THRIVE Leadership

Alright...here goes nothing... my first blogging attempt! It's not that Blogs are anything new to the internet. But I have to admit, they are pretty new to me. Nevertheless, I'm convinced that this could be an excellent way for our teams at Church to stay connected in a whole new way. So, subscribe to the feed - and let's get the inspiration going!

This past Wednesday night at Anthem (Champions Centre's Young Adults Network), Pastor Sheila concluded our teaching series called "Anthem" by compelling us to write our personal mission statements. As only Ps Sheila can do, she took us through the process of writing a personal mission statement. As everyone in the group worked on their own mission statement, you could feel the room coming alive - people seeing their purpose, some for the first time!

Psalm 139:13 in the Message says this:
"...You shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother's womb."

I revisited my mission statement - and decided that I truly like it. If I've never shared it with you, here is it:

My mission - I live to inspire, equip and empower people to love and build the House of God. This is my anthem.

I believe there is nothing we can do as Christians that is more in line with God's will than to love and build the House of God. There is nothing quite as rewarding as seeing someone accept Christ for the first time - and realizing that you played a part in altering someone's life for all eternity. This is the Church - the hands and feet of Jesus.

It is out of this heart that I have decided to write this blog on a regular basis. I hope to be a voice of inspiration into your life...a voice that will compel you to spend your life loving and building the very thing Jesus gave His life for...His Church!

Hope to see everyone in Church this weekend. If you're a Young Adult...ANTHEM is ON again this Wednesday!
