Believe, Part 2









I wanted to share with you a few statements or anthems our church is standing on during "Believe" (the Mission Expansion Project; you can find part 1 here). It has been awesome to see our church invigorated and inspired to be a part of the mission of God for our city. Here we go:

1. "I don't want to build a monument with my life...I want to birth a movement."

2. "All that is necessary to complete the mission of God in the world is already in the hands of his church."

3. "The value you place on something is shown by what you'll give up for it."

4. "Throughout the Bible and throughout history, God shows off his power when people believe."

5. "Buildings are tools. People are our mission."

6. "I don't know what God is going to do, but I'll tell you what he won't do: he won't get up in the morning and check the stock market to determine which of his marvelous works he can afford to accomplish."

7. "God's people act differently in a time of recession because they know they have Jesus today and tomorrow."
