Going BIG!

  [Pastor Randy's blog]

This blog is about going BIG at Central this summer.  Think on the power of these thoughts for a moment;

  • people have small faith because they serve a small god
  • people create the future they want
  • people get out of life what they expect
Most people do not live proactively.  They don't try to picture or live in the future.  Therefore, they don't have a part in creating the future.  Maybe it suffices to say that what people need is a BIGGER picture of the future.  We are in the process of doubling the size of our church.  Beginning in July we are going to 'go radical' by most standards when it comes to doing that. We will be amazed at what happens on the weekend of August 14-15 when we officially go 'multi-site' at Central.

We cannot have explosive growth if we do not ask for it.  And we cannot have it if we do not prepare for it!  The first step on this day is to ask you to pray unusually about and for, explosive growth at Central.  "Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity."  Colossians 4:5.  We must continually press ourselves to understand and accept that we must be more concerned about those driving by our church and not coming in, than those who are coming and are already in. 

Comfortable Christians are dangerous creatures. Comfortable Christians will be the first to say, "We shouldn't be so interested in numbers."  Or, "What about ministering to those who are already here?"   What they don't understand is that the main reason they have the empowering of the Holy Spirit is so they will be witnesses. (Acts 1:8).  Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to those who do not know Him is job one in any church.  Ironically, the needs of believers always get met when they are fulfilling the Great Commission.

All I am asking you to do right now is begin the praying process over the next couple weeks preparing yourself and our hearts for the explosive growth God is going to bring to Central.  We are in miracle territory at Central.  If God doesn't intervene spiritually, relationally, physically, and financially, we're sunk!   The good news is, God is faithful!  He always does His part.  Let's just make sure we do our part.
