ONE WOPPIN' WEEKEND!


As leaders there are two big things that are required of us going into this weekend: 

1) Believe BIG!

Time and time again Jesus said in the Gospels, “According to your faith, it will be done for you...”

Notice that God’s miracles took place in people’s lives based on what they believed could be done for them. God can’t force us to believe but He is limited on what He can do based on our belief. The Bible says concerned the Israelites that they “limited the Holy One of Israel” because of their stubborn unbelief.

Let’s set our faith high! Not only for what God can do corporately in the church, but also in your personal life. There are an innumerable amount of situations taking place, but God is bigger than all of them and why not this weekend be the one that He breaks through!

2) INVITE!

Let’s take a second and look at this passage as it pertains to our second point today. Proverbs 24:11-12 says this: 

Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death; don’t stand back and let them die. Don’t try to disclaim responsibility by saying you didn’t know about it. For God, who knows all hearts, knows yours, and he knows you knew! And he will reward everyone according to his deeds.

Wow! If that doesn’t get right to the heart of the matter I don’t know what does! We have an obligation, as those that have received life it is our duty to give life to others. Not that we are the ones to give life but we are the ones that God will work through.

Don’t let the business of life, or job obligations steal your purpose in life! This is the greatest joy on earth, to see others impacted by Jesus! Clovis leaders, let’s fill up that building this weekend; with God’s help we can do it!

Here are some ways that we DON’T want you to invite :)



RECRUITING!

As you leaders know, the Clovis campus would be a disaster every weekend if we did not have the amazing volunteers that we have. We are so grateful for you! Without you, people would be everywhere! There would be kids swinging from the light poles in the sanctuary, there would be no coffee, which means everyone would be grumpy, and most of all, people would not be welcomed, loved, and cared for.

We are truly thankful for you and are excited to see where God is taking us! Let’s keep in mind leaders, that our church is growing and with that growth God is expecting us to “tend to His flock”. With that growth we need more people to step up and help shoulder the weight. With where we are going we can’t do this thing with just us, we need more help!

Aggressively go after those people with us that you know should be serving. The truth is, serving does benefit the church, but it benefits the individual’s life exceedingly more!

Who are you recruiting???


VOLUNTEER OF THE WEEK


ROLAND RAMON!

Roland has been a part of our Campus Security for many years now and he is the perfect candidate for Volunteer of the Week! He is a tremendous leader on our campus, laying down his life and schedule to serve and we can’t thank him enough. Not only is he very good at what he does, but he also takes the time to love people and sincerely care for them on our campus. Thank you Roland for being an over and above kind of guy! We love you and thank you for all you’re doing on our campus. And also a big thank you for sharing your “money miracle” with us, how inspiring!
