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???
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!
