This Sunday at LifeStone Church we begin a brand new mini-series entitled, “New Year’s REVOLUTION”. I am so excited about this “vision series” as we will be looking into where God is taking our church and each of us in the new year of 2012.
As we launch into the new year of 2012, many people’s focuses are on “resolutions” that typically fade out and never bring fruit. “Resolutions” are not bad, just usually not productive for the long haul. With that said, I believe our time in 2012 will be best served if we focus on the “New Year’s REVOLUTION”. You say, what is the Revolution? As we start the new year, how great would it be if people would ask the question, “God, what can I begin to do this year that will further your kingdom?” as opposed to “What should I do different to make my life better?” Do you see the difference? The RESOLUTIONS are typically “ME” focused and the REVOLUTION is all about advancing God’s Kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven”.
Jesus was a revolutionary figure who started a revolutionary movement that has brought change, freedom, healing, belonging, salvation and eternal life to humanity. What is this movement? It’s the Church! The church is not just a building, its an entity designed to be the hands and feet of Jesus until he returns. The church is not to remain stagnant or luke warm, it is designed to grow and thrive in the world we live in!
LifeStone Church and YOU are designed to be a big part of God’s Kingdom. When we all focus on the revolution that Jesus started, imagine what God could do through our church and in us in 2012?
Here is what “New Year’s REVOLUTION” will look like:
Sunday, January 1 – “Funnel Vision – the dream continues” – I will be sharing how LifeStone Church is going to continue to grow and thrive in 2012. I will be sharing some BIG VISION for the church and where I see God leading us this new year. I will also be making some big announcements about new ministries, departments and other new things you will see this year!
Sunday, January 8 – “The End of the Funnel” – I will be sharing about the personal role each of us have in his REVOLUTION. In other words, how we personally can partner with God to continue the REVOLUTION in our community, our city and our world!
What a great start to the new year this will be!! Oh I can’t wait!
