Opportunities
Chris Mayfield 07/14/08
Dear Journey Church,
We are being given many opportunities! As I was away this past week on vacation God allowed me to sit on the sidelines so to speak, and just watch our church from a distance. What I saw were so many opportunities that we have to impact people with the hope of Jesus Christ.
Many of us just hung out with about 20,000 people over the last two days who live right by us at the Meet Me in Mill Creek Festival. What an opportunity God gave us to not only serve but to build relationships with people who might one day surrender their life to the Gospel.
In the midst of that we had opportunities to show mercy to many families in our church who are going through very difficult things to handle by themselves. God gave us the opportunity to live community, true biblical community.
God now has three more opportunities starting tonight! Three nights that we have called Days in the Park, where parts of our church will go and just hang out with our community intentionally to build bridges to Jesus Christ and is body called the church.
What's crazy is there are tons of opportunities in our church right now. You are an opportunity. Jesus has you, He has given you things to do, and He calls you to do it around other people. This all leads to these opportunities I am talking about. Opportunities to impact this world by the way we live ours. This week look for opportunities to speak the name of Jesus to your culture (family, friends, church body, and the world).
