Today is Vision Sunday for 2019.
I want to take some time to share with you what God has done this previous year and share what I feel God leading us to as a church family in 2019.
If you are a guest with us today?
We are so very glad that you chose to be with us this Sunday.
We want to connect with you.
If you did not receive one when you came in, we have a gift for you.
Stop by the connect table in the back and one of our team members will be sure to get it to you.
Are you excited about this new year?
Have you made big plans for the year?
Maybe you have planned..
vacation
when to take days off from work
projects you are going to finish this year
Goals you are going to crush
Beginning of the year is a fantastic time.
It is like the canvas has been cleared and now anything can be possible.
I want to preach to us today about three callings.
Branches Calling
My Calling as your Pastor
Your Calling
Branches Calling
Our Vision: Branches in every city, community, and neighborhood in Metro Atlanta.
Our Mission: Connect people to Jesus, make disciples, and bear fruit for His glory.
We are not a spiritually dead church built on ritual.
We are not a church based on American consumerism pursuing consumer Christians looking for a shallow religious experience.
We are a Spirit filled, Spirit led church.
We teach and preach a new birth experience as Jesus and the disciples who followed Him taught and preached.
Leading everyone to belief in Jesus Christ as the only Lord and savior, with repentance from sin and baptism in the name of Jesus Christ.
To those who obey He has promised that He would fill them with the gift of the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues just as the first church did in the book of Acts.
Calling people to discipleship.
Calling people to the work of sanctification and to a holy lifestyle.
We are striving toward being a book of Acts church in the 21st century.
A healthy church that can make an impact in a world that needs God.
What makes us healthy?
As a body our numbers continue to grow each year.
Attendance grew, finances grew, the number of people baptized grew, the number of people who received the gift of the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues grew, the amount of hours we spent in prayer grew.
The signs of a healthy church!
Praise God!
We should give the Lord a hand clap of praise for what he has done.
My Calling
To feed, lead, and tend.
Feeding, its easy to swallow.
But people can struggle with the leading and the tending.
What do you mean?
There are going to be times this year when I am going to challenge you to rise higher in your consecration to God.
There will be times when I warn you about snares that I see.
There will be times when I pull us to do more for God and His kingdom.
It may get uncomfortable.
I do it because I love you and because He has called me to lead you away from this world and toward righteousness according to His Word.
That word equipping means perfecting - an ongoing work.
Salvation is more than a past event.
We say “I have been saved”.
When what we really mean is I was justified.
Jesus paid the price for my sins.
We don’t stop there.
We are being sanctified.
Soon we will be glorified!
Perfected for eternity!
Salvation starts in your spirit, works thru sanctifying your soul and mind and then glorifies your body.
Justified, sanctified, and glorified.
Look at someone beside you and say “We are on this journey together!”
Your Calling
To love one another as yourself.
Not chewing each other up by talking about one another.
Everyone likes to stop reading right there.
Here is my question for you.
What are you going to do this year to fulfill your calling?
What passion and desire of the flesh are you going to crucify so that you are closer to resembling Christ than last year?
