Vision Sunday – 2019 “All In”
Today is our Vision Sunday in which we take an opportunity to look ahead towards next year and God’s vision for our church before the December season. In 2019 we believe that God is inviting and challenging us to be a church that is “All In” for him.
No Other Gods Besides Me
Exodus 20:1-3 NIV
This means more than just not worshipping other gods. It means to have no priorities, no values, no purpose other than to serve God as Lord. God wants us to be All in.
What does it look like to be All In for God?
All of me In
Mark 12:29-30 NIV
Jesus said that the greatest command is to love God with every part of our being. To be All In means that no part of me is left out, every part of me is in.
Luke 9:59-62 NIV
According to Jesus following him is all or nothing. Even priorities and values considered culturally and socially important did not factor for Jesus in comparison with the call to be All In for him.
Will you make a fresh decision to be All In for Jesus?
All of us In
Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV
To be All In also means that we are all in together. All of us are In. In a world filled with alternate priorities, God’s word challenges us to make gathering with the church a priority. And not just gathering, but serving together as the body of Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:12, 27 NIV
1 Corinthians 12:17-22 NIV
Will you make Sunday gatherings a foundational priority for you and your family?
Will you not just come but serve as part of the body?
Holding Nothing Back
Being All In means holding nothing back and holding on to nothing but Jesus.
What do you need to let go of?
What do you need to hand over to Jesus?
Imagine what God could do if we were All In for Jesus…
“The world has yet to see what God will do with and for and through and in and by a person who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him.”
As our life groups gather this week, we have attached our reference verse and some questions to prompt a deeper discussion and search into this week's topic.
