We have an exciting week ahead of us as a church, it is a week that we have set aside as a church family for congregational prayer and fasting. It’s a week that we are asking each one of you as individuals, as families to dedicate intentional and excessive time to seeking God in prayer. Our elders are calling for a fast. That you would not eat, or if not eating is not an option for you that you would give us a hobby, entertainment to create space for prayer. So why would we do that?
There is something about new beginnings and fresh starts that cause us to evaluate: who we were, who we are, who we want to be, what we have done, what we are doing, what we are going to do, where we have been, where we are, and where are we going.
There is something about a new season that causes us to examine our priorities, the things we have valued with our time, energy and resources. If we do that well, if we pray well, if we listen to the spirit of God well, he will deposit something in us that I have found more valuable to me than anything else on the planet.
Vision: Vision is a picture of the future that produces passion.
Vision determines direction, Vision confirms calling, Vision infuses identity, Vision translates into tasks.
