Unfinished Mission - Invited: others to invite and the resources to do it.
Unfinished Community - If Jesus is my life, generosity does not pay for the mission. It is the mission.
Unfinished:
Primary Goal – 100% of us would experience God in a new way in this season. That we would consecrate ourselves before God.
Secondary Goal – that we as a people would become more generous than ever to become one Equipped family.
Acts 4:13
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
Engaging with God means fully consecrating ourselves before the Lord.
BOLDNESS
FIRST
SURRENDER
TRUST
1. Embrace the risk.
Acts 4:29-31
Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
2: Enhance our prayer.
THIS IS OUR MISSION. Not just in what we give TO but in what we give FROM. This is a moment when people can see whom we serve.
Acts 4:32
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
3: Elevate our expectations.
Giving to the Lord 100% versus honoring the Lord with 100%.
Consecrating ourselves before the Lord means EVERYTHING we have is his…. Honoring God with 100%.
