Focus on the Basics!!

Wow! These last two weekends at church have been extremely powerful!!

As your campus pastor, I want to take a minute of our time to really challenge ALL of us to examine our own lives and to meditate on these last two weekend messages, allowing them to sink deep into the well of our hearts. I refuse to allow them to just be "great messages" that fill up a few pages of notes and marinade in my mind for a couple of weeks, never really producing the fruit of it's potential. I pray our whole team of leaders at our campus have that very same intention.
I think it would be so appropriate to ask everyone to listen to these weekend services again at some point throughout this week. They are available on podcast and on CD in the bookstore. These messages bring such clear understanding and communicate our purpose as believers.
Bottom line... We aren't here to build cute church, reach a few people, punch the clock of religion, fight our own lil' personal faith fight, and barely squeeze into heaven when our time comes! We are here to cultivate a burning, passionate relationship with our God, that is the main thing! And the result of making the "main thing" our #1 responsibility, we will develop a love for God's people and a desire to reach lost souls and introduce them to a love they have never experienced before! We are called to fall deeper in love with our Father everyday. We are called to be aggressive soul winners, adding to the church daily. That's how we win a city and make our time (that is but a vapor) here on this earth fulfilling and successful!!

Clovis leaders, let's put our focus on the basics... Daily making our relationship with God the main thing and bringing lost souls to Jesus (inviting people to church).

I truly believe that if we focus on these two things, with intensity and endurance, everything else in our lives will be more prosperous than we can ever imagine!

I love you guys and I appreciate all of you for being vision carriers of this house to advance God's Kingdom!
