazing things thru New Spring Church in 2007. However, Perry points out that it wasn’t all God’s doing. As Perry stated, “If it’s all God, then why isn’t every church accomplishing the same?” Perry goes on to state that it is “all God working thru people who believe God is as big as the Bible says He is and that God can do what the Bible says He can do.” All we have to do is to believe — then God will move.
Perry issues a challenge to the New Spring Church community that each one of us should take on as a challenge to our own church community.
-
Intentional invitation — invite people to church
-
Connect to community — cares for others in church community and contact them when they miss church
-
Strategic service — since we were created to do good works, we are too valuable to God for us not to be involved in our church
-
Generous giving – thru generous giving, the resources are available to care for others
-
Passionate prayer — bond together thru prayer for the pastor and for the church and ask God to work thru us to see God do amazing things
My prayer is that my church community will turn to God and ask him to do big things thru our church and to believe that he will.
