How do you follow up a weekend like last weekend? Plan bigger and better? Go large? Invite the world into our world? Or do you allow God to give the increase and allow God to bring the partners?

It would be easy to start focusing on next year. But the community is here today. There are needs today that will not wait until next year. It can be very tempting to be a church that grows from event to event. But we need to grow from Sunday to Sunday. The work on Monday must match the message on Sunday.

Do we want to grow bigger? Absolutely! But…we also want to become a church and servant community that will 1. work with our sister churches daily, 2. serve our community daily, and 3. make Jesus famous all the time, not just in July. Taking the battle to the devil not waiting for him to come knocking. We want to be on the offensive, not be offensive.
