My riding buddy! Having a great day at SeaWorld. Thankful to have a fun day together!! Great day at SeaWorld San Antonio! It was good to see you @paseofarmersmkt Vicki! Thankful for the peppers and Jelly from @4cagservice Men: Living up to the potential we have in Christ takes Courage! Join us for Main Event Men's Conference, September 28-29, 2018 at Sparks Campground! Swipe left to see the conference poster and website information! Jesus is the hope of the world and in His grace and mercy has chosen to partner together with us in reaching people with the message of the Cross! A lost world is not looking for buildings or programs, they are looking for the church to live as the hands, feet, and voice which shows and proclaims His Word.⠀ ~⠀ The Church is a group of people who bridge the gap, connecting others around the world to God through acts of service and a message of grace! Not only are we mandated to carry out the Great Commission, we have been empowered for that exact purpose! Pursuing the Spirit Empowered life begins with an unquenchable hunger for the leadership of the Holy Spirit in our lives. God in His grace and mercy has provided for us a tremendous opportunity which He promised would be be given to each believer. When we recognize our tremendous need of help in living the abundant life, we must choose to passionately pursue the empowerment of the Spirit. ⠀ ~⠀ The church must recognize it's need to not only experience the power and expression of the Holy Spirit, but live it out each day. The world is looking for a church that is empowered to accomplish Kingdom purposes.⠀ ~⠀ May God give the church a hunger for the Spirit-Empowered life which permeates our visions, values, and purposes as the body of Christ!⠀ ~⠀ @timenloe @mikeclarensau Oklahoma School of Ministry is starting this fall! We are looking forward to training students to fulfill their God-given purpose through training and development! Whether they are going into full-time ministry or are volunteering, each student will develop a strong foundation in the Word and ministry in the local church! For more information and to sign up today go to www.okag.org/osom The Thessalonian church had little to commend it according to modern standards of appraisal. ⠀ ~⠀ It had no buildings, programs, performers, or publications. It was not a large or wealthy church, the congregation lacked any social or political influence, and they did not have a famous pastor. ⠀ ~⠀ They could not offer prospective converts the comfortable, entertaining, nonthreatening environment of a modern user-friendly church. Instead, their reputation boasted that they faced many persecutions and afflictions.⠀ ~⠀ Yet they were a church to which the apostle Paul could write, "We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right...Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God...⠀ ~⠀ Why? ⠀ -They were genuine in their Commitment to Christ⠀ -They were increasing in their Faith⠀ -They were growing in in their Love⠀ -They had a Kingdom Attitude⠀ ~⠀ Keep these 4 Characteristics in mind when evaluating the success of the church. It might just change your perspective on what determines a successful church! Sometimes the hardest thing for us to do is keep moving forward especially after failure. ⠀ ~⠀ Do not give up, there is a reward to persistently pursuing your vision. There will be setbacks, but there are also great victories as you press onward! ⠀ ~⠀ The best is yet to come! A man with a purpose will have something to get up for each morning. Something that stirs a fire within and causes him to rise with anticipation of what the day will bring! ~ Passionately pursuing God’s will for our lives is the foundation to living the fulfilled life. How God uniquely created you, provides the tools (skills, talents, passions) you use everyday to accomplish His plan. ~ Life without purpose only leads to want, a longing for something more, something to satisfy the need inside that only God can supply. ~ Look to the author and finisher of your faith for the answer that you have been longing for. Rise up each morning with a passionate desire to fulfill the purposes He has created you for! 4 Ways to Love Your Pastor (link in bio)
