Have you signed up to be a part of the Mark Initiative?
We have posted on
the white board in the kitchen an awareness spot for the Mark Initiative. You
will see on this board the central book of the Bible we will be studying. You
will also see the four cornerstones of this study.
1 - Pick a Partner
2 - Make a
Commitment
3 - Take it
Seriously
4 - Grow in
Christ.
You will see the
names of those who have made the commitment to be a part of this exciting
study. You will see those who have partners already and those who are looking
for someone to partner with. Let me encourage you to join us as we come
together to grow together to watch before our eyes, God transform this great
church into an even greater church.
My dad, for years, had a small piece of paper taped to the pulpit
he preached from with the following reminder…
EXPECT A
MIRACLE!
I want my life to
be lived expecting God to a miraculous new thing right in front of me. I have
seen God do miracles many times. The greatest is when we get front row seats in
seeing a sinner become a saint through salvation.
I know God wants
to a "New Thing"... "A Miracle"... "A Life Changing
Movement" among His people at EBCI. Think about that for a moment. God is
inviting us to join Him in His work and wants to speak to us through His word
to grow us into someone more like Christ so we can reach the nations. This is
not an option, it is a command. It is also built upon the fact that God is
sovereign and has equipped us with everything we need to accomplish His purpose
as we allow Him to live in and through us.
Do not think about being a part of this, step up, sign up and enter
the first step in becoming the Disciple God intends for us to be. If you think
about it, you will probably find many reasons to not be a part – all of which are
to your detriment.
I love you EBCI. I want the best for you. Studying God’s Word
together is part of that demonstration of love.
Calling all EBCIers to choose Jesus first. Great to Greater.
