“Faith, Family, Flourishing…”
This isn’t really a “vision” Sunday… a “revelation” Sunday… We believe God is revealing His plan for MSTAR Church… which does require us to have a clear vision.
What Happens When There is No Vision?
Proverbs 29:18 (NASB)
“Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, but happy is one who keeps the Law.”
Where there is no “prophetic revelation” the people perish.
I Samuel 3:1 (NIV)
“The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions.”
The Law was known! But it had been a long time since God had intervened with mankind…
No Word… No Supernatural Manifestations… No Visible Glory… Just a lot of silence!
It All Changed with Samuel, the High Priest. – Then Anointed Kings – Then Appointed Prophets
Then after another long season of silence – a Forerunner, John the Baptist –
Then Jesus the Messiah!
The Word of God – Supernatural Manifestations – Revealed Glory!
After Jesus???? What was God’s Plan???? The CHURCH!
Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
[The Vehicle for His Word!]
Mark 16:17-18 (NIV)
“And these sins will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
[The Hands of His Supernatural Power]
Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV)
“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…”
[The Embodiment of His Revealed Glory]
Without the church… Without the church to share His Word… Without the church to be His supernatural hands extended… Without the church to reveal the Glory of the Head… communities perish!
MSTAR Church has been filled with His Glory and Anointed with His Power, so that we could share His Word… His life-giving, life-changing Word!
Faith… Family… Flourishing…?
Who Am I?
I am a person of faith… it is through grace by faith that I have been saved. Faith not from myself, but a wonderful gift from God. It’s a growing faith, a maturing faith!Who Are We?
We are committed to family… ***in today’s world, this idea has been warped, denigrated… We will discover what it means to be the family of God!What is Are Goal?
Are goal is to Flourish!
“Flourish” – to grow or develop in a healthy way, especially as the result of a favorable environment.
This is our goal for everyone who calls MSTAR Church home!
“Flourish” – a bold or extravagant action to attract the attention of others.
This is our goal for everyone in our community… that we would attract their attention so that they can find Faith in Christ, and Join the Family!
