A Sent Mindset
Our vision series has finally come to a close! It has been really powerful to put into words what it is that we as a church are about. When we can all collectively know what the mission is and what the values are, we can all be sent in the same direction.
As we end this series I want to share the quote by Bob Goff I talked about on Sunday one more time: “I used to think you had to be special for God to use you, but now I know you simply need to say yes.”
Friends, we are a sent people. We are sent to love our neighbors and we are sent to share the good news that we have experienced with others. We will be sent in our grace-filled hospitality, our unhindered worship, our kingdom-minded experimentation, and our collaborative spirit.
And all we have to do is say yes.
God has been moving through this sermon series and I believe God has been prompting each of us to an invitation in one way or another to live out these values in a new and deeper way. All you have to do is say yes!
I invite you at some point today or this week to fill out this short survey. We’ve only received 4 surveys so far and I’d love to hear from more of you! I’ve seen many of the mentimeters come through saying you want to get involved in new and deeper ways in your faith and this is your chance to take the step to say yes and to take an action step. Even if it doesn’t have to do with Fusion, I’d still love for you to fill it out. It is powerful to put into words the things God is prompting us to!
It is an honor and a joy to be on the journey of belonging and becoming made new in Christ together!
