Our
Scriptural Foundation
Based on Isaiah 61:1-3,
Good news to the afflicted - I see a church that preaches the
gospel from the pulpit and from the practicality of how we chose to live our
lives on a daily basis.
Binding up the broken hearted to proclaim liberty to captives, and
freedom to prisoners;
– I see the church gifted and empowered by the
Holy Spirit, using the supernatural gifts of 1st Corinthians 12,
Word of knowledge, word of wisdom, tongues, interpretation of tongues,
healings, Faith and all the rest… to literally be Jesus on the earth, being His
voice, being His hands all for the purpose of bringing healing to broken
people.
To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord - I see
this church telling people who are hopeless that there is hope in Christ, this
world is not all there is! Jesus is coming back!
I Thessalonians 4:16-18 says…
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel and with
the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then
we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore
comfort one another with these words.
To grant those who mourn in Zion, giving them a garland instead of
ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of
a spirit of fainting. – I see lives that once were defeated becoming victorious lives
in Christ! That is what Holy Spirit is trying to reveal here! Gladness instead
of mourning, praise instead of fainting.
This kind of church will be
called “The oaks of righteousness.” the planting of the Lord, the display of
His splendor.
Are we practical in our approach
to this spiritual insight? I believe
so…. Our vision, mission and core values are very practical and within our
grasp.
Spiritually speaking this
congregation is rock solid!
