Little Worship Boy! … transforming lives through the work of the Spirit into fully developing followers of Christ

Adventure Ahead!

Last weekend was a blast—full of activity and ministry!  We had Worship Under the Big Top on Saturday evening followed up with Worship services at First Red Oak on Sunday morning.  These events were special for a number of reasons.  They provided opportunity to simply draw near to GOD and lead folks in worship of the MOST HIGH—always a treat!  But also, we were surrounded and embraced by such a wonderful community!

I am so grateful for the community GOD has so blessed us with.  A community composed of rich relationships and many deep spirited friends from over the years.  And, our community is a continual work in progress.  Even as we reconnect with old friends through our ministry opportunities, GOD continues to cultivate fresh new ministry friendships seemingly every day!  I love the way GOD is knitting this tapestry of community into our lives.

An Authentic Biblical Community is at the center of the real CHURCH of GOD.  People, who are alive in CHRIST, fully surrendered to HIS purposes and plans.  Men and women, young and old alike, all surrendered, seeking to become fully developing followers of CHRIST.

ABC is realized when believers embrace the mission JESUS gave HIS CHURCH in Matthew 28.  We find our beginnings—our purpose and meaning—in the Great Commission.  By GOD’s authority and command, JESUS commissioned HIS CHURCH by saying, “Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: FATHER, SON, and SPIRIT.  Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you.”

My future is rooted firmly in this commission.  This is my mission… my purpose!  To be wholly saturated in the work of my MASTER.  To train everyone I meet, both far and near, in the way of this life!

Now, to be sure, much of my life has been devoted to these things already.  BUT, over the last few months GOD has been revealing a greater sense of this call on my life—a deeper understanding of the things HE has purposed my life to be about.  I’m excited to see how GOD continues to shape my life as HE step-by-step reveals HIS plans for the future.

Adventure Awaits

When was the last time you stepped out on a new adventure with GOD?  And, I’m talking about a real adventure!  The kind where success relies entirely on GOD accomplishing it?!  If it’s been a while—or, if never—let me encourage you to prayerfully seek the adventure GOD wants to lead you on!  Begin it today by prayerfully embracing the commission JESUS has already given you!

I’ll further invite you to come along and partner with me in this adventure!  Together, in community, we’ll face the adversities and celebrate the victories of the adventure GOD has purposed and planned for our lives!
