How to Miss Your Flight...


I'm interrupting our current preaching series, called "Grow" in order to present some important information about how to catch the plane to our future together.

God is taking us on a journey together and the plane to our future is taking off. We all want to know what God's will is, and how to get on board with what God is doing. So over the next 6 weeks I am going to share 6 more ways to miss out on what God has in store for us so that we can avoid those things and get on board with what God wants to do.

When Jesus declared that he would establish his church, he said that the gates of death will not prevail against it. The gates of Hell can never defeat the church! But the thing about this is, gates don't move, so if we want to see victory, then we must move forward as a community.

What this means is that we run the greatest risk of being defeated if we do nothing to make progress as a community for God's purposes. Jesus said that a house divided against itself cannot stand, and I believe that one of the reasons is because a house divided isn't going anywhere!

But a house united together in Christ for the purposes of God is bomb-rushing the gates of Hell, moving into enemy territory to save the lost and change the world, and in storming the Gates of Hell we will find victory!

But we must have our I.D. in Christ and God's calling on us alone. Then when God calls us forward and things change because of it, we will unite together for God's purposes, and allow Him to take us where he wants us to go.

So be sure to attend the next 6 weeks, because I will be revealing what our future together as a community will look like. It is an exciting future. I believe it is a God-ordained and Spirit-led future, and the plane is about to take off.

It was great to worship with you on Sunday!

God bless you!
