Thoughts For May 6th

This Sunday morning will be a landmark in the history of Skyline Church, when a group of people proclaim in one heart's voice that we are committed to seeing the mission of life change become even greater than we have ever dreamed.  It is not a turning point for our church, but rather a moment of acceleration as we move forward and make preparations for our future ministry.

The step we are taking in faith is a step of preparation because we WILL NOT wait until we have to begin another chapter.  We WILL be ready for it.  As we continue to fulfill our mission of LOVING GOD, LOVING OTHERS, AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE, I believe without a shred of doubt that God WILL send a harvest as we have never seen.

I am thanking God in advance for what He has challenged each of you to do and I am thanking you for a response of faith.  Together, God can do amazing things through our church.

This weekend, I have a challenge for you that is four-fold.  1.) Pray intensely beginning right now, that God will move in a powerful way as we bring our commitments to lay at His feet.  2.) Be there!  If you have plans...cancel them.  If you have a ballgame, go late.  Moments like these are just too important not to be a part of.  This is a journey that we are taking together and I in no way want any person who calls Skyline home to miss it.  3.) Come prepared to celebrate.  When I say celebrate, I am not talking about patty-cakes.  I am talking about unashamed celebration for what He has already done and what He is about to do.  We will celebrate our commitment.  We will celebrate our opportunity.  And we will celebrate life change!  4.)  Bring God your best.  Don't just bring God something.  Offer to Him what He has called you to bring.  Whether large or small, when we bring God our everything.....God WILL DO His thing.

The excitement I am feeling right now and the excitement I have been feeling for months about this moment is indescribable.  I know you feel the same way too.  This will be a weekend that each of us will look back on and give praise to God for because it will be a moment where He gives us the opportunity to leave a legacy of eternity.  Hundreds and Thousands more are waiting in the Harvest and through The Mission Central Project......WE WILL HAVE VICTORY and THEY WILL HAVE VICTORY because God is and always will be on the throne!!!  Let's live radically together for Him!!!
