The goals which I am sharing with you are best applied as you take one at
a time. However, I urge you to make sure you are experiencing spiritual lifechange as you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ (2 Peter 3:18). Our teenagers are currently experiencing a special
D-NOW (Disciple Now) weekend. We welcome special guest, Dr. Alvin Reed,
Evangelism Professor and long-time youth communicator from Southeastern
Baptist Theological Seminary. Discipleship is for all believers and not just for
teenagers. However, pray for them to be disciples (learners) and witnesses.
We are to know why we are here, Who we serve, and where we are going.
This is why Jesus made a priority of prayer, very early in the morning, but
He also refused to stay in a region even though the apostles tried to twist His
arm by saying, Everyone is looking for You! He said, Let us go on to the next
towns that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out (Mark 1:35-38).
The world and not the local need was His call and mission. We are here to be
conformed to Jesus image (Romans 8:29), but also to reach others. May we be
focused like Jesus. The famous missionary doctor, Albert Schweitzer, stated: I
dont know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know; the ones among you
who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.
The apostle Paul declared, This one thing I do I press on toward the goal for
the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13, 14). The
Lord impressed on me that we should attempt to do at least one thing in different
areas. Of course, you may do far more, but I urge you to focus by making your
vision not only visible (with the eyes of faith), but also measurable and possible.
You can do all things through Him who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13).
*There is a guest reception in the Commons following the Saturday night and
Sunday morning 11:00am worship services. Pastor would love to meet you!
