State Of The Church '09...

This past Sunday, January 4th - 2009, I gave the first ever Lifepoint "State Of The Church" address. We revisited the vision of Lifepoint Church (Lifepoint Church is a community of real people committed to connecting individuals to Christ through: Genuine Relationships, Engaging Worship, and Relevant Teaching). We also made sure that each and every person understands our mission, which we refer to as "L3" (L3-live, learn, lead - live life together, learn about those around us and more about Christ, and lead others to God). Just so we're on the same page - our "vision" helps us accomplish our "mission."

In Sunday's "State Of The Church" message I clearly laid out the rules for 2009, that Lifepoint Church will follow, and casted vision for what is to come. What does that mean for Lifepoint Church?! It means that 2009 is going to be an amazing year for Lifepoint Church, it's attenders, and those in the surrounding communities!

The rules for 2009:
1. We're going to break the rules.
We're going to do what nobody else is doing, to reach who nobody else is reaching!

2. We're going to believe God for the impossible.
Salvations, healings, land aquisition, future building, greater missions giving, etc...

3. We're going to redefine success.
We won't use the same standards that the "church" in America uses.

I fully believe that God will use Lifepoint Church in 2009 and the coming years to reach thousands of people...thousands! You have no idea how excited and honored I am to be part of what God is doing.

Hope to see you Sunday.
