Here's 10 things that I was reminded of today at REVO to share with you and challenge you with.
1. The same power that was in Jesus as he preached, healed, performed miracles, and equipped disciples is now in us. We are unstoppable!
2. The Word of God is authoritative, powerful, life-changing, and challenging. We need to know it!
2. The same calling and mission in Acts 1:8 that Jesus gave the first New Testament Church is the same mission that the Church has today. We know what to do!
3. Jesus forgiving sins, dying in our place, resurrecting from the dead, and offering salvation is worthy of more excitement and fanfare than anything that ever happens in a stadium or sports arena. We're on the winning team!
4. The Spirit is the same, the message is the same, the God is the same, the power and authority of the Word is the same, the direct access to God through prayer is the same, and the method that God chose to share Jesus with the world is the same today as it was in Acts. We are dangerous!
5. The mission has been communicated and the Spirit has been sent. We don't need anything else!
6. We bear witness to the Gospel of Jesus not out of obligation or guilt but out of excitement, anticipation, jubilation, and obedience. We have to tell people!
7. The calling on followers of Jesus is from our hometown to the ends of the earth. We have to go!
8. Even with below-freezing temperatures outside, worshipping authentically and preaching twice in one day is a workout. We have to wear more deodorant next week!
9. It takes an army of people that are All-In to help REVO be obedient in sparking a revolution of life change through Jesus. We have some incredible volunteers!
10. The Church not only gathers, but also scatters to accomplish the mission and be faithful with the opportunity that we've been entrusted with. We don't go to church, we ARE the church!
Let's be a Dangerous Church!
