EPIC Community
WOW! What an amazing week. I preached for the first time at Watermark this past Sunday and it was great. I feel like the sermon went well and that the message connected with people. Most of all I feel like those who were there heard truth preached deeply and passionately and were challenged to respond to it. It is my prayer that we will not be a people who have a consumer mindset about the body but rather that we would see her for who she is and give ourselves freely to her.
An EPIC Community consists of:
Exalting God
Pursuing Christ
Influential Purpose
Captivating Relationships
I pray that as each of us sees the Christ and our duty to participate in relationships that gloryify Him we will feel the weight of the Cosmic Purpose of the Church. To be the Light TO the World and the Light OF the Cosmos!!
Ephesians 3:14-21
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
