In my previous blog I asked you to begin praying and preparing for a radical season of change in our fellowship as I introduced Going BIG. By that I mean, that Central Community Church is in the process of becoming multi-site. One church in two locations. Central Ministries, now as Central Community and Pineda POINTE.
The praying and preparing is underway. We have started the remodel of the facility at US1 & Pineda Causeway and it it exciting! Beginning the middle of July we are going to begin our 30 march toward doubling the size of our ministry! We are going to pray, work, invite, share the Good News, pray some more, and then witness the results of this radical transformation of our fellowship. We will see between 500-600 people on the Weekend of August 14-15th at our two locations. We're Going BIG!
I really want someone to criticize me of being numbers conscience. I want to shake someone up! And the one I want to shake up first is the Devil. Because I know that adding people to the body of Christ means the Kingdom of God grows worldwide. And if we aren't growing we can't impact the lost world around us. How can we disciple new believers if we are not adding new believers to the fellowship? I want to bust through the 500 barrier by the end of summer.
Interpret the following verse with me. "Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full." Luke 14:23. What do you think? It's certainly not hard to get the picture here is it? You could say, "Canvas your neighborhood. Invite friends and strangers. Compel them to come to church with you and fill up to capacity the space you have." For what reason? In order to present to them the facts of the gospel and the love of God for them! This very prayer turned into action is a motivating force that brings people into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We call it invest & invite. You have people in your life who you are investing in relationally. Invite them to come to church with you on August 14-15. We promise to share the gospel with them.
And you know what? It's the best, most exhilarating fun you will ever have. Creating a party in heaven and a celebration on earth. I can't wait! All I want you to do right now is pray and prepare as we ramp up for this explosion!
