January - Foundations

Hey guys its a New Year. It means new memories, new friends, new journeys among so many other things. 

We have put the final nail in our move to Macon. My job has transferred me to a branch in Macon and the move is real now. It has been great being around my team more and meeting tons of new people. Everyday proves to be an adventure! If I were to tell you all the things that were happening I wouldn't have enough space or time! 

What is encouraging though is that we have a team of people who clearly understand what our goals and aims are and we have set a plan of action in place to be successful this year. Jesus spent so much time with his disciples with the intention of leaving the ministry in their hands. He knew that after he left that the 12 would be left to continue what He started. 

Not that I am planning on leaving, but we have determined to spend this next year with our team, and anyone else the Lord brings us, so that we can ensure we are building on a firm foundation. 

Laying this foundation is vitally important in the life and success of our church. Read the following passage the Lord has given us as we begin to set the stage for what God wants to do through VC2-Macon.

"Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. ” Luke 6:46-48 ESV

And this we will do my friends. We are going to dig deep into God's word, in prayer, in giving in order to ensure we are building on a firm foundation. And that foundation is none other than Jesus!

Pray for us as we begin to lay a foundation that is deep. We all know that before any structure goes up it must have a deep foundation. We are looking to dig a deep foundation because we are looking to have a big impact. We aren't only praying for ourselves but for every Church that is preaching Jesus. We pray for their success and value their future friendship.
