Follow Jesus. Make a Difference.

Posted on Oct 9, 2017 in Uncategorized |

The most recognizable brand/logo in the world is Coca-Cola. 97% of people recognize it. The vision of Coca-Cola is that everyone in the world taste it. The most recognizable symbol in the world is the cross with its transforming life and power for those who believe.

After working with our staff and leadership, we have decided to simplify our mission statement to make it more recognizable and easy for all to remember. We want to “Follow Jesus. Make a difference.”

Out of 7 billion people worldwide, 3 billion have never heard the name of Jesus. Our commission is to make disciples wherever He leads, whether locally or globally. We need more than head knowledge about Jesus, but a life changing encounter where He enables us by the Holy Spirit to actually go where He leads and do what He says.

The Great Commission hasn’t changed. He calls us to “go” and promises to send us with His authority and power. He will be with us until the end of the age.

Is there any baggage you need to leave behind in order to truly follow Jesus? He will empower you to do that, and then enable you to follow Him and make a difference.

Prayer Makes a Difference

Posted on Oct 9, 2017 in Uncategorized |

From September 27, 2017 Message by Brad Jurischk

Synopsis:

Only through prayer will our mission and vision to Follow Jesus and Make a Difference become a reality. All our plans, hopes, and dreams can only be accomplished through on-going, fervent prayer.

Philippians 4: 6-7 tells us how to accomplish this. Do not be anxious about anything. That’s a tall order as we consider local and global events. They will always be with us. How then shall we overcome? First, pray – develop a relationship with God, through the Word and prayer. Bring your petitions to Him. He is the only one who has power and authority to effect change and answer. With thanksgiving – before the answer is received, which is an expression of your trust and faith. Then let your requests be made know. This results in peace that transcends your human understanding, and will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.

Accept the three-fold challenge of prayer:

1 – Pray for our church and its mission.

2 – Pray for yourself daily asking Jesus where you can follow Him and make a difference.

3 – Attend our Service of Prayer and Healing

Let us all follow Jesus and make a difference!
