WHAT IS VOLUNTEERING?

COMING TOGETHER — TO MAKE A BIGGER DIFFERENCE TOGETHER — THAN WE EVER COULD ON OUR OWN

SET THE TONE FOR THIS YEAR

GOD WANT’S TO DO SOMETHING UNSTOPPABLE THROUGH YOU

IT’S NOT LIMITED BY ABILITY. ONLY AVAILABILITY.

YOU’VE GOT WHAT YOU NEED. YOU JUST GOTTA BE AVAILABLE (MOSES & AARON)

John 10:10 NIV

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

THERE IS NOTHING ON EARTH MORE VALUABLE TO GOD THAN HIS CHURCH

A Christian is who we are individually but the CHURCH is who we are collectively

HE LOVES US ALL individually but there is nothing of greater value than who we are collectively

God’s compassion is for the world but He is concentrated on His Church. WHY? Because the church is how He has chosen to come into our city, to reach this city. The Church is Christ’s body and is what He uses to reach.

We all think something different when we hear church. Hymnals — lights — suits — shorts — quiet — loud — Just as I am —

Fun — snooze fest — healing — hurt — inclusion — exclusion

THE CHURCH IS FULL OF IMPERFECT PEOPLE BUT IT’S THE HOPE OF THE WORLD

We have a mission that is too important and too urgent

Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. 21 His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son.’ 22 “But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. 23 And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, 24 for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began.

Luke 15:25 NLT

25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house,

THE PARTY DOESN’T WORK WITHOUT YOU — SHIFT YOUR MIND ABOUT COMING TO CHURCH —

AVG PERSONS SHOWS UP 1-2 times a month

AND WE SHOW UP WITH ME ON MY MIND INSTEAD OF A MISSION

Look for the lonely — look for the new — learn about who they are — and then peak when I say close your eyes

EVERY TIME YOU SERVE YOU’RE NOT JUST SERVING IN KIDS YOU ARE RUNNING OUT SIDE AND WELCOMING PRODIGALS IN THAT’S WHAT WE ARE DOING
